  • Key Concepts: Cost Performance Index (CPI) is a metric used in project management to measure the efficiency of a project’s performance.

CPI is used to measure the progress of a project and to determine if it is on track to meet its budget and timeline goals.
    How to use it: CPI can be used to measure the progress of a project and to determine if it is on track to meet its budget and timeline goals.
