Synopsis: This topic discusses two different methods of calculating Estimate at completion adopted by two different software; seamless reporting of EAC is essential. Differences between software on how Estimate at Completion (EAC) is calculated at a project level can confuse and mislead project management professionals, especially if these differences result in extreme project performance indicator variances from one software to another. 

1. Adding up EAC for all control accounts on a project, at their appropriate levels to generate the EAC of the project.
2. Adding up Actual costs and Earned Value for all control accounts on a project at their appropriate levels, calculating the project’s Cost Performance Index (CPI), and using this CPI to calculate EAC.
