02Methods

Five ways to project a line

Each scenario picks a method, and a figure the PM types on any line overrides it. These are the methods as the new-scenario form describes them.

ManualUse the per-line projections as entered. No method math; line overrides drive the projection.
% Completeprojected = actualCost / percentComplete. Lines with no progress entered preserve their prior projection.
Earned Value (EAC)EAC = BAC + (AC - EV). Combines budget, actuals, and physical progress into a cost-at-completion.
Committed + Remaining Budgetprojected = actuals + open commitments + any budget not yet committed. A line whose actuals and commitments already pass its budget projects to actuals + commitments.
Three-Point Estimate(optimistic + 4*likely + pessimistic) / 6. Per-line three-point inputs feed the formula.
