Overview
Project Dashboards provide a real-time view of project progress, time tracking, and forecasting. The feature is designed for projects that have tasks and time tracking data associated with them.
To access Project Dashboards, navigate to Project Dashboard tab under a project.
Dashboard Components
Time Tracking Metrics
- Time budget chart with a forecasting line
- Estimated time — The projected total time for the project
- Logged time — Actual time tracked against the project to date
- Remaining time — Calculated time left based on estimates
- Variance — Clearly indicated difference between estimated and logged time
Project Timeline
Each project displays a start and end date, which is factored into progress calculations and forecasting.
Forecasting
The dashboard includes a dotted line forecast that projects future time tracking based on current logging patterns. The estimated end date updates dynamically as more time is tracked, giving teams an up-to-date view of when the project is likely to wrap up.
Breakdown Views
Users can analyze project data through three lenses:
- Task breakdown — View progress and status at the individual task level
- Member breakdown — See time allocation and contributions per team member
- Status breakdown — See tasks under a certain status, and time tracked towards the tasks
Limitations & Planned Enhancements
Currently, dashboards are based on time data only. Labor cost integration is planned for a future release, which will introduce:
- Fixed fee tracking vs. actual costs
- Cost-based forecasting charts mirroring the existing time-based ones
