1. Project Status and Project Trends

The Overall Progress Status Bar provides a guide on how the Project Schedule “Actual to Date” is tracking against “Planned to Date” based on the Project Start and Forecast End dates.

 

The Project Schedule progress calculation is based on comparing actual and planned percentage of days completed for the project.   The score is displayed in the pop-up message when a user hovers over the Overall Project Progress Bar and is reflected as a % score.

1. To navigate to the ‘Overall Project Progress’, click the ‘Schedule’ tab from the sidebar then navigate to ‘Overall Project Progress’.  A box will appear with project details if a user hovers over the bar. 

 

 

2. Only Project Milestones are displayed on the Overall Project Progress status bar.   Portfolio Milestones though marked in the schedule, only appear on the Portfolio Pipeline Management status bar.

3. The Project milestones status is displayed based on the following colour legend

Schedule trends is the variance between actual and planned % of days completed for the entire project reflected as a % score as of “today.”   It is expected that the Overall Progress Bar and Schedule Trend would reflect the same “colour” as both are based on the same calculation.

 

4. To navigate to the Schedule Trend Calculations, click the ‘Schedule’ tab from the left sidebar of the page. Once done, hover over ‘Schedule Trend’ icon located at the upper-right corner of the page.
