In a dashboard or Project Workspace, the Schedule Performance portlet displays both current and forecast schedule summary performance information, in either costs or labor units. Positive performance schedule values indicate that the project is ahead of schedule; negative values indicate that the project is behind schedule. Positive performance cost values indicate that the project is under budget; negative values indicate that the project is over budget. Status indicators help you gauge whether a variance is within an acceptable range or whether you will need to take corrective action, based on thresholds you define.
