PMP Formulas

Time Management

Description Formula
Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) PERT = (O + 4M + P) / 6
Early Start (ES) ES = ES of Predecessor + Duration of Predecessor
Early Finish (EF) EF = ES + Duration - 1
Late Start (LS) LS = LF - Duration + 1
Late Finish (LF) LF = LS + Duration - 1
Total Float Float = LS - ES

Cost Management

Description Formula
Cost Variance (CV) CV = EV - AC
Schedule Variance (SV) SV = EV - PV
Cost Performance Index (CPI) CPI = EV / AC
Schedule Performance Index (SPI) SPI = EV / PV
Estimate at Completion (EAC) EAC = BAC / CPI
Estimate to Complete (ETC) ETC = EAC - AC
Variance at Completion (VAC) VAC = BAC - EAC
To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI) TCPI = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC)

Procurement Management

Description Formula
Point of Total Assumption (PTA) Point of Total Assumption (PTA) = ((Ceiling Price - Target Price) / Buyer's Share Ratio) + Target Cost

Risk Management

Description Formula
Expected Monetary Value (EMV) Expected Monetary Value (EMV) = Probability * Impact

Quality Management

Description Formula
Cost of Quality (COQ) Cost of Quality (COQ) = Prevention Costs + Appraisal Costs + Failure Costs

Earned Value Management (EVM)

Description Formula
Planned Value (PV) Planned Value (PV) = Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS)
Earned Value (EV) Earned Value (EV) = Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP)
Actual Cost (AC) Actual Cost (AC) = Actual Cost of Work Performed (ACWP)

Communication Management

Description Formula
Number of Communication Channels Number of Communication Channels = n * (n - 1) / 2
