Чему вы научитесь

  • Explain why estimate accuracy improves through the project lifecycle and match estimate classes to their typical accuracy ranges
  • Select an appropriate estimating approach — analogous, parametric or bottom-up — for the information available
  • Distinguish contingency reserve from management reserve and apply each correctly
  • Describe how estimates, contingency and reserves combine into a cost baseline and project budget
  • Interpret PV, EV and AC, and read CPI and SPI to judge cost and schedule health
  • Forecast cost at completion and report cost status honestly, including bad news, early
