In this module, learners move from calculating core metrics to analyzing project efficiency using two key performance indices: the Cost Performance Index (CPI) and the Schedule Performance Index (SPI). These indicators reveal how efficiently a project is using its budget and time compared with the original plan. Through guided examples and hands-on practice, learners will calculate CPI and SPI from real project data, interpret what the results mean, and use these insights to describe overall project health. By the end of the module, learners will be able to turn data into clear, evidence-based assessments that support project control and stakeholder communication.

An analysis only adds value when it drives meaningful action. In this final module, you will move from interpreting data to applying it. You will learn how to use your performance diagnosis—based on CPI and SPI—to develop a clear, specific, and evidence-based recommendation that can inform project decisions and corrective actions. You will practice converting quantitative findings into strategic decisions, aligning with the PMI PMBOK Guide’s Monitor and Control Project Work and Perform Integrated Change Control processes. By the end of this module, you will have the confidence to communicate performance insights and recommend data-driven adjustments to improve project outcomes.
