Analysis of the use of labor resources of the server portfolio in MS Excel
An extension of the classic dashboard for planning and using labor resources in a project portfolio is a dashboard where we also analyze data on employees, teams and equipment of the company involved in projects. Using the labor resources type, you can describe all resources that are limited by the time of use. The dashboard analyzes both labor costs, costs and resource availability for loading.
The dashboard solves the following tasks:
Assessment of the quality of planning of labor resources (employees, teams and equipment).
Assessment of the quality of use of labor resources (employees, teams and equipment).
Analysis of the availability (underloading and overloading) of the company's corporate labor resources.
On the "Work" dashboard page, you can analyze the quality of resource planning and use based on labor cost indicators. By comparing planned and actual indicators, we evaluate the quality of labor resource planning in projects.
The graph shows the indicators of resource labor costs. The graph displays the following indicators:
- Baseline - basic resource labor costs.
- Work - planned resource labor costs.
- Actual - actual resource labor costs.
- Actual overtime - actual overtime resource labor costs.
The table contains the following fields: resource type (resource group) and resource name.
The columns display the following indicators.
- Baseline - base resource labor costs.
- Work - planned resource labor costs.
- Overtime - planned overtime resource labor costs.
- Veriance - difference between planned and base labor costs.
- Actual - actual resource labor costs.
- Actual overtime - actual overtime resource labor costs.
- Remaining - difference between planned and actual resource labor costs.

- Group - filter by groups of company labor resources.
- Portfolio - filter by portfolios.
- Stage - filter by project stages.
