Earned Schedule Management (ESM) uses the same data as Earned Value Management (EVM) does but translates the variations into time instead of cost. In this way, for example, you can say halfway through your project, how many weeks you are lagging behind schedule. A schedule variance expressed in time is much more appealing to use than expressing it in euro\u2019s as is the case in conventional EVM.<\/p>\n<p>The table shows the parameters used in this blog along with an example in the last column. In our example, we are in week 24 (Actual Time), the value realized in week 24 was originally planned for week 18 to be completed (Earned Schedule). This means that we are 6 weeks behind schedule (This is our Schedule Variance (t)). Using Earned Schedule, we will discuss in this blog how you can use this data to make predictions about the expected finish date of your project (Estimate at Completion (t)).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1587 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Time-Forecasting-with-Earned-Schedule-2nd-round-1_Tabel-1024x242.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Time-Forecasting-with-Earned-Schedule-2nd-round-1_Tabel-1024x242.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Time-Forecasting-with-Earned-Schedule-2nd-round-1_Tabel-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Time-Forecasting-with-Earned-Schedule-2nd-round-1_Tabel-768x182.png 768w, https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Time-Forecasting-with-Earned-Schedule-2nd-round-1_Tabel.png 1992w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Time Forecasting with Earned Schedule<\/h3>\n<h4>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Current Variance is typical for future work<\/h4>\n<p>In our example, we are 6 weeks behind while 24 weeks elapsed. If we continue this pace into the future, then we expect that, at the planned finish date of 48 weeks, we will be 12 weeks late. This method, of using the current Schedule Performance Index (SPI<sub>t<\/sub>) to make a forecast about the expected finish date (EAC<sub>t<\/sub>), can be applied, using the following formula:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1588 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_formule1-300x105.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"165\" height=\"53\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In our example, this means that <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1589 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule2-300x38.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"215\" height=\"21\" \/>.<\/p>\n<p>This method cannot hide behind &#8220;wishful thinking&#8221;, precisely what EVM and ESM techniques are intended for. For this reason, the IEAC<sub>t<\/sub>, the Independent EAC<sub>t,<\/sub> is often discussed. The IEAC<sub>t<\/sub> generally means that only the calculation method above can be used. If the EAC<sub>t<\/sub> deviates from the IEAC<sub>t<\/sub>, an explanation by e.g. the project manager is required for this. This also applies to the EAC<sub>\u20ac<\/sub> introduced in the previous blog.<\/p>\n<h4>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Use of the Performance Factor<\/h4>\n<p>Instead of using the SPI<sub>t<\/sub>, which reflects the performance of the whole project until the current date, the Performance Factor \u00a0could be used for future performance, in this case the following equation is used:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1590 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"59\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>PF<\/em> is the expected performance for future work.\u00a0 When <em>PF=1<\/em>, this means that you expect future work to be carried out as planned (see method 3). Otherwise, when the current performance is characteristic for the entire project so far, when <em>PF=SPI<sub>t<\/sub> <\/em>, this method equals method 1 as described above.<\/p>\n<p>By using the Performance Factor, you can choose to work with the performance of only the past periods. A strategy for determining your PF could be to look at the difference in Earned Schedule between your current period and 4 weeks ago and divide this by 4 weeks. This way, you have a Performance Factor that says more about your current performance than when you take the SPI<sub>t<\/sub> \u00a0of the whole project.<\/p>\n<h4>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Variance is not recurring<\/h4>\n<p>A special variation of using the Performance Factor is to set the Performance Factor to 1. This means that we are going to rely on future work being carried out as initially planned. Only the delay incurred so far is added to the scheduled finish date:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1591 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"493\" height=\"27\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This method may be justified when the variations that have occurred so far were so unique that they will not reflect performance in future work. \u00a0This can be the case when the work that has been carried out is completely different (e.g. in team, organization, WBS etc.) from future work.\u00a0 Or some major events or issues have occurred.<\/p>\n<p>In our example, this would mean that<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1592 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"513\" height=\"27\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule5.png 862w, https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule5-300x16.png 300w, https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_Formule5-768x42.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1585\" style=\"width: 685px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1585\" class=\"wp-image-1585 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.primanedacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EVM_03_fig2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"675\" height=\"336\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Fig. 1: Schematic representation of the different methods of forecasting with earned schedule.
