What is s curve in project.?

Question

Accepted Answer

S curve is a graphical representation of project progress over time.

S curve shows the planned progress, actual progress, and forecasted progress of a project.
It helps in tracking the project's performance and identifying any deviations from the plan.
The curve is named after its S-shape, which is formed due to the slow start, rapid progress, and slow finish of a project.
S curve is commonly used in construction, engineering, and manufacturing industries.
Example: If a project is planned to be completed in 12 months, the S curve will show the expected progress at each month-end, and the actual progress achieved.
If the actual progress is slower than planned, the curve will show a deviation from the planned progress.
If the actual progress is faster than planned, the curve will show a positive deviation from the planned progress.
