Traffic Light Indicators
The following table describes the traffic light indicators on the Portfolio Overview page:
| Traffic Light | Information |
|---|---|
| Schedule | The difference between the planned and projected dates. If there are several folios available in the portfolio, the number displayed reflects the worst schedule performance among the folios in this portfolio. |
| Costs | The percentage of variation between the budget and the actual cost to date. The percentage displayed is the sum of the actual costs to date of all folios in this portfolio compared to their total planned costs and multiplied by their completion ratio. |
| Revenue | The percentage of variation between planned and actual revenue to date. The percentage displayed is the sum of the actual revenue to date of all the folios in this portfolio compared to their total planned revenue multiplied by their completion ratio. |
| Profits/Gross Margin | The gross profit margin to date. The percentage displayed indicates the total profit to date divided by the total revenue to date. |
The system uses the following color scheme to indicate status:
- Green: On track. All aspects of portfolio viability are within tolerance.
- Amber: Some issues are having a negative effect on the portfolio. Viability is at risk
- Red: Problematic. Serious, high-risk concerns are threatening the overall performance of the portfolio.
- Grey: No data available for the time being
If all the folios within the portfolio use the Earned Value Management (EVM) functionality, you hover your cursor over the ellipsis of the traffic light to obtain more at a glance information.
You can also click the traffic light to drill down and obtain more detailed information on this particular area of the portfolio.
