Analysis Charts
The Analysis Charts provide a pictorial view of the state of the
project. These charts can be run at any level of the project or for all
levels of the project to create a drill down effect in any WBS leg. The
four charts provide a concise overview and history of activity on the
project.

  • Performance Chart: This line graph says it all. Plotted for the duration of the project are the Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS), Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP), Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP) and the Estimate to Complete (ETC) for any given element of the project or the whole
    project itself.

    based on Budget at Complete or Estimate at Complete values over the life
    of the project to date.
