.

The Number of Projects Delayed in the Current Portfolio of Projects in SmartPM. A Delayed Project is a project where the current planned completion date of the project is on a later date than the planned completion date in the projects assigned “baseline” schedule.

.

The Number of Projects with Low Quality Schedules in the Current Portfolio of Projects in SmartPM. A Low Quality Schedule is a schedule that has a C or lower “grade” as compared to the customizable DCMA driven schedule quality index set up by the user.

.

The number of projects that need new schedules – or have not received an updated schedule since a month prior to the current date.

.

The number of projects on track in the current portfolio of projects in SmartPM. An "on track project" is defined as a project that has a current planned completion date on a date before the planned completion date of the current projects “assigned” baseline schedule.

.

.

The title of the Projects “Primary” Scenario – or the scenario that the user has set to be present on the dashboard.

.

The current number of calendar days that a project's end date is delayed as compared to the planned completion date of the project's assigned baseline schedule.

.

Data Date is the status date of the most recent schedule update imported into SmartPM for a specific project.

Baseline End Date is the end date in your baseline schedule.

Current End Date is the end date in your most current schedule.

.

The project health metric is a gauge of overall project health taking into account the other project performance and risk metrics visible on the dashboard- including schedule quality, feasibility, progress delay and historical performance.

.

The Schedule Delay Section of the dashboard houses the KPI’s related to performance including Planned vs Actual, Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Critical Path Delay (if any), and Planned Future Acceleration as per the latest schedule update.

.

The Critical Path Delay Metric is a calculation of total cumulative critical path delay a project has suffered, as quantified in each update period and added together over time.

.

The Future Acceleration Metric is a calculation of the total cumulative acceleration that has been built into the schedule through the contemporaneous project updates, as quantified in each update period and added up over time.

.

The Schedule Quality Grade is a gauge of the structural integrity of a project schedule, using a customized scoring model that leverages the DCMA methodology.

.

The Schedule Compression Index is a comparison of compression that has been built into a schedule at a given point in time – as compared to the original baseline schedule

.

The Add New Project button enables the user to add a new project by importing a new project schedule, deeming it the “baseline” schedule.

.

.

.

The Summary Report link, when clicked, results in a summary level report (1 pager) popping up on the screen that houses a detailed analysis of performance in the last update period in a condensed format. In this report, the user will be able to assess performance, delay and compression on multiple project milestones, be able to view a planned versus actual performance curve as well as a future planned versus predictive performance curves. In addition, critical path delays and recovery activities will be highlighted, for the previous update period.

.

.

The filter toggle enables the user to set up filters on the dashboard to show a subset of projects based on the filters criteria.

.

The Add New Project button enables the user to add a new project by importing a new project schedule, deeming it the “baseline” schedule.
