Question

You have been serving as Electroscan's project manager and are now well along in the project. Develop a narrative status report for the board of directors of the chain store that discusses the status of the project to date and at completion. Be as specific as you can using numbers given (see attachment) and those you might develop. Remember, your audience is not familiar with the jargon used by project managers and computer software personnel; therefore, some explanation may be necessary. Your report will be evaluated on your detailed use of data, your total perspective of the current status and future status of the project, and your recommended changes (if any).

Explanation / Answer

The budgeted cost (BAC) of the project is 915, and the EV is 395. Which indicates that roughly 43% (=395/915) of the project work is completed.

SV and CV for the project are negative, indicating that the project is behind schedule as well as over budget.

EAC is 1103, which means that the whole project is going to cost 1103 when completed. So the project will exceed the budgeted cost of 915 at completion.

Except Hardware, all the parts of the project are over budget. However, Utilities and System Integration are ahead of schedule going by their positive SV.
