Project Cumulative Cost Data

Put your Organization Name Here

Instructions: Before you enter any data, do the following: - Determine the total cost of each project phase - Determine the number of reporting periods that each project phase will last (e.g. 3 months) - Determine (or guestimate) the percent of cost that will occur during each reporting period for each phase To enter planned project values (note: all data entry cells are white): 1. Enter project name in the space provided 2. Enter reporting periods in cells D4 through AA4 (e.g. weeks, months or quarters as dates (shown) or month1, month2, etc.) 3. Enter cost of each project phase under Planned Phase Costs 4. Enter the % of phase cost planned for each Reporting Period in the white cells provided. (see Initiation and Planning for an example of how this is done). Leave unused cells blank. Planned cost per period displays above the % you entered. Cells in column AB will be red until the total percent for the project phase equals 100%. 5. Enter time unit of the project. This is "Months" in the example. This is used as a label on the chart in the next tab. 6. Planned cost per reporting period display in the 'Budgeted Cost per Reporting Period" line 7. Planned Cumulative Cost displays in the "Cumulative Planned Cost" line 8. Enter Actual Costs per reporting period as the data become available. The cumulative actual cost will display in the Cumulative Actual Cost line. It is normal for the last correct cumulative cost figure to repeat through all succeeding months. Do NOT delete these numbers! 9. Modify the graph in the Cumulative Cost Curve tab as explained on that sheet When should you use this template: - Use this template when you need a Cumulative Cost Curve and you have a good idea of how your costs will be broken out over the course of your project. - This template is useful for projects that last between 4 and 24 reporting periods and where roug h estimates of cost per reporting period are adequate. - See companion document "CumulativeCostCurve_Percent_SampleData.xls" to see what a completed project looks like.

- Click Actual Cost and then in the Values box change "Raw data" to inlcude the latest column in which you have Actual C the example we have Actual data for 3 months, so the last Actual data is in Column F. The value for Raw Data should be ='Raw Data'!$D$30:$F$30
