Project Management (PMP) — Hard

A project manager is calculating the To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI) based on BAC. The project has BAC = $500,000, EV = $200,000, and AC = $250,000. What is the TCPI?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI) based on the Budget at Completion (BAC), the formula is TCPI = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC). Given BAC = $500,000, EV = $200,000, and AC = $250,000, the TCPI is 1.20. This is because the remaining work requires more efficient use of resources. Incorrect options misinterpret the formula's outcome.
