Earned Value Management (EVM) Calculation Plugin

This plugin provides the function of calculating evm of projects . EVM can help you to track your project progress and its status and to forecast the future performance of the project.

Current Version

4.0

Compatibility

Redmine 3.4.0 and above

Main features

• Calculate EVM
• Chart with EVM (PV,EV,AC)
• Set the baseline and show history

Baseline

If you set baseline, you can know easily how project divergence is and whether new task (issues) can be added by chart. In other words, you can see whether your estimated daily workload is over or not by chart. PV is based on your baseline. In addition, you can set calculation without baseline by options.

Additional options

• Explanation of EVM
• Chart with Project Performance (SPI,CPI,CR)
• Chart with each version
• Select past baseline
• Change the calculating basic date
• Change the level of the forecast
• Show unfinished issues

workig days

1. Excluding weekends and holidays
2. If it is only weekends or holidays, make it a working day
3. Use holidays gem -> Regional settings are set in the plugin setting page(Administration->plugins)

Example)

In Japan, May 3, May 4, May 5 are holidays

• Including weekends and holidays

Start date	Due date	Estimated time	Working day	PV per day
May 1, 2017 (Monday)	May 8, 2017 (Monday)	12 hours	3 days	4 hours

• Including only a few weekends and holidays

Start date	Due date	Estimated time	Working day	PV per day
May 1, 2017 (Monday)	May 7, 2017 (Sunday)	10 hours	2 days	5 hours

• Only weekends and holidays

Start date	Due date	Estimated time	Working day	PV per day
May 3, 2017 (Wed)	May 7, 2017 (Sunday)	20 hours	5 days	4 hours

How to calculate EVM

The below are used for EVM.

• start date
• due date (If empty, effective of version)
• estimated time (If you set it as 0, you will not get PV, CV)
• spent time

If you input these into your project, it can help you to calculate both a single issue’s EVM and whole project’s one. PV: Dividing estimated time by the days (from start date to due date(or effective date of version )) to get daily workload EV: After issues are closed, you can get EV.

Example

(1) Create an issue with:

• start date: 2015/08/01
• due date: 2015/08/03
• estimated time: 24 hours

At that time, only PV is calculated. As you have not closed the issue yet, EV equals 0. PV: Dividing estimated time: 24hours by 3 days (from start date to due date)

EVM	8/1	8/2	8/3
PV	8	16	24
EV	0	0	0
AC	0	0	0

(2) Input your spent time.

8/1: 10.0hours 8/2: 6.0hours 8/3: 8.0hours

EVM	8/1	8/2	8/3
PV	8	16	24
EV	0	0	0
AC	10	16	24

(3) After finishing the issue, close it on 8/3. EV will be calculated on 8/3.

EVM	8/1	8/2	8/3
PV	8	16	24
EV	0	0	24
AC	10	16	24

Based on these data, EVM and chart are created.

Chart

3 types of charts can be displayed. Charts are displayed using HigthChart. See below for license. It is a license that can not be used for commercial purposes. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/

Main chart

Show PV,EV,AC with baseline.Display unclosed issues according to the baseline.

Performance chart

Show SPI,CPI,CR of the days involved with PV,EV,AC

Version chart

Show PV,EV,AC of every version in the issue
