Program Manager Schedule Dashboard Portlet

The Program Manager Schedule Dashboard portlet displays schedule performance of a program and projects belonging to the program.

The following fields display on the portlet:

Properties Icon

Displays an icon that links to the properties page of the program or project.

Program/Project

Displays the program or project name. Click a program or project link to open the program or project dashboard.

Start

Displays the start date of the program or project.

Finish

Displays the finish date of the program or project.

Overall Status

Displays a stoplight indicating the overall status of each program or project, based on the status report with the most recent report date and a report status of final or no value selected.

Stoplights:

• Green. The program or project is on track.
• Yellow. The program or project has a minor variance.
• Red. The program or project has a significant variance.
• White. The program or project status is undefined.

Schedule %

Displays a stoplight indicating days late as a percentage of the program or project timeframe, which is finish date minus start date. The calculation takes into account the program or project progress and baseline (if a baseline exists). The color of the stoplight indicates if the program or project is on schedule or late.

Stoplights:

• Green. The program or project is ahead of schedule or on schedule.
• Yellow. The program or project is between one and ten percent late.
• Red. The program or project is more than ten percent late.
• White. The schedule % is undefined.

Days Late

Displays the number of days late considering the following:

• Whether or not a baseline exists
• Program or project progress

If a baseline exists, then days late is calculated as project finish date minus baseline finish date. A positive number indicates that the project is late according to the baseline. A negative number indicates that it is early according to the baseline.

If a baseline exists and the project finish date is the same as the baseline finish date, then the project is considered late if it is not completed and it was due before today’s date. In this case, days late is calculated as today’s date minus project finish date.

If there is no baseline, then days late is calculated if the program or project is not completed and it was due before today’s date. In this case, days late is calculated as today’s date minus program or project finish date.

Gantt Schedule

Displays a Gantt chart comparing the program finish date with the schedules of associated projects. The color of the Gantt bars is based on the Schedule % as follows:

• Green. The program or project is ahead of schedule or on schedule.
• Yellow. The program or project is between one and ten percent late.
• Red. The program or project is more than ten percent late.
• White. The schedule % is undefined.

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

See the Personalizing CA Clarity PPM User Guide for more information.

Baseline Start

Displays the baseline start date of the project.

Baseline Finish

Displays the baseline finish date of the project.

Project Manager

Displays the program or project manager.

Days Late %

Displays days late as a percentage of the program or project timeframe, which is the finish date minus the start date. The calculation takes into account the program or project progress and baseline (if a baseline exists). The days late percentage shows the proportion by which a program or project is late. One day late in a six-month program or project does not have the same impact as one day late in a one year program or project.

Schedule

Displays a stoplight indicating the number of days a program or project is late, considering the program or project progress and whether or not a baseline exists for the project. The color of the stoplight indicates if the program or project is on schedule or late.

Stoplights:

• Green. The program or project is ahead of schedule or on schedule.
• Yellow. The program or project is between one and ten days late.
• Red. The program or project is more than ten days late.
• White. The schedule is undefined.

Status Indicator

Displays a stoplight that shows the status of each program or project based on its status indicator.

Source: Schedule & Performance properties page of the program or project.

Stoplights:

• Green. The program or project is on track.
• Yellow. The program or project is at risk.
• Red. The program or project is critical.
• White. The program or project status indicator is undefined.
