Graphic Reports

Graphic reports provide important information about the project in graphs.

You can generate the following Graphic reports:

  • SV-CV: Use this report to view the schedule and cost variances by criteria for the project. This report also displays a graph where the schedule variance (SV) and cost variance (CV) values are plotted by time-phased period.
  • Curve: Use this report to view the budget, actual, earned, forecast, and ETC by the selected criteria for the project. This report also displays a graph where these cost set values are plotted by time-phased period. In addition, you can add or substitute other cost sets in this report by selecting different cost sets.
  • SV vs CV: Use this report to view the SV and CV values time-phased by the selected criteria for the project. This report also contains a graph where these variances are plotted by time-phased period. The graph plots the intersection of the schedule variance and cost variance. The Schedule variance is represented on the Y axis and the Cost variance is represented on the X axis. The intersection of them both creates the plot mark on the scatter graph.
  • TCPI: Use this report to view the performance indicators by time-phased period. This report also displays a graph where the Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), To Complete Performance Index Estimate-at-Completion (TCPIeac), and To Complete Performance Index Budget-at-Completion (TCPIbac) values are plotted by time-phased period.
  • SPI-CPI: Use this report to view the schedule and cost indices by criteria for the project. This report also displays a graph where the SPI and CPI values are plotted by time-phased period.
  • Histogram: Use this report to view both the incremental budget and cumulative budget, actual, earned, forecast, and Estimate-to-Complete (ETC) by the selected criteria for the project. This report also displays a graph where these cost set values are plotted by time-phased period on two vertical axes, with one axis representing period incremental values and the other representing cumulative values. In addition, other cost sets can be added or substituted to this report by selecting different cost sets.
    Note: The histogram report is the same as a curve report except that the histogram report also displays both cumulative and by-period data.
