Your current project can be summarized as:

the EV is 250,000
the AC is 300,000
the PV is 425,000

What is true about the project's schedule?



Your project is proceeding at a rate of approximately 59 percent of the originally planned rate. In this scenario, you are evaluating the schedule performance. First, you calculate the Schedule Performance Index (SPI). The SPI can be calculated using this formula:

SPI = EV / PV

In this scenario, the SPI would be calculated as SPI = 250,000 / 425,000 = .5882352, or approximately 59 percent. This means your project is proceeding at approximately 59 percent of the rate you originally planned.

All of the other options are incorrect because they do not reflect accurate statements about the project's schedule.
