PMP formulas,

Para el examen, necesitas memorizar pero sobre todo entender las siguientes fórmulas. Debes aplicarlas en problemas de las preguntas del examen PMP.

If you’re preparing for the PMP® exam or working hands-on as a project manager, mastering these formulas is not optional—it is a must.

This visual brings together the most important PMP formulas you need to understand cost performance, schedule performance, forecasting, and communication complexity in one place. Let’s break down why this matters 👇

🔹 Earned Value Management (EVM)

Understand where your project truly stands:

. EV (Earned Value) = % Complete × BAC

. PV (Planned Value) = Planned % × BAC

. AC (Actual Cost) = Cost spent so far

These three numbers are the foundation of performance measurement.

🔹 Performance & Variance Metrics

. CV (Cost Variance) = EV − AC → Are you over or under budget?

. SV (Schedule Variance) = EV − PV → Are you ahead or behind schedule?

. CPI & SPI drive forecasting and decision-making.

🔹 Forecasting the Future

. EAC (Estimate at Completion)

. ETC (Estimate to Complete)

. VAC (Variance at Completion)
