What does an SPI greater than 1.0 indicate?

  1. Costs are over budget

  2. Project is behind schedule

  3. Project is ahead of schedule

  4. Costs are below budget

The correct answer is: Project is ahead of schedule

An SPI (Schedule Performance Index) greater than 1.0 indicates that the project is ahead of schedule. The Schedule Performance Index is a metric used to measure the efficiency of schedule performance on a project. An SPI value greater than 1.0 means that the project is progressing ahead of the planned schedule, as the index represents the ratio of work accomplished to the work planned to be accomplished at a specific point in time. This is a positive indication for the project as it shows that the project is progressing faster than originally anticipated.
