S- Curve
S- Curve
* One of the most important planning and
control tool is the “S” Curve which shows
value of work done. Value of work done is
the best measure of progress.
* Once the contract has been awarded, it is a
fairly simple matter to estimate the “value”
or expenditure on each activity shown on a
detailed bar chart.S- Curve
* By analyzing the nature of ea ty, one
can estimate the way in which this value
will be distributed on, say, a monthly basis.
* These amounts may then be summed to
give the total estimated monthly value, and
the figures plotted in graphic form.
How to Construct the “S Curve”
+ it is weil known that the rate at which
useful work is done is slower at the
beginning and end of a project than in
the middle, and thus these curves have a
characteristic “S” shape.i RR
