During month 6, you conduct an earned value analysis and discover that the Cost Performance Index (CPI) is 0.85 and the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) is 0.92. The project sponsor asks you to forecast the final project cost and determine what actions are needed. Using the current performance trends, what is the most appropriate estimate at completion (EAC) if you believe current variances are atypical and future work will be performed at the planned rate?
