What is a performance index?
A performance index is a metric used to evaluate the efficiency or effectiveness of a process, project, or investment, often by comparing actual results to expected results.
What does a performance index show?
A performance index shows how well a process or project is performing relative to planned expectations. It helps in assessing whether the project is on schedule and within budget.
What is a good performance index score?
A performance index score of 1.0 or above is generally considered good. In project management, an SPI or CPI of 1.0 indicates that the project is on schedule and within budget.
How do you calculate a performance index?
A performance index can be calculated using specific formulas depending on the context. For example, in project management, the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) is calculated as SPI = EV / PV, and the Cost Performance Index (CPI) as CPI = EV / AC, where EV is Earned Value, PV is Planned Value, and AC is Actual Cost.
