PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
After setting the entire project to 40% complete on Oct 1, 2008 we can see that the project is behind schedule. The schedule variance of the entire project is $ (736,599) and Schedule performance index is at 0.68, which indicates that for every $1.00 spent in the project we are only getting $0.68 worth of work done. Since we do not have actual cost data, the MS Project calculates the budget is under budget by a negligible $80.

Looking at the table above, we can conclude that the project is on budget and may not need much corrective actions. The MS Project predicts that the Budget at completion at $4,453,480, which is a little more than the planned $4,449,920. There might be some cost overruns in the future due to the schedule delay. This could affect the project’s Budget at completion. The current calculation of under budget is misleading the next table (Schedule Performance) shows the project

    An Earned Value analysis reflected that the project is currently behind schedule. The schedule variance (SV) indicated a negative $565,226.34 and the scheduled performance index showed as .69. When SV is a negative number and SPI less than one, this indicates the project is behind schedule. After calculating the CPI/SPI value (1/.69= 1.45), any values above 1.3 should be investigated immediately, because those numbers are much too good to be true. In addition based on the Work Breakdown Structure the total duration was 6 days behind schedule. The new completion date in the WBS also indicates that the schedule completion date currently is 10days behind schedule.…

    Course Project Draft Comcast Portfolio Management Plan Project Comcast is one of the United States leading telecommunications companies operating today. Currently, Comcast serves 22.9 million cable customers, 16.7 million high-speed Internet customers, and 8.4 million telephone services customers. In 1963, Ralph J. Roberts founded the company originally branded as American Cable Systems in Tupelo, MS. In 1969 the company was renamed Comcast Corporation. The name blends the words communications and broadcast. From the late 1960s and into the late 1990s, Comcast Corporation had acquired, developed or invested in multiple companies that include QVC, Storer Communications, American Cellular Network Corporation, Metrophone, US Cable Operations, The Golf Channel, and the E.W. Scripps Cable Systems. In 1996 Comcast launched its first high speed Internet option. In 2000 Comcast acquired new customers in multiple states from Adelphia Cable Systems and ATT Broadband. Later in 2002 Comcast and ATT Broadband completed a merger. Comcast was one of the first cable companies to offer high definition and video on demand television services, also in 2002. In 2005 Comcast started to offer digital voice telephone services. Since the initial telephone service was offered, Comcast has grown into the third largest provider of home telephone service. Comcast and GE brokered an agreement that would give a controlling share and management duties of NBC Universal in 2009. NBC Universal is a worldwide entertainment company and has a diverse portfolio that includes multiple television networks, motion picture companies and amusement parks. Comcast Corporation owns the NHL team Philadelphia Flyers and the NBA team Philadelphia 76ers as well as the arena where both play, Wells Fargo Center. Comcast also owns Fandango, a movie information company. Comcast Corporation is the main tenant of the Comcast Center.

    My simulation scores show the area of most need for improvement in the areas of cost projecting and financial decision making. While working on the project in the beginning. I do not believe that I spent enough time with the work breakdown schedule and the project charter, as the project was behind schedule for the full duration of the project life cycle requiring multiple revisits to request further funds to cover project costs. It will be in my best interest in future projects to familiarize myself fully before determining financial…
