I*PMIS vs. Field Link

The burn down chart can be utilized for all projects and portfolios, irrespective of whether a Scrum Sprint is currently ongoing. This chart is generated through a dialog that compiles numerical information from the initial baseline plan, the current forecast, and actual performance data, allowing for automatic chart creation. Users can choose to display the chart in either hours or monetary values. In a similar vein, the earned value chart is available for every project and portfolio, with its generator dialog also retrieving data from the baseline plan, present forecasts, and actual figures to produce the chart. The option to format this chart in hours or dollars is also provided. Furthermore, labor variances are calculated for user convenience, encompassing metrics such as the hourly unit cost variance, total unit cost variance, hour variance, total hours cost variance, and overall labor variances, all derived from a comparison of actuals against the original plan and baseline budget. This thorough analysis ensures a complete understanding of the financial health of your project. By employing this data-driven strategy, project managers are empowered to make well-informed decisions and necessary adjustments when required, ultimately enhancing project outcomes.
