your <a href=\"http:\/\/project-management.info\/estimating-project-cost\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">project cost<\/a> and performance deviate from the planned progress. It will tell you to which extent the cost variance needs to be adjusted which implies either a reduction of the cost incurred over the course of the project or an increase of earned value. While the calculation of the TCPI is comparatively simple, the implementation of subsequent measures in the project cost management can be challenging. For further details on the use of the TCPI in earned value management, you can refer to this conference paper (see Scott, W. J. (2012). TCPI: the tower of power.
