The Benefits by Year portlet summarizes Benefit totals by year and is searchable by Project, OBS and Portfolio. The results display both Budgeted Benefit Plans and Forecast Plans and the associated Cost Plan. Users can make use of this portlet to view Benefit Plan totals across an OBS or Portfolio or to compare the Budgeted Benefit of a Project versus the current plan. -
The Bubble Chart Quick Reference Guide provides the user instructions to customize bubble charts and their color schemes by modifying the query associated with the chart, as well as the portlet options. This is very beneficial as it allows the user to match or blend colors among all of the bubble portlets to better display the information the portlets are delivering. Similar data can be one color while different data can be its own color to better show the overall picture. -
Bar Chart displays average percent variance for all active projects by OBS unit. Percent variance = Planned Cost - Budgeted Cost / Budgeted Cost * 100. Projects with no Budgeted Cost are ignored for the calculation. Then all project variance percentages are algebraically added (some may be negative), and divided by total projects with a variance. This yields the Average Percent Variance. This calculation is performed for active projects in each OBS unit. OBS units include all units at all levels where projects are attached. Portlet filterable by OBS, Financial Status, and Financially Approved. Vertical axis = OBS Unit Name. Horizontal axis = Variance Percent. Data value = Average Percent Variance. Mouseover value = OBS Name + Average Variance Percent. -
Calendar View report provides a view of Projects, Milestones or Tasks that has finish date within the user selected month. User has the flexibility to choose to Calendar view as Monthly or Weekly and also number of periods that needs to be displayed in the report. Report can be filtered to show only Projects or Milestones or Tasks with the checkboxes provided. It can also be further filtered using Project Manager and Project OBS parameters. -
The Capacity Graph - Investment portlet displays Availability, Allocations, Assignments and Actuals for active resources in a single project. This portlet pulls from timeslices and allows the user to filter on weekly, monthly, or quarterly data. This portlet provides a Project Manager with a simple way to analyse: Allocations vs. Actuals and Allocations vs. ETC. Depending on metric goals, the graph allows the user to determine where areas of improvement may exist. -
The Capacity Graph portlet displays Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments for one or more active resource(s) in a single view. This portlet pulls data from timeslices, and allows the user to filter on a weekly, monthly or quarterly data. The Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) and Allocation data will only show for projects that are active. This portlet provides Resource Managers, PMOs and Executives with a simple way to analyse: Allocations vs. Availability, Allocations vs. Actuals, Allocations vs. ETC and ETC vs. Availability. The graph allows the user to determine where areas of improvement may exist and quickly identify potential areas of constraint. Note: the information displayed is dependent on what the user has security rights to view. -
The Capacity Graph portlet displays Availability, Allocations, Actuals and Assignments for a Clarity user in a single view. This portlet pulls data from timeslices, and allows the user to filter on a weekly, monthly or quarterly data. The Estimated Time to Complete (ETC) and Allocation data will only show for projects that are active. This portlet provides a Clarity user with a simple way to analyse their: Allocations vs. Availability, Allocations vs. Actuals, Allocations vs. ETC and ETC vs. Availability. The graph allows the user to determine where areas of improvement may exist and quickly identify potential areas of constraint. -
The Capacity Planning by Primary Application portlet displays the capacity and demand by primary application for a selected timeframe. This portlet is used to determine which applications are in high demand, being used efficiently, and how much capacity may be remaining for the time period. The portlet may be filtered by application name, resource OBS or project OBS to narrow the results. The timeframe can be set to display daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually. -
This portlet pulls back the Availability and Allocation totals by Role between a user-specified Start and Finish Date, then the user can drilldown to look at the information for Applications. The Time Period filter allows for comparing these values across different timeframes (monthly, weekly, quarterly, annual) as desired. Other filters allow for looking at Active or Inactive Roles (or both) and including Active or Inactive Projects (or both) in the totals. -
The Capacity Planning by Role and Skill portlet displays all availability and demand in the system summarized by role. The portlet also allows the user to drill-down further into the role and separate the hours by primary skill. This portlet leverages the timeslices, and pulls availability from resources and allocation from the team records. The user is able to narrow the results by filtering on start/finish date, time period, active projects, and active resources. Using this portlet, a resource manager can quickly determine resource needs, skill needs, and overall allocation/availability of roles. -
The Capacity Planning by Skill portlet displays the capacity and demand by skill for a selected timeframe. This portlet is used to determine which skills are in high demand, being used efficiently, and how much capacity may be remaining for the time period. The portlet may be filtered by skill name, resource OBS or project OBS to narrow the results.
