2. Which of the two components are underperforming according to the plan
Which of the two components are underperforming according to the plan? How do you know this?
Technical Infrastructure is both behind schedule and over budget as indicated by the SPI (94.4%), Control Ratio (< .9) and CPI (91.7%)
Schedule
184
Over/Under
184*.974 = 11 Days
Estimated Project Duration
195 Days
Over Budget
Under
Performing

3. Are the components of the project within budget? How do you know?
Software is within budget, technical is over budget by $85,410 based on EAC.

4. What can you conclude by looking at the combined earned value data for the project?
The projects when combined appear on track to be completed $64k under budget and 6 days early
Viewing as a consolidate projected can distort the true picture. Using this view Terry Baker would easily been led to believe the projects were on budget and on time.

5. What should Martin have done earlier in the project timeline to prevent delays?
Reporting Earned Value and reviewing critical path project tasks independently of the project as a whole, Martin would have visibility to these problems earlier.
With earlier visibility shifting resources from Software to Technical Infrastructure may have been possible.

6. What should Martin do when managing future projects to prevent similar problems from developing?
Tighter monitoring and control of project
Enhanced communication plan
Dedicated Staff (full review of any resource constraints and changes)
Order Hardware Earlier
Begin testing Earlier
Setup system access security up front
