CAM: _________________________________Team Name: ______________________
“Sam the CAM is on the Lam” Sam the CAM won the lotto over the weekend and called in Monday from a 737 MAX to report he was on a flight to Fiji (oh-oh, has his luck finally run out?).

The Customer is also claiming that because you are behind schedule and on the (assume Critical Path TF is -60d), that concerns about further time delays are relevant. Your analyst has generated the below CPI/TCPI chart (below) so that you can see the CPI and TCPI trend relationship in conjunction with the current month’s CA data. |
HINT: calculate all relevant EVM performance formulas for starters so you can assess the entire EVM data picture! (Use the same units for all formulae)
