by Humphreys & Associates on May 2, 2022 last modified October 5, 2023

Project managers always have to juggle multiple projects, and keeping on top of contract performance is one of their most important tasks.

Schedule Variance may be calculated as part of a Variance Analysis Report or while monitoring an existing contract’s performance.
