EAC (provide two possible values. Show the formulas you use in calculating each) 4. You have prepared an initial estimate of $2,000,000 to develop a software application for your organization. However, after you think about it a while, you vaguely remember from an old course you took at UMUC that estimates aren’t the same as reality. So, you do a bit more analysis and come up with the following table. How much reserve should you add to your initial estimate in order to have a 90% chance of success? Activity Most Likely Optimistic Pessimistic Labor $1,000,000 $800,000 $1,500,000 Commercial SW and Licenses $500,000 $450,000 $550,000 Subcontracts $500,000 $450,000 $600,000 The estimates include all applicable burdens. All activities have assumed a triangular distribution. You may use any method you require, but show your work in an attachment. 5. You are preparing a project to lay fiber optic cable. The first task is to mobilize the team. You estimate this will take one week and cost $3000. The second task is to lay the cable. This will take three weeks and will cost $45,000. The total length of the cable is 15 miles. The last task, which will take one week, is to terminate and test the cable. You budget $5000 for this. At the end of the first week, you have completed mobilization, but it cost a total of $4500. At the end of the third week, you have completed five miles of cable at a total cost of $28,000 (installation only). It takes you a total of 10 weeks to complete the entire project, for a total cost of $65,000. a. At the end of week 1: i. What is your SPI? ii. What is your CPI? iii. What is your EAC? b. At the end of week 3: i. What is your SPI? ii. What is your CPI? iii. What is your EAC? c. At the end of the project: i. What is your SPI? ii. What is your CPI? iii. What is your EAC?
