Labor Effort Portlet

The Labor Effort portlet displays on the project dashboard. Use this portlet to compare up-to-date actuals and estimates, and to view overall baseline and allocation variances.

This portlet includes the following fields:

Total Effort

Defines the total effort based on the following formula:

Total Effort = Actuals + remaining ETC
Actuals

Defines the total number of hours that have been submitted and posted against project tasks.

Estimate to Complete (ETC)

Displays the current estimate to complete (ETC) for the project. The value for this field is from the Current ETC on the estimating properties page.

Required: No

Baseline

Displays the usage of the current baseline. Baseline usage is based on the following formula:

Usage = Total of Actuals + ETC; If a baseline is not being used, Usage = zero.
Baseline Variance

Displays the baseline variance, based on the following formula:

Baseline Variance = Baseline Usage - Total Effort
Remaining Allocation

Displays the number of allocated hours remaining on the project, based on the following formula:

Remaining Allocation = Allocation - Actuals
Allocation Variance

Displays the allocation variance, based on the following formula:

Allocation Variance = Remaining Allocation - Total Effort
