Once your project kicks off and you start generating actuals (either manually updating time spent, using our timesheets CSV importer, or through our Harvest Integration) - Price&Cost will allow you to granularly track the performance of the project's Budget, Internal Cost, Profitability, and Effort spent against your original plan.By updating the forecasted time for the remainder of the project (either manually or through our Forecast integration) you will get a projection of where your project will land at completion. This way you can manage the expectations around the project's financial success early on.Once you click a project from the Dashboard, there are several places you will see the performance analysis, depending on the level of granularity you are seeking.Here's an overview:1. Tracking overall project performance from the project headerThe project header will give you an instant overview of your project's financial performance projection at completion (taking into account time spent to date + remaining time on the project.)Price&Cost will show you the projected Budget, Internal Cost, Profit/Profitability, Effort at project completion. Each metric will also reference the Planned value. Metrics that are underperforming compared to the original plan will be highlighted in bright orange:We can see that we are expected to finish the project under Budget. Internal Cost and Effort are also projected to be lower than planned. Howevert, our Profitability is way below our goal of 40% Note: If you have set a Budget Goal for the project, it will be used as a planned value instead of your Baseline budget.2. Tracking overall project performance with the project chartThe project chart will give you an instant view of where you are today, are you going to be under or over the planned figures, and by when.We are still early in the project, but we are projecting that we'll finish under budget Note: If you have set a Budget Goal for the project, it will be used as a planned value instead of your Baseline budget in the charts.The project chart is not just limited to Budget. You can review every metric:Things are not looking so good as far as Profitability is concerned. We are currently at 25% mark but are going to finish the project with just 15% of profitability.Learn more about how to use the project chart on your projects3. Tracking detailed project performance from the project headerIf you hover over the project header, Price&Cost will show you more details around each of the metrics:how does the projected value breakdown into to date / remaininghow does the projected value breakdown per activityhow does project value for each activity compare to your original planThis allows you to understand where the overages are coming from and is it something you can still mitigate (if the damage is already done in the past, there's little you can do).Let's look at a couple of these pop-ups closer.Looking a the Budget Performance, we can see that:The Development Activity is forecasted to form the most part of our project's budget. It is below what we've planned (as the value is not highlighted in orange). However, we can see that to date, we've spent more than we've planned for the same period (orange left part of the progress bar). We are however, going to spend less in the remaining part of the project (green right part of the progress bar) The Default Activity is highlighted in orange which means we are looking to overspend on that compared to our original plan. As both parts of the progress bar are orange, we've already spent more and are also planning to overspend on the remaining part of the project.The Discovery Activity has grey patterned progress bar. This means that there's nothing to compare it to in the original Plan. We didn't plan this activity at all, but added it during the course of the project.The Testing Acvity is now non-billable.and so on...Below we can see that to date we've spend just over $39K. It's more than we've were planning for the same period in our original plan (hence the orange highlight). We are still looking to spend $89K of our Budget for the remainder of the project. It's below what we've planned (no orange highlighting).The total Budget in our original plan was $175KLooking a the Profit Performance, we can see that:Looking a the Profit Performance, we can see that:TheDefault Activity is set to generate exactly the same amount of profit as we've plannedThe Discovery Activity was added during the course of the project. We've never planned for it in the original estimate. It's generating additional profit (which is good). Because we don't have anything to compare it to - the progress bar is striped green.The profit for the Testing Activity has decreased dramatically. This is because we planned the activity as billable, but in the middle of the project changed it to non-billable. And because it has decreased in profits by 100% compared to the original plan it's showing a red striped progress bar.4. Tracking per resource performance from the project summaryTo get a holistic view of performance per individual resource across all activities, you can check the All Activities section. This will show:How much time did each team member spent on the project so far along with what is still remaining. These value will be compared to your original plan and highlighted if the resource's spent + remaining is more than the original plan.The quantity of Materials you are planning now against what you've planned originallyThe Other Costs compared to your original plan 5. Tracking activity-level performance from the project summaryThe project summary allows you to get an overview of all metrics per activity at once. The project Summary inherits the same reconciliation and highlighting logic as used throughout Price&Cost - values projected at the completion per metrics are shown alongside the values in the original plan. If the metrics are underperforming - they are highlighted in bright orange:If you want to get details for the metrics for a certain activity (if it is already above the threshold or just forecasted to be) - you can hover over an activity to see the progress bars. The progress bars work in exactly the same way as the ones shown in the header metrics popups (see paragraph 3 above):6. Tracking detailed activity-level performance from the Activity detail pageIf you want to focus on a specific Activity at a time - the Activity detail view offers an insight into the performance of each of the metrics. Just click an activity name from the Activity list in the project summary or the sidebar :Hovering over the metrics will reveal the breakdown by to date/remaining and will also highlight how these compare to the original plan:You can also view the per resource performance on the Activity detail page:
