Schedule Performance Portlet of the Dashboards Page

Overview

Use this portlet to view 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.

The following calculated data is displayed in the Schedule Performance portlet. Data is calculated and displayed in either costs or labor units, depending on your preference selection (see Tips).

Tips

  • The Schedule Performance portlet calculates and displays data in cost or labor units based on the option selected in Global 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 schedule 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.
