Which of the following measures would a project manager use to assess the team's progress against the project schedule?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is a project management technique used to measure project performance and progress. It integrates project scope, time, and cost data to provide accurate forecasts of project performance.

Planned Value (PV): The estimated value of work planned to be done.

Earned Value (EV): The value of work actually completed.

Actual Cost (AC): The actual cost incurred for the completed work.

Using these metrics, EVA can help project managers assess whether they are ahead or behind schedule and within or over budget.

Wait, COCOMO H Model? Isn't that more for estimating costs?

COCOMO H Model sounds familiar, but I don't think it’s used for tracking schedule progress. I’m leaning towards option B.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think earned value analysis was definitely the right choice for assessing progress.

I feel like function point metrics were mentioned in our last class, but I can't recall how they relate to project schedules.

I think I remember something about earned value analysis being a key method for tracking progress, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the only one.
