PRINCE2 Management Controls › PRINCE2 Executive Dashboard › Track Project Status

Track Project Status

You can track general status and other information related to all PRINCE2 projects in the organization from the Project Status portlet on the Executive Dashboard.

Note: A project requires tasks defined as ‘products’ for projects to appear on the portlet.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the PRINCE2^TM Management Controls menu, and click Executive Dashboard.
2. Click the Project Status portlet.

   The page displays information, of which the following fields require explanation:

   PRINCE2 Stage

   Displays the current PRINCE2 stage for the project. The shaded area indicates the stage the project is in. The color of the shaded area corresponds to the color of the Schedule (Status) indicator.

   Schedule (Status)

   Displays one of the following colored indicators:

   • White = no baseline data.
   • Green = the baseline finish date is on schedule (no days late)
   • Yellow = the baseline finish date is <= 10 days late
   • Red = the baseline finish date is > 10 days late

   You must baseline the project for the indicator to display a color.

   Products Completed %

   Displays one of the following colored indicators based on the percent of products completed:

   • Green = actual products completed is > 80 percent of total products (actual + remaining products).
   • Yellow = actual products completed is > 40 percent but < = 80 percent of total products (actual + remaining products).
   • Red = actual products completed is < 40 percent of total products (actual + remaining products).

   Click a colored indicator to drill down to the tasks list page.
