S-Curve: By, Nidhi Srinivas Ishita Garg Aman Singh Shubham Jain Tushar Sharma Rahul Mittal

The document discusses the S-curve, which is used in project management to represent projected resource expenditures over time. An S-curve can track actual spending against projections to see if a project is on budget and schedule. It describes typical S-curves that start slowly, ramp up during execution, and wind down at completion, as well as front-loaded and back-loaded variations. The document also mentions how to create an S-curve in Excel for project planning and tracking purposes.

Introduction
■ The S-Curve is used in project
management as a means of
representing the various
expenditures of resources over the
projected time of the project or as a
means of charting the real-time
expenditure of resources.
■ This is important to project
management in that it can be used
to monitor the project as it
progresses and compare it to the
projected S-Curve to determine
whether or the project is being
completed within the time
and budget limitations.
Status of the Project Details

■ These resources might be the cumulative cost of the project, the number of man
hours required at any given stage in the project, the expenditure of raw materials for
construction or assembly, etc.
■ Some of the most common uses of S-curves are for progress and performance
evaluation, cash flow forecasts, quantity output comparison, and schedule range of
possibilities.
■ The proposed time, man-hour and cost data are referred to as the “baseline" data.
■ Comparison of projected vs actual
Typical, Front Loaded and Back Loaded S curve

This shape is typical for most projects as they start slowly, ramp up during the
main execution phase, and then wind down again towards the project’s completion
• More resources assumed to be consumed early in the project.
• Mobilization costs and deposits will also lean toward a front-loading s-curve.
• In the back-loaded curves, most resources assumed to be consumed late in the project.
• A back loaded s-curve could indicate a large planning or design in the beginning and a reduced
construction time.
