Variation Analysis
Expert analysis of project variations including Scope, Time, and Cost to identify causal relationships and quantify impacts.
Projects often experience changes that affect Scope, Time, or Cost. These impacts may arise from design revisions, procurement delays, site conditions, coordination issues, contract changes, or execution constraints.
Stoneboy provides structured variation analysis to help project teams understand the cause-and-effect relationship between project events and their resulting impacts. Our approach supports clearer documentation, improved decision-making, change assessment, and effective resolution of schedule and cost-related issues.
Types of Variation Analysis
- Scope Variation Analysis (SVA) - Study of variations in Scope
- Time Variation Analysis (TVA) - Study of variations in Time (delays or acceleration)
- Cost Variation Analysis (CVA) - Study of variations in Cost
Time Variation Analysis (TVA)
TVA can be performed in three ways:
Retrospective
Sum up the effects of past variations on the project's schedule
Contemporaneous
Report the ongoing variations, and their effects on the project's schedule
Prospective
Predicting the effects of future variations on the project's schedule
