How to Use S-Curve Analysis in Project Management

So, what is S-curve analysis in project management? This two-minute video will show you everything you need to implement S-curve analysis in your next assignment, including what an S-curve is and how S-curve analysis can help your latest project.

An S-curve is a simple graph that charts project data, like cost or man-hours worked, against time. Project managers use S-curve analysis to track project progress, giving them a solid understanding of where they need to make adjustments to improve performance.

With our visual examples, you’ll see that an S-curve analysis creates an S-shape because projects don’t usually start with full force from the start. Team members typically start by gathering data for a project, then pick up speed as they switch to executing against the plan, and eventually plateau to a project’s completion. Each phase of the project is important, but since productivity rates differ, it is important to track the progress across all phases.
