Project managers may use this portlet to show the planned effort and the remaining effort on projects. Includes actual hours as well as estimate at completion.

By its very nature, the shift to Product Funding is going to require that tracking of that funding. Agile tools do not have much, if any, financial capabilities, so it is important to create an eco-system that can support this value stream—from funding, through delivery, and finally to tracking the realization of financial value.
