    • The data area is only displayed if Earned Value data is available. For the respective requirements, see Earned Value Analysis.
    • If the selected project is a structured project, only the data of the main project is displayed here.

    Earned Value

    • The graphic displays the progress of key figures on project level such as Planned costs (from project start to project end), Actual and remaining costs and Earned value (from project start to key date).
    • The graphic contains three profiles.
      • Red profile for planned costs: The values are taken from the baseline report.
      • Blue profile for actual costs: The values are taken from the last released status report.
      • Orange profile for the earned value. The values are taken from the last released status report.
    • Additionally, the meaning of each color is explained in the legend below the graphic.
    • If you move the mouse over the circles next to the profiles, the following information is displayed in the tooltip: key figures, month, and monthly value. Additionally, the number and name of the baseline report are displayed in the profile for planned costs.
    • By clicking on the plus symbol left to the graphic, monthly values of the last released status report can be displayed or hidden. Displayed values correspond to the values in the graphic.

    SPI/CPI trend / SV/CV trend
