EV = 14 PV = 23 SV = EV - PV SV = 14 - 23 = -9 , behind schedule. Less work’s been completed than planned by this point in time

Selected Answer: D
The formula is SV=EV-PV. If the schedule variance is positive, the project is ahead of schedule. If it is negative, the project is behind schedule. So the answer is D -9

The correct answer is: C. 9 Here's how to calculate the Schedule Variance (SV): SV = Planned Value (PV) - Earned Value (EV) We can determine the Earned Value (EV) from the information given: EV = Units of work completed = 14 The Planned Value (PV) is based on the project schedule: PV = Planned units of work = 23 Now, let's plug these values into the formula: SV = 23 (PV) - 14 (EV) = 9 Therefore, the Schedule Variance (SV) is 9 units. Interpretation: A positive SV (9) indicates the project is behind schedule. The project has completed 9 units less work than what was planned for this stage of the project.

EV = 14 PV = 23 SV = EV - PV SV = 14 - 23 = -9 , behind schedule. Less work’s been completed than planned by this point in time Negative SV means behind schedule, positive means ahead.
