What problem does it solve? Project teams often lack a structured way to measure schedule and cost performance against approved baselines, detect variances early, and route changes through formal control, leading to uncontrolled scope creep and late crisis discovery. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Earned Value Management: Calculate PV, EV, AC, SV, CV, SPI, CPI, EAC, ETC, VAC, and TCPI with defined alert thresholds (SPI/CPI < 0.85 triggers corrective action). - Integrated Change Control: Run the full CCB workflow from Change Request creation through impact evaluation, decision, and baseline updates. - Schedule, Quality, and Risk Control: Track critical path compression (Fast Tracking, Crashing), QC defect logs, and periodic Risk Register updates. - Use Case: During a weekly reporting period, compute SPI = 0.82 and CPI = 0.91, generate a performance report with the RAG status template, file a Change Request for the schedule variance, and escalate to the sponsor. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run pm-monitoring to calculate this period's EVM metrics and produce a performance report from the approved baselines in pm-planning.md.
