Deviation of net present value (NPV)

PRINCE2 Directing a ProjectMinimizePercentage

Definition

The deviation of the planned net present value (NPV) is the difference in value between the planned baseline against the actual net present value. NPV is a method used in discounted cash flow analysis to find the sum of money representing the difference between the present value of all inflows and outflows of cash associated with the project by discounting each at a target yield.
