Overall Project Performance

This chart displays the KPIs to show the overall health of the project. These colored indicators are available:

  • Green: Project is on schedule
  • Yellow: Project requires attention
  • Red: Project requires immediate attention

Project KPIs:

KPIs Effort SPI CPI VAC OTP TCPI
(Earned Value hours – Actual Hours) / Earned Value * 100 Earned Value / Budget Earned Value / Actual Cost Budget at Completion – Estimate at completion)/ Budget at Completion *100 No. of activities completed till date/ No. of activities planned to be completed as on date (Budget at Completion – Earned Value) / (Estimate at Completion – Actual Cost)
Green >=0 >=1 >=1 >0 >=1 <1
Yellow = -5 to 0 =0.95 to 0.99 =0.95 to 0.99 = -5 to 0.009 = 0.95 to 0.99 = 0.95 to 0.99
Red <-5 <0.95 <0.95 <-5 <0.95 >=1

SPI – Schedule Performance Index

CPI – Cost Performance Index

VAC – Variance at Completion

OTP - On Time Performance

TCPI – To Complete Performance Index

Note: 
  • Effort is not specified if the Earned Value is zero.
  • SPI is not specified if the budget (Budget) is defined for the project.
  • CPI is not specified if the Actual Cost is not yet booked for the project (or booked with zero cost).
  • VAC is not specified if the budget is not defined for the project.
  • OTP is not specified if an activity is not completed.
  • TCPI is not specified if EAC and actual cost are not defined for the project.

Click on the Project to start the Overall Project Performance dashboard.

Earned Value

The Earned Value bar chart displays the Budget, Earned Value and Actual Cost of all the projects assigned to a user. The user can view the project performance and the difference between the Budget amount, Earned amount and Actual Cost consumed in a specific time period. This chart indicates the schedule variance with regards to the amounts, and the cost variance of the amount of consumption. The chart helps users to initiate corrective actions when the difference between the Budget and earned, or earned and actual amount displays a negative value.

Estimate at Completion

This bar chart displays BAC, EAC, and VAC for all the projects assigned to the user. Budget at Completion is the current project budget. Estimate at Completion is the sum of the Actual Costs incurred till date and the Last Approved forecast.

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

Click on a bar to drill down from Project, to Activity and next to Cost Component.

Finish Variance

This bar chart is used to display the data based on the baseline finish date compared to the scheduled finish date. A positive difference between the scheduled finish date and the baseline finish date indicates an issue with the progress of the project.

Finish Variance = Scheduled Finish Date - Baseline Finish Date

Note: LN selects the baseline finish date from the latest Approved Baseline details for the Top activity.

Cost Exception Activity Count

This KPI indicates the count of activities whose planned amount is less than the actual costs incurred.

Hours Exception Activity Count

This KPI indicates the count of activities whose planned hours are less than the actual hours spent.

Late Planned Activity Count

This KPI indicates the count of activities whose baseline start date is less than the Actual Start Date (and Actual Start Date is not null).
