Brain Dump Sheet compiled by
Earned Value CV = EV-AC CPI = EV/AC
SV = EV-PV SPI = EV/PV
Estimate At Completion
Fundamentally Flawed: EAC = AC + ETC (estimate to complete)
Variances are atypical: EAC = AC + BAC – EV
Variances are typical: EAC = AC + ((BAC – EV) / CPI)
Estimate to Complete
Variances are atypical ETC = EAC – AC
Variance at Completion VAC = BAC – EAC (Budget – Estimate = Variance)
Percent Complete %complete = EV / BAC (e.g. 60 / 100 = 60%)
Present Value PV= FV / (1+i)n
PV = Future Value / 1.xx% / 1.xx%
/ 1.xx% etc.
Communication Links Links = people * (people -1) / 2

PERT
Standard deviation Pessimistic - optimistic / 6 [largest -smallest / 6]
Weighted average (Optimistic + (4xmost likely) + Pessimistic) / 6
Motivational Behavioral Theories:
McGregor: Theory X = frown face, Theory Y = smiley face
Maslow Pyramid: Physiological need, security, social, self esteem, self-actualization
Herzberg: Hygiene will not increase motivation. Opportunity to succeed will.
Triple Constraint: TMQ – Time, Money, Quality (or schedule, cost, quality)
Cr0sby = Zer0 defects.
4 absolutes of quality: conformance, prevention,
performance, measurement
Juran = Fitness for use

I cannot guarantee that all the formulas are correct.
I believe that it is more valuable to a student to compile their own sheet than to use one from someone else. The act of compiling it is what makes it valuable.
