Calculate Cost Schedule Performance Index (CSI)
Overview of the Cost Schedule Performance Index (CSI)
The Cost Schedule Performance Index (CSI) is an automatic calculation which combines the Cost Performance Index (CPI) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) into one general metric that balances cost and schedule. By multiplying these values together, a single metric can account for a protracted schedule at a lower budget or vice versa. Project managers can use this to determine general project or task health when cost is sacrificed to drive schedule mid-project.
