'Einstein's Percent Complete'

摘要

Projects controls' invisible hand has guided modern man's greatest ideas from concept to application. Although project controls does not invent or implement projects, it does make such projects possible by holding down costs, delivering faster schedules, and anticipating challenges before they become problems. Project controls' continual emphasis on gauging incremental progress (percent complete and earned value) empowers the project manager (PM) to focus limited resources toward achieving objectives. Earned value analysis begins with a calculation of BCWP (budgeted cost of work performed). In its simplest form, it is calculated by multiplying the approved baseline budget by the percent complete. The baseline budget is usually constant; the percent complete is variable.
