Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Reviewing earned value with a visual report, part of Advanced Microsoft Project.
- You already know you can compare earned value measures…to evaluate schedule and cost performance.…An earned value graph makes these comparisons easy.…Even better, it might highlight performance trends.…Earned value numbers in a table have two issues.…First, they're overwhelming.…Your eyes just start to cross.…Second, they show earned value measures…as of the current status date.…It's a snapshot in time.…
A graph of earned value over time is much easier to read.…It can also highlight trends in these measures.…So let's generate an earned value over time report.…To do that in project 2013, you go to the report tab.…Remember, in project 2010, you get to reports…on the "Project" tab.…Here on the "Report" tab, in project 2013,…go to the right end of the ribbon…and click "Visual Reports."…The report that we want is "Earned Value Over Time."…I select that in the list.…
I'm gonna keep the usage data at weeks.…All I have to do is click "View" at the bottom right.…That generates the "Earned Value Over Time Report" in excel.…
