1. If at the end of week three of a project you discover you that SV is negative but SPI is 1.06. What does this mean?

2. What is the difference between percent complete and percent complete with gates Earned value (EV) measurement rules? What advantage does the latter have over the former?

3. Cost Variance (CV) and Cost Performance Index (CPI) can both be used to determine whether a project is on budget, under budget, or over budget at a particular point in time. What should a PM look for when reviewing CV and CPI information? What additional EVM analyses/calculations are supported by CPI?
