analogy estimation
Estimating parameter values or attributes from similar projects in the past.
Lower cost, less time consuming, but also less accurate
This technique is often used when project details are insufficient. Also called top-down estimation, it is a rough estimate
parameter estimation
Use an algorithm to calculate cost or duration based on historical data and project parameters
Accuracy depends on the maturity of the parametric model and the reliability of the underlying data
Bottom-up estimation
Summarize the WBS layer by layer from bottom to top. Make the most specific and detailed estimate of the cost of a single work package or activity, and then summarize it.
three point estimate
The most likely cost CM. The most optimistic cost CO. The most pessimistic cost CP. Consider uncertainty and risk in estimates
Triangular distribution. Divide by 3. Beta distribution. Divide 6-definitely read the question:

The main role is to maintain the cost baseline throughout the project
Project cost control includes
Influence factors that cause cost basis changes. Ensure all change requests are processed promptly
Ensure that cost expenditures do not exceed the approved funding limit, that is, the limit allocated by time period, by WBS component, by activity, or the total project limit
Monitor cost performance and identify and analyze deviations from cost baselines. Manage changes as they actually occur
Report all approved changes and their associated costs to stakeholders. Try to keep expected cost overruns within acceptable limits
Monitor work performance against capital expenditures to prevent unapproved changes in cost or resource usage reports

Deviation analysis
Progress deviation SV=EV-PV. Difference between earned value and planned value
Cost deviation CV=EV-AC
Schedule Performance Index SPI=EV/PV.< 1.0 The completed workload does not meet the planned requirements.
>1.0 The amount of work completed exceeded plan
Cost performance index CPI = EV/AC
When the CPI is greater than 1.0, it means there is a balance in costs so far.

Estimate at Completion EAC=AC Bottom-up ETC
.Assume that ETC is completed at the budgeted unit price
EAC=.AC (BAC-EV)
Assume that ETC.EAC= BAC/PCI is completed with the current CPI
Assume that SPI and CP| affect ETC.EAC= AC [(BAC-EV)/(CPIxSPI)] at the same time
Reserve analysis. Contingency reserves. Management reserves
To-Complete Performance Index TCPI
The smaller the better.
If BAC is clearly unfeasible, consider using predicted EAC and replace BAC with approved EAC
