Planned Revenues

The Planned Revenues page allows you to enter all Consulting and Non-consulting revenues you expect the Folio will generate during its lifespan. Non-consulting revenues are added to one of two main categories: Operating or Non-operating. Non-consulting revenues can be single occurrence or recurrent ones. Consulting revenues are the team members you plan will do work that will be billed and generate revenue, such as Developer #1, Technical Coach #1 , etc. Consulting revenues are categorized as Operating. Information entered here will be used to provide project health metrics on the Overview page and shown as a reference on the Revenues Forecast chart.

Planned revenues can be baselined for future reference and comparing various scenarios.

This will insert consulting revenue from all planned consulting revenues into the Consulting section of 'Operating Revenue'.

This will insert revenue from capital and financial expenditure under 'Non-Operating Revenue'.
