Earned Value Performance Portlet of the Dashboards Page

Overview

Use this portlet to view both current and forecast earned value schedule variance (SV), cost variance (CV), or labor unit variance calculations. Data are calculated and displayed in either costs or labor units, depending on your preference. Negative values indicate unfavorable performance. Status indicators help you gauge whether a variance is within an acceptable range or whether you will need to take corrective action, based on the thresholds you define.

Screen Elements

To Date - Schedule (SV) field

For costs, calculated as: Earned Value Cost minus Planned Value Cost.

For labor units, calculated as: Earned Value Labor Units minus Planned Value Labor Units.

To Date - Cost (CV) field

Calculated as: Earned Value Cost minus Actual Cost.

To Date - Labor Units (CV) field

Calculated as: Earned Value Labor Units minus Actual Labor Units

Forecast at Completion - Schedule field

For costs, calculated as: Budget at Completion multiplied by Schedule Variance Index (SVI), where SVI equals SV divided by Planned Value Cost.

For labor units, calculated as: Baseline (BL) Labor Units multiplied by SVI Labor Units, where SVI equals SV divided by Planned Value Labor Units.

Forecast at Completion - Cost field

Calculated as: Budget at Completion multiplied by Cost Variance Index (CVI), where CVI equals CV divided by Earned Value Cost.

Forecast at Completion - Labor Units field

Calculated as: Baseline (BL) Labor Units multiplied by Cost Variance Index (CVI) Labor Units, where CVI equals CV divided by Earned Value Labor Units.

Tips

  • The Earned Value Performance portlet calculates and displays data in cost or labor units based on the option selected on the Global tab in My Preferences.
  • If a dashboard's Filter by option is set to a portfolio or project code, the portlet lists each project included in the portfolio or project code filter and displays each project's earned value performance data.
  • You can click a project name in the portlet to display the Performance Status page or the associated Project Workspace; the page displayed depends on your module access.
