What is the formula to find the schedule performance index?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The schedule performance index shows how well the project is performing on schedule.

It is found by dividing the earned value by the

planned value.

Schedule variance (SV) is a measure of schedule performance on a project. The variance notifies that

the schedule is ahead or behind what

was planned for this period in time. The schedule variance is calculated based on the following

formula:

SV = Earned Value (EV) - Planned Value (PV)

If the resulting schedule is negative, it indicates that the project is behind schedule. A value greater

than 0 shows that the project is ahead of

the planned schedule. A value of 0 indicates that the project is right on target.

Answer option D is incorrect. EV-AC is the project's cost variance.

Answer option B is incorrect. EV/AC is the project's cost performance index.

Answer option A is incorrect. EV-PV is the project's schedule variance.

I thought it was something else, this is surprising!

Nope, it's EV/AC for cost performance, not schedule.

I feel like I saw a similar question in our last mock exam, and it was definitely about EV and PV. I think C is the right choice!

I keep mixing up the formulas for SPI and CPI. I hope I remember correctly that SPI is EV/PV.

I remember practicing a question where we had to calculate SPI, and I think it was EV divided by PV. So, I would go with option C.

I think the schedule performance index is related to earned value, but I'm not completely sure if it's EV/PV or something else.

This sounds like a question about disaster recovery and business continuity planning. I'll need to think through the key differences between the types of backup sites to determine the right answer.

Type I hypervisors are the bare-metal ones, right? I think that's the key distinction, so I'll select option A.

Okay, let me think this through. I believe the correct sequence is to copy the image, hash the original, hash the copy, and then compare the hashes. That would be option C.
