Overall Project Performance

This is a detailed dashboard that can be opened from the Project Overview dashboard, or standalone. If you click on a project in the Project Overview dashboard, charts and KPIs for that project are displayed in the Overall Project Performance dashboard.

Earned Value by Project

A line chart that displays the budget that must be spent, based on the amount of work completed on a specific date. This chart indicates the budget consumption in the future. The Earned Value chart provides the user with an effective method to measure performance and predict results. This helps in creating comprehensive progress reports and early identification of overruns. Cost and time allocation decisions can also be made in advance. The Earned Value chart is a useful tool to predict the outcome of projects, to determine the time to completion, cost to completion, and expected final costs of the project.

Effort by Project

A line chart that displays the Budget, Earned, and Actual Labor Hours by project for a specified time - start date of project to the current date. If the Budgeted Hours exceed the Earned Hours, the graph indicates that the hours are not consumed as budgeted. If the actual hours exceed the earned hours, the graph indicates an overrun of the hours.

CPI\SPI Trend by Project

The Cost Performance Index (CPI) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) values are calculated using the Budget, Earned Value, and Actual Value of the selected project, for the specified period.

The Cost Performance Index shows the value earned for the amount spent on the project. The Schedule Performance Index shows if the project is to be delivered on time, early, or late.

CPI = Earned Value (EV) / Actual Costs (AC):

  • If CPI < 1, the costs are not incurred efficiently on the project
  • If CPI = 1, the project is on track
  • If CPI > 1, the costs are incurred efficiently on the project

SPI = Earned Value (EV) / Budget:

  • If SPI < 1, the project is behind schedule
  • If SPI = 1, the project can be completed on the date scheduled by the plan
  • If SPI > 1, the project can be completed prior to the scheduled date

Estimation at Completion by Project

A bar chart that displays BAC, EAC, and VAC values for the project selected in the Overall Project Performance chart.

Variance at Completion (VAC) value = Budget at Completion (BAC) - Estimate at Completion (EAC).

A negative variance at completion indicates a cost overrun. A positive variance at completion indicates a cost deficit.

Activity Performance

Activity Performance is calculated based on the total number of activities completed compared to the number of activities planned to be completed in a period.

Milestone Performance

A bar chart that indicates the progress of the milestone based on the latest approved baseline plan. Milestone performance is calculated based on the total number of milestones completed compared to the number of milestones planned to be completed in a period.

Count of activities

These KPIs show the count of activities for the next 30 days:

Critical to Start Activity Count
This KPI shows the count of activities for which the Actual Start Date is blank, the Baseline Start Date is within the current date + 30 days and before the Earliest Start Date, and the free float is 0.
Critical to Finish Activity Count
This KPI shows the count of activities for which the Actual Finish Date is blank, the Baseline Finish Date is within the current date + 30 days and before the Earliest finish Date, and the free float is 0.
To Start Activity Count
This KPI shows the count of activities for which the Actual Start Date is blank, the Baseline Start Date is within the current date + 30 days and before the Earliest Start Date.
To Finish Activity Count
This KPI shows the count of activities for which the Actual Finish Date is blank, the Baseline Finish Date is within the current date + 30 days and before the Earliest Finish Date.
