Enterprise Project Structure (EPS)

The enterprise project structure (EPS) represents the hierarchical
structure of all projects in the database. The EPS can be subdivided
into as many levels or nodes as needed to represent work at your

Project planning

of schedules such as Gantt charts to plan and subsequently report
progress within the project environment.

Resource levelling
A technique in which start and finish dates are adjusted based on
resource constraints with the goal of balancing demand for resources
with the available supply.
ADVANTAGES
We can set the multiple baseline to track the project
We can track the project actual cost, and planed cost.

We can track the earned value, planed value, actual cost of

project.
We can track schedule variance and schedule index

We can track Cost variance and Cost index

S.V= EV-PV IF <0 then behind the C.V= EV-PV IF <0 then over budget
schedule >0 then under budget
>0 then ahead of schedule =0 then on budget
=0 then on schedule
C.I = EV/PV if <1 then over budget
S.I = EV/PV if <1 then behind the >1 then under budget
schedule =1 then on budget
>1 then ahead of schedule
= 1 then on schedule
Benefits Of Baseline

A project baseline is essentially the baseline that is set for all

users who will access that particular project.

The project baseline is used for comparing to a projects dates,

cost and resourcing data.

It can also be used for earned value calculations.
