you are managing two projects from a single Business Unit. The two projects are regarded as strategically beneficial and are equally important to your organisation and are both $85\%$ complete. The project director has requested earned value data on these two concurrent projects from you. You provide the following information to your director:

Project A:

PV: $1,900,000$

EV: $2,400,000$

AC: $2,100,000$

Project B:

PV: $2,100,000$

EV: $1,600,000$

AC: $1,700,000$

After reviewing the data provided to him, the project director considers to shift some resources from project A to project B to speed up the second project which is currently behind schedule.
