Which component is underperforming? • Technical Infrastructure • Cost variance – ($75,500) • Schedule variance – ($110,000)
Components within budget? • Software Customization – YES • Positive cost variance – $159,500 • Cost performance index > 1
Components within budget? (cont.) • Technical Infrastructure – NO • Negative cost variance – ($75,500) • Cost performance index < 1
Combined earned value data for the project • Misleading • Project appears to be on schedule/within budget • Software Customization is ahead of schedule and budget offsetting technical infrastructure deficiencies
Combined earned value data for the project (cont.) • Misleading • Project appears to be on schedule/within budget • Software Customization is ahead of schedule and budget offsetting technical infrastructure deficiencies
Terry Baker • Vague Gantt chart being used as primary management tool • Did not take costs into account • Metrics not gathered throughout project • Only requested when problem appeared (i.e., over budget and behind schedule) • Looking at project from a very high level
How much longer will the project take? • Technical infrastructure portion of project appears to be approximately 6% behind schedule (as of September) • ~8 additional days required
What should Martin have done earlier to prevent delays? • Gather ratios on different aspects of project earlier • Proactive approach rather than reactive approach • Better recognition of potential problems • Management of resources • Delay in Sun server equipment • System testing and development scheduled late
What should Martin do in the future to prevent similar issues? • Plan for gathering data to produce metrics at key milestones within project • Avoid using only Gantt chart to manage project • Create more detailed project timeline • Critical path management • Better resource management
