How to read the numbers
- CPI (cost performance index)
- Value earned per dollar spent. Above 1.0 is under budget; below 1.0 is overspending.
- SPI (schedule performance index)
- Progress delivered against progress planned. Below 1.0 means you are behind schedule.
- EAC / VAC
- Forecast final cost at the current efficiency, and the variance against your original budget.
