Project Costs by Resource Portlet

The Project Costs by Resource portlet displays cost performance amounts and variances by resource. Use the portlet to identify the resources that are over baseline from a cost standpoint.

To view this portlet, click the Costs Drill Down icon on the Program Manager Cost Dashboard Portlet.

The following fields display on the portlet:

Project

Displays the project name. Click a project name to view the project properties page.

Team Icon

Displays an icon that links to the team staff page of the project.

Resource/Role

Displays the resource or role allocated to the project. Click a resource or role to view the properties page of the resource or role.

Project Role

Displays the project role for the resource.

Resource Type

Displays the resource type (for example, labor, material, expense, or equipment).

Employment Type

Displays the employment type for the resource (for example, employee or contractor).

BAC Cost

Displays the system-calculated value of baseline at completion, which is the baseline cost at the time of the current baseline revision.

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.

ETC Cost

Displays the system-calculated value of the estimated cost to complete the project. ETC cost is the aggregated total for the remaining labor and non-labor cost to complete the project.

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.

Formula: ( (ETC Cost + Actual Cost (ACWP)) - BAC Cost )

Projected Cost Variance %

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

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

Stoplights:

• Green. The EAC cost is less than or equal to the baseline.
• Yellow. The EAC cost is between one and ten percent over the baseline.
• Red. The EAC cost is more than ten percent over the baseline.
• White. No baseline data exists.

The following fields are available for adding by configuration to this portlet.

For more information, see the Basics User Guide.

BAC

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

Actuals

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

ETC

Displays the system-calculated value of the estimated effort to complete the task.

EAC

Displays the system-calculated value of the estimated effort at completion (actuals plus remaining ETC) of the task.

Projected Effort Variance

Displays the variance between EAC effort and baseline effort.

Source: Performance properties page of the task.

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:

• Green. The EAC effort is less than or equal to the baseline.
• Yellow. The EAC effort is between one and ten percent over the baseline.
• Red. The EAC effort is more than ten percent over the baseline.
• White. No baseline data exists.
