When calculating Estimate at Completion or in short 'EAC', in a scenario when things are not quite going to plan but you still DO need to stick to a deadline,
you need to consider both CPI and SPI. In this case take note of the
square brackets (or [...]) in the formula. This is the only instance
(among the 50 or so other formulas you will need to know for the exam)
where you officially need to apply square brackets.
