The Budget Variance is a key performance indicator (KPI) used in capital program management. It calculates the gap between anticipated and actual expenses, assisting businesses in finding disparities and swiftly addressing them. This KPI is shown in real time on dashboards, which helps project managers keep tabs on expenses and avoid going over budget.

Cost Performance Index (CPI) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

SPI and CPI are essential KPIs for assessing the effectiveness of projects. Whereas the Schedule Performance Index gauges how quickly work is completed, the Cost Performance Index evaluates how cost-effectively completed work compares to the budgeted amount. Both KPIs are essential for assessing the health of a project and are often shown on dashboards to educate stakeholders.
