What are drawbacks to a pure S-curve analysis?

What will be an ideal response?


S-curves do not allow troubleshooting (interpretation as to the cause of a negative or positive variance). The project may incur expenses far under what was budgeted, but solely by examining the curve, there is no way to tell if less work has been completed than planned or if some amazingly cost-effective method of completing work has been implemented. The same holds true for the opposite effect, expenses could be far above what was anticipated and instead of being ahead of schedule, the project could be in serious financial trouble. Such are the vicissitudes of S-curves.
