Earned Schedule (Burn down chart)

Success Problem

The residual works or cost at given control mileston often differ from the values planned.

Impact

Earned Schedule (or Burn down Schedule, Burn down hart) iinforms about the project delay (lost time) or lead time at the control date.

Recommendation

Compute the earned schedule in the earned value method as a date „t“, in which the earned value was planned to produce. This is the point „t“ on the S-curve of the budgeted costs of work scheduled, where these cost are equal to the budgeted costs of work performed. It is possible to get particular time data only by the means of the project sche-dule actualization and its comparison with the project schedule baseline. After that it is necessary to update the remaining part of the project bar chart in order to detect, how can be the divergence eliminated or used.
