To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI)

The cost efficiency required on remaining work to meet a target: TCPI = (BAC - EV) / (BAC - AC), or (BAC - EV) / (EAC - AC).

Definition

TCPI above 1.0 means the team must perform more efficiently than planned to finish on budget. Use the EAC version when a new EAC has been approved.

Example

BAC $100k, EV $40k, AC $50k: TCPI = 60/50 = 1.2.

Exam tip

Work remaining divided by funds remaining; higher than 1 is harder.
