Schedule Performance Index (SPI) overview

What the SPI聽value shows what-the-spi-value-shows

Project managers understand that a SPI聽value of 1 means the project is on plan or on schedule. 聽Values greater than 1 indicate a project is ahead of schedule, and values less than 1 mean a project is behind schedule. 聽The further from 1, the greater deviation from the plan.

How Workfront calculates SPI how-workfront-calculates-spi

Workfront calculates SPI by the following formula:

SPI = (Total Planned Hours x % Complete) / Planned Hours Scheduled to Date*

*If Planned Hours Scheduled to Date = 0, SPI = 1.

Planned Hours Schedule to Date are calculated at the minute when you perform聽the calculations. It shows the number of Planned Hours planned to the current date.聽It can be recalculated automatically when you change your finance data to be accurate. There is no聽field in Workfront that indicates聽this value.

For example, if you have a project with 1 task and the task has 10 planned hours and a 10-day Duration, the Planned Hours Schedule to Date on the 5th day are聽5.
