    PMP · Question 103 · Task 6: Plan and manage schedule

    A project manager is leading a project to build a new factory. The project is using a predictive lifecycle. The PM wants to ensure that the project is on schedule. The PM calculates the Schedule Variance (SV). SV = EV - PV. The SV is -$10,000. What does this mean?

    Answer options:

    A.

    The project is ahead of schedule.

    B.

    The project is behind schedule.

    C.

    The project is over budget.

    D.

    The project is under budget.

    How to approach this question

    SV < 0 = Behind.

    Full Answer

    B.The project is behind schedule.✓ Correct
    B
    Task 6 (Schedule). SV measures schedule performance in currency. Negative means you accomplished less value than planned by that date.

    Common mistakes

    Thinking SV is about cost because it has a $ sign. It's about 'Value of work done' vs 'Value of work planned'.
