Question: 1 / 885

How is Schedule Variance (SV) calculated?

SV = PV - EV

SV = EV - PV

Schedule Variance (SV) is calculated by subtracting the Planned Value (PV) from the Earned Value (EV). This calculation helps in determining whether a project is ahead of or behind the planned schedule at a specific point in time. In this case, SV = EV - PV is the correct formula.

Option A (SV = PV - EV) is incorrect as it would result in a negative value, which does not accurately represent schedule variance.

Option C (SV = AC - PV) involves comparing the Actual Cost (AC) with the Planned Value (PV) and is related to Cost Variance, not Schedule Variance.

Option D (SV = PV + EV) is also incorrect because adding PV to EV does not provide an accurate representation of the variance between the planned and earned values in the schedule.
