Page 38 - Participant Guide - Unanet GovCon Analyzing Project Metrics

Perform Periodic Project Reviews

Run reports using a ‘forecasted’ view of the data on a regularly scheduled review cycle.
A forecasted view includes actuals through the prior approval period, say timesheet
period, and remaining assignments.

While you can run the forecasted view with actuals and remaining plans, be
active about how to update assignment budget hours to ensure you are
controlling allowable charges on timesheets.

Determine Corrective Action
As you analyze the reports, project managers/leads will need to decide if they should
make changes to the project’s trajectory to ensure they complete the project on time,
budget and within scope. Possible actions to take are explained in the next lesson.

Make Adjustments, when needed
If you decide to make corrective action, it is recommended that you only change the
future people assignments and expense budgets.

If your team chooses to make changes to future plans vice the recommended
future assignments, please consider researching the Unanet Customer
Support Portal on Multiple Plan Sets to do this type of reforecasting properly.

Assess Results against Key Metrics
It is prudent to rerun the same key metric reports after you make any changes to the
project’s future assignments/budgets to ensure that your changes bring your project
back into alignment for a successful finish.
