Expected Monetary Value (EMV) - Assignment

In Kandahar province, the project manager subtracts Planned Value from Earned Value to see if work is being completed on schedule.Which EVM metric is being calculated?

• Schedule Variance (SV)

• Cost Variance (CV)

• Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

• Timeline deviation metric reflecting effort delivery velocity and target phase completion pacing

During a financial review in Herat province, the team calculates the difference between the value of work performed and the actual cost of doing it. What does this calculation represent?

• Cost Variance (CV)

• Earned Value (EV)

• Cost Baseline

• Cost differential metric using earned output measurement and cumulative expenditure indexing

While tracking performance in Parwan province, a project coordinator divides Earned Value by Planned Value to evaluate the team’s schedule efficiency. Which metric is this?

• Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

• Schedule Variance (SV)

• Cost Performance Index (CPI)

• Progress ratio derived from scheduled output alignment and pace-adjusted deliverable sequencing

In Kabul, a sponsor asks for an efficiency metric that shows how much value is being delivered for every dollar spent. The PM divides EV by AC. Which metric is being referenced?

• Cost Performance Index (CPI)

• Cost Variance (CV)

• Estimate at Completion (EAC)

• Financial output effectiveness ratio using earned effort vs. actual investment alignment

After calculating SPI = 0.85 and CPI = 0.95 on a project in Jalalabad, the PM explains that the team is behind schedule and over budget. What do these values indicate about project health?

• The project is behind schedule and over budget

• The project is ahead of schedule but under budget

• The project is on track and within budget

• Budget-schedule correlation reflecting parallel underperformance and task stream deviation from baseline forecasting
