If the CPI of a project is 1.1 and the SPI is 0.8, what is the inference about the project?
A
It is over budget and behind schedule
B
It is under budget and ahead of schedule
C
It is under budget and behind schedule
D
It is over budget and ahead of schedule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -CPI and SPI In both of the above formulas, a value of 1.0 indicates that the project performance is on target. When CPI or SPI are greater than 1.0, this indicates better-than-planned project performance, while CPI or SPI less than 1.0 indicates poorer-than-planned project performance.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the ratio has a value higher than 1 then it indicates the project is performing well against the budget. A CPI of 1 means that the project is performing on budget. A CPI of less than 1 means that the project is over budget.

Detailed explanation-3: -Given an SPI of 1.1, the plain language definition is: for every dollar of work scheduled for completion a dollar and ten cents worth of work was completed; likewise an SPI of 0.95 would be: for every dollar of work scheduled for completion, only 95 cents worth of work was actually completed.
