Use the Project Review page to review the status of projects that are late and the number of days by which they are behind schedule. This page includes the Project Review portlet.
The Project Review portlet displays approved and unapproved projects and their schedule status. This portlet allows executives to view how large their approved projects are and whether they are on schedule.
The portlet displays information in a bubble chart. The X-axis of the chart displays the project finish dates in months. The Y-axis of the chart displays the number of days by which the projects are late compared to their baseline finish dates.
Each bubble on the chart represents a project. Click a bubble to open the project properties page and view or edit the project.
For bubbles to appear on the chart, require tasks and resources assigned to the tasks.
The bubble color represents the project status as follows:
The bubble size represents the total ETC amount for the project. Mouseover a bubble to display the following information:
Use the Project KPIs page to view at a glance key performance indicators for all projects. The page includes the Project KPIs By OBS portlet.
The Project KPIs By OBS portlet displays projects sorted by OBS and provides a quick update on key performance indicators (KPIs), such as schedule, status, effort, cost, risk, issues, and change requests.
The portlet displays information from both an OBS and a project perspective. The project information rolls up to each level in the OBS. The stoplights that display on the portlet represent the status, schedule, or effort for all your projects. For example, if only one red stoplight exists and five yellow stoplights at various hierarchy levels, then the top-most level displays a yellow stoplight.
The portlet includes the following fields:
Displays the OBS or project name. Expand an OBS name to display all projects that belong to that OBS. Click a project link to open the project properties page and edit the project.
Displays a stoplight indicating the overall status of the projects based on their schedule, scope, and cost and effort status. This information is derived from the most recent status reports of the projects.
Displays a stoplight indicating the projects are on or behind schedule. This metric is evaluated by comparing the scheduled finish date with the baseline date for all projects in the hierarchy. If no baseline exists for a project, the current date is used.
Displays a stoplight indicating if the amount of work is over or underestimated, or on target for the projects. This metric is evaluated by comparing the total current ETC with the baseline ETC for all projects in the hierarchy.
Displays a stoplight based on the comparison of the total current cost with the baseline cost for all projects in the hierarchy.
Displays a stoplight based on the severity of the risk factor for all projects in the hierarchy.
Displays a stoplight based on the severity of the issues for all projects in the hierarchy.
Displays a yellow check mark if at least one change request exists for a project at that hierarchy level.
Use the Status Reports page to view the latest and any previous project status reports on a regular basis. Having a complete history of project status reports is useful for auditing and archiving purposes. The page includes the Project Status Reports Summary portlet.
The Project Status Reports Summary portlet lists project status reports to open and get detailed project status updates.
To display information in this portlet, project status reports is required.
This portlet includes the following fields:
Displays the name of the associated project. Click the project name link to open the project properties page and edit the project.
Displays the first and last name of the project manager. Click the manager link to open the resource properties page and edit the project manager details.
Displays a stoplight indicating how the project is doing overall. This metric is based on the Overall Status stoplight in the status report.
Displays the name of the status report. Click the report link to open the status properties page and view the report in detail.
Displays the date the status report was created.
Displays a stoplight indicating if the project schedule is on track. This metric is based on the Schedule section in the status report.
Displays a stoplight indicating if the project scope is on track. This metric is based on the Scope section in the status report.
Displays a stoplight indicating if the project cost and effort are on track. This metric is based on the Cost and Effort section in the status report.
Use the project schedule page to view project schedule information at the following hierarchy levels:
The page includes the project schedule portlet.
The Project Schedule portlet displays project schedule information in a Gantt chart format.
The portlet displays information for a particular level in the hierarchy (project, task, or resource). For example, when you are at the project level, the stoplight is based on the finish date of the project and not an aggregate of all the tasks underneath it.
The portlet includes the following fields:
Displays the project name, task name, or resource name. Expand a project name to display associated task names. Expand a task name to display associated resources. Click a project, task, or resource link to open their properties pages and edit the project, task, or resource.
Provides a link to the Project Dashboard page.
Displays the start date of the project.
Displays the finish date of the project.
Displays a project schedule stoplight based on the project or task finish date.
Stoplight Colors:
Displays the schedule status for six months starting with the current month.
Use the project cost page to view project cost and effort information at the following hierarchy levels:
This page includes the Project Cost and Effort portlet.
The Project Cost and Effort portlet shows the following information for projects:
The portlet aggregates the cost and effort numbers and stoplights at the project level, and includes the following fields:
Displays the project name. Expand a project name to display associated task names. Expand a task name to display associated resources. Click a project, task, or resource link to open their properties pages and edit the project, task or resource.
Displays a stoplight indicating the project planned cost for the project.
Displays the total baseline cost for the project.
Displays the total actual cost for the project.
Displays the total estimate at completion (EAC) value for the project.
Displays the variance between the Baseline Cost and the Actual Cost for the project.
Displays a stoplight indicating the project ETC status.
Displays the total baseline hours for the project.
Displays the total actual hours for the project.
Displays the total ETC for the project.
Displays the variance between the Baseline Hours and the Actual Hours for the project.
