Project Analysis for the Service (BRM Accelerator)

The Project Analysis portlet displays data representing the different projects and change orders currently in progress. Anything that is canceled or completed is not used in the portlet. The service owner can manage the planned modifications for their services using this portlet.

The Project Analysis portlet displays data in a hierarchal grid format. The top level of hierarchy displays project names. Click a project name to go to the project properties page. When you expand a project name, the key task and change order names for that project are displayed on the second level. Click a change order name to go to the task properties page for the change order. Click a task name to go to the task properties page for that task.

The portlet includes the following columns:

Name

Displays the project, key task, or change order name.

Baseline Cost

Displays the project baseline cost or monetary value.

Actual Cost

Displays the actual costs for the project.

Cost Variance

Displays a percentage deduced by comparing the baseline cost and the actual cost.

Gantt

Displays the Gantt chart graphic for the project or the task. The Gantt bars are colored based on the lateness of the task or proximity of the task to its completion date. They are blue until they are late. Once considered late, they appear in red.
