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:

OBS/Project Name

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.

Status

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.

Stoplight Colors:

• Red. Significant Variation.
• Yellow. Minor Variation
• Green. On Track.

Schedule

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.

Stoplight Colors:

• Red. The projects are behind schedule by more than one day past due date.
• Yellow. The projects are behind schedule by less than two days before due date.
• Green. The projects are on schedule by more than two days before due date.

Effort

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.

Stoplight Colors:

• Red. The current ETC is more than or equal to 10 percent over the baseline.
• Yellow. The current ETC is from 1 through 10 percent over the baseline.
• Green. The current ETC is from 0 through 10 percent under the baseline.
• White. No baseline data exists.

Cost

Displays a stoplight based on the comparison of the total current cost with the baseline cost for all projects in the hierarchy.

Stoplight Colors:

• Red. The current cost is more than or equal to 10 percent over baseline.
• Yellow. The current cost is from 1 through 10 percent over baseline.
• Green. The current cost is from 0 through -10 percent under baseline.
• White. No baseline data exists.

Risk

Displays a stoplight based on the severity of the risk factor for all projects in the hierarchy.

Stoplight Colors:

• Red. A high priority risk exists.
• Yellow. A medium priority risk exists.
• Green. No high or medium priority risks exist.

Issues

Displays a stoplight based on the severity of the issues for all projects in the hierarchy.

Stoplight Colors:

• Red. A high priority issue exists.
• Yellow. A medium priority issue exists.
• Green. No high or medium priority issues exist.

Change

Displays a yellow check mark if at least one change request exists for a project at that hierarchy level.
