Monitor Project Performance

You can monitor project performance using the Project Dashboard page. You can view summary views of project labor and team utilization data in graph and table formats on this page. The data on this page is read-only. Dashboard data is drawn from the information you enter in the task and resource assignment fields, and on data submitted in staff member timesheets. It is automatically updated when you add or post new information to the project.

By default, this page displays the following portlets:

• General portlet. This read-only view displays basic information about the project such as name, ID, and start and finish dates. The icon in the Status Indicator field displays the project's status.
• Labor Resource Effort portlet. This view displays the project's up-to-date actuals, ETC, and allocation information.
• Team Utilization portlet. This view displays total effort per resource across all of the project's tasks to which the resource is assigned. You can drill down from this view to view utilization by individual resource and task.

You can use these portlets to view resource allocation and availability information and to compare actuals to estimates. Though you cannot change the appearance or data in the General and Labor Resource Effort portlets, you can configure some of the settings on the Team Utilization graph.

You can customize this page by adding or removing portlets. Your CA Clarity PPM administrator can do this from the Project Default Layout portlet page's Dashboard tab’s content using Studio.
