What is Schedule Variance and how to calculate it?

What is Schedule Variance?

Schedule Variance in short (SV) is a measure of schedule performance expressed as the difference between the earned value and the planned value.

Formula used to calculate SV = EV – PV

The amount by which the project is ahead or behind the planned delivery date, at a given point in time, expressed as the difference between the earned value and the planned value.

The difference between the work completed to a point in time, usually the data date, and the work planned to be completed to the same point in time

Before you calculate make sure to find out what is the Earned Value and Planned value 🙂
