ETC Various formulas vs 2 formulas in PMBOK (& Rita)
Submitted by strua on Mon, 04/07/2014 - 03:03
Hello All,
In PMBOK the following two formulas are provided with regards to ETC calculation:
1. Re-estimate
2. EAC-AC
However in various (free tests - ie. pmprepcast) i have found that the following formulas are used (in addition to the above):
ETC (atypical) = BAC-EV
ETC (typical) = (BAC-EV)/CPI
During my prep for the exam, whenever I am in doubt I always refer to PMBOK. Since PMBOK does not have the above two formulas explicitly mentioned, (although I know that they can be derived from EAC formulas), should I know them for the exam?
Thanks,

yes, you need to know these
yes, you need to know these formulas. Real exam does have questions on typical and atypical variance.
