Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 77

A project manager needs to determine the schedule variance (SV). The project manager's latest schedule indicates 14 units of work completed against a plan of 23 units.

What is the SV?

Answer options

• A. 322
• B. 37
• C. 9
• D. -9

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Schedule Variance (SV) is calculated as SV = Earned Value (EV) - Planned Value (PV). In this case, EV is 14 (actual work completed) and PV is 23 (planned work), resulting in an SV of 14 - 23 = -9. Options A, B, and C do not reflect the correct calculation of SV.
