Core Features

WBS Process view screenshots

Once the user has entered WBS information down through the Work/Planning Package Level, this tool flows the WBS information to the lower levels of the schedule. This is an excellent way to establish an initial WBS or to ensure the WBS for all schedule tasks is correct after the schedule has been changed, i.e. after a baseline revision. Once processing is complete, the user can generate a file to import the WBS data as it appears in Microsoft Project into Cost Management software.

Estimates/Reports view screenshots

This tool extracts cost information from your Microsoft Project file and generates total project or customized Baseline or ETC Estimates reports in Microsoft Excel format. The user can also have that same cost data extracted and formatted for import into Cost Management software like MPM. Monthly data is gathered in monthly “buckets” according to a user-defined accounting calendar. The user can choose report data to be presented in weekly or monthly format.

EVM Analysis view screenshots

This tool reviews the cost data and WBS data in the schedule file and reports the breakdown of baseline labor hours and dollars by Earned Value Method or Technique. It also shows a similar breakdown of baseline labor and dollars that remain to be claimed as BCWP. The report is generated in Microsoft Excel format.

Process BCWP view screenshots

This tool calculates BCWS and BCWP from schedule status user inputs, then creates and applies a view in Microsoft Project to display Inception-to-date BCWS, BCWP, SV, and SPI. If the user chooses, the tool also generates BCWP and EV Milestones data for import into Cost Management software like MPM.

EVM Integrity view screenshots

This tool performs up to nine separate analyses to verify your schedule file’s data conforms to standards that support proper operation of other SDSI EV Analysis tools and also demonstrate adherence to local data entry standards or guidelines put in effect by the user organization. Potential issues or nonconformance are presented in Microsoft Excel format.

Baseline Rollup view screenshots

This tool recreates and assures time-phased alignment of baseline values and totals throughout the WBS at all levels. It neither requires nor makes changes to ETC data. An excellent tool for processing baseline revision of selected tasks or to re-align the baseline without changing to ETC values as Microsoft Project’s baseline function would do.
