Results Pane of the Analyze Form
The Results pane shows many columns of data for the project you are analyzing. Some of the columns are color-coded based on thresholds that are defined in the Code and Resource files.
The Results pane shows the following columns.
Column | Description |
---|---|
Selection | This column indicates whether a code contains child codes, and whether the child codes are expanded on the display. If this column is blank for a particular code, then that code has no child codes. If this column displays the plus (+) sign for a particular code, then that code has unexpanded child codes. If this column displays the minus (-) sign for a particular code, then that code has expanded child codes. |
Code | This column displays each code used in the project analysis. |
Description | This columns contains a brief description of the code. |
Start Date | This column displays the start date for the work represented by the code. |
Finish Date | This column displays the finish date for the work represented by the code. |
CV | This column displays the cost variance (CV) associated with the code. The formula used is Earned - Actuals. If the CV exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays the value in this field against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive CV. A red background indicates a negative CV. |
SV | This column displays the schedule variance (SV) associated with the code. The formula used is Earned - Budget. If the SV exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays the value in this field against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive SV. A red background indicates a negative SV. |
Budget | This column displays the budgeted cost of work scheduled for the code. |
Actuals | This column displays the actual cost of work performed for the code. |
Earned | This column displays the budgeted cost of work performed for the code. |
Budget At Complete | This column displays the budget at complete for the code. |
SPI | This column displays the SPI (schedule performance index) for the code. The formula used is Earned / Budget. |
CPI | This column displays the CPI (cost performance index) for the code. The formula used is Earned / Actuals . |
EAC | This column displays the Forecast for the code. |
VAC | This column displays the VAC (variance at complete) for the code. The formula used is BAC - EAC. If the VAC exceeds the threshold, Cobra displays this value against a colored background. A green background indicates a positive variance. A red background indicates a negative variance. |
