S-Curve

Cumulative Progress Curve

Plain English

The chart that shows spend or progress adding up over time. It usually looks like a stretched S — slow start, steep middle, slow finish. Overlaying Planned, Earned, and Spent instantly reveals if you're drifting.

Worked Example

When the Spent line rises above the Planned line, you're burning cash faster than you're building.
