Task 5: Plan and manage budget and resources

A project has the following earned value metrics at the end of Month 6:<br/>- Budget at Completion (BAC): $500,000<br/>- Planned Value (PV): $300,000<br/>- Earned Value (EV): $250,000<br/>- Actual Cost (AC): $280,000<br/><br/>The project manager needs to calculate the Estimate at Completion (EAC) assuming current cost performance will continue for the remainder of the project. What is the EAC? (Round to the nearest dollar, enter numbers only)

A project has the following earned value data:<br/><br/>- Budget at Completion (BAC): $800,000<br/>- Earned Value (EV): $480,000<br/>- Actual Cost (AC): $520,000<br/><br/>Assuming current cost performance continues, what is the To Complete Performance Index (TCPI) based on BAC? (Round to two decimal places, enter numbers only)

A project manager is leading a project that requires specialized expertise that is not available within the current team. The organization has budget constraints that make hiring additional full-time staff difficult. The project timeline is tight, and the specialized work is needed soon. What should the project manager do FIRST?

A project manager is reviewing the budget performance and notices that the project is currently over budget due to higher than expected resource costs. The sponsor is concerned about cost overruns and wants to understand the future budget implications. The project is 60% complete with a CPI of 0.85. What should the project manager do FIRST?
