Project Schedule Data
1. Using the cost data in the cost table above, create a cumulative cost curve comparing actual versus planned costs (Note: with the cumulative cost curve
– also called the S-curve – you must cumulate the cost data. See More Info,
Module 3, p. 53.)
2. Using the schedule data in the schedule table above, create a Gantt chart comparing actual versus planned schedule performance
3. Summarize in words what you see project status to be at this time. What do you predict regarding the final cost and final schedule for the project? Note, by looking at the schedule and cost day simultaneously, you are engaging in integrated cost/schedule control.
