Program Manager Cost Dashboard Portlet

The Program Manager Cost Dashboard portlet displays cost and effort performance of projects belonging to a program. This portlet compares a program budget to the cost performance of its projects.

The information displayed in this portlet is also available on the Schedule & Performance and Financial Summary properties of each project.

For more information, see the Project Management User Guide and Financial Management User Guide.

The following fields display on the portlet:

Dashboard Icon

Displays an icon that links to the project dashboard.

Project

Displays the name of the project. Click a project name link to go to the properties page of the project.

Risk

Displays a stoplight based on the project risk score. The project risk score determines the color of the stoplight.

Stoplights:
Stage

Displays the stage in the project lifecycle.

Finish

Displays the finish date of the project.

Planned ROI

Displays the ratio of money gained or lost on this project relative to the amount of money invested.

Actual Cost (ACWP)

Displays the system-calculated value of actual cost of work performed (ACWP), which is the total direct cost incurred in performing work based on posted actuals.

EAC Cost

Displays the system-calculated value of estimate at completion, which is the total cost of actual work completed to date and the predicted cost of finishing the remaining work.

Projected Cost Variance

Displays the variance between the estimated plus actual cost and the baseline cost.

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Formula: (((ETC Cost + Actual Cost (ACWP)) - BAC Cost) / BAC Cost) * 100

Stoplights:

Cost Drill Down

Displays an icon that links to a page with the following portlets:

The following aggregate amounts are provided at the bottom of the page:

Project

Displays the aggregate percentages and cost amounts of projects belonging to the program. The aggregate amounts are averages for Planned ROI and Planned IRR. The aggregate amounts are sums for BAC Cost, Actual Cost (ACWP), EAC Cost, and Projected Cost Variance.

Program

Displays the program Budgeted Cost.

Source: Financial Summary properties page of the program.

Variance

Displays the difference between the program Budgeted Cost and the total EAC cost of the projects in the program.

The following fields are available for this portlet and you can add them through the configure option:

Planned NPV

Displays the net present value of the project by calculating the total cost of capital and a series of future payments and income.

Source: Financial Summary properties page of the project.

Planned Breakeven

Displays the date when the expected cash flow equals the cash outlay for the project. The breakeven date matches with the payback period.

Source: Financial Summary properties page of the project.

Planned MIRR

Displays the Modified Internal Rate of Return or the rate used to measure the attractiveness of the project.

Source: Financial summary page of the investment.

Planned Payback (Months)

Displays the number of periods (in months) needed for the sum of the expected cash flows to equal the initial cash outlay for the project.

BAC

Displays the system-calculated value of the baseline effort (actuals plus remaining ETC) at the time of the current baseline revision.

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Actuals

Displays the system-calculated value of the actual effort posted to the tasks in the project.

Projected Effort Variance

Displays the variance between EAC effort and baseline effort.

Formula: (EAC Effort – BAC Effort)

Projected Effort Variance %

Displays a stoplight indicating the projected effort variance as a percentage of BAC effort.

Formula: ((EAC Effort – BAC Effort) / BAC Effort) * 100

Stoplights:

Planned Value (BCWS)

Displays the system-calculated value of budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS) or the budgeted amount you can spend on the project in a given time. If time is not specified, either the current date for the project or the system date is used. BCWS is also referred to as the planned value (PV).

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Earned Value (BCWP)

Displays the system-calculated value of budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP). The value is calculated and recorded when you baseline a project, or when you update earned value totals. BCWP is also referred to as the earned value (EV) and represents the amount of budgeted cost (BAC) completed based on performance. Performance is measured using the Task EV Calculation method.

Cost Variance (CV)

Displays the system-calculated value of cost variance. The cost variance is the value of what is accomplished to date as opposed to what is spent to date.

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Schedule Variance (SV)

Displays the system-calculated value of schedule variance. The schedule variance is the value of what is scheduled to date as opposed to what is performed to date. A positive value indicates that the work is ahead of the baseline schedule. A negative value indicates that the work is behind the baseline schedule.

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Cost Variance %

Displays cost variance as a percentage. It is calculated as the percentage of cost variance over the amount of the budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP).

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Formula: ((BCWP – ACWP) / BCWP) * 100

Schedule Variance %

Displays schedule variance as a percentage. It is calculated as the percentage of schedule variance over the amount of the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS).

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Formula: ((BCWP – BCWS) / BCWS) *100

Cost Performance Index (CPI)

Displays the system-calculated value of cost performance index (CPI), which is an efficiency rating for work accomplished. A value greater than or equal to one indicates a favorable condition. A value of less than one indicates an unfavorable condition.

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the project.

Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

Displays the system-calculated value of schedule performance index (SPI), which is the ratio of work performed to work scheduled. A value greater than or equal to one indicates work is on schedule. A value of less than one indicates the work is behind schedule.
