What does an SPI less than 1.0 indicate?

  1. Costs are below budget

  2. A project is behind schedule

  3. Costs are over budget

  4. Project is ahead of schedule

The correct answer is: A project is behind schedule

An SPI (Schedule Performance Index) less than 1.0 indicates that a project is behind schedule. The SPI is a measure of the project's progress in terms of the work completed compared to the work planned at a specific point in time. If the SPI is less than 1.0, it means that the project is not progressing as planned and is falling behind schedule. Therefore, option B is the correct answer in this case. Costs being below or over budget are related to the Cost Performance Index (CPI), not the Schedule Performance Index (SPI). An SPI greater than 1.0 would indicate that a project is ahead of schedule, not behind schedule.
