Here are a few examples of reports we′ve built for our customers:
- Quoted vs. Actual Labour Cost: This report compares a project′s financial performance against different criteria, such as which customers earn you the most money.
- Resource Loading by Skill: This variation on the native Resource Loading report allows you to filter and group your users by the built-in Skills field. Now you can easily identify skill-based bottlenecks when planning out project timelines.
- Project Selection: This report identifies projects that are the best candidates for specific teams or for certain quarters based on workload and potential profit.
- Portfolio Status: This report provides an overview of how many projects are currently active in a portfolio, program or department and the respective statuses of each. This report can be filtered down further by the Project Manager in charge, end date, service type, and more.
- Timesheet Trends by Team: This report offers you insight into underperforming teams by providing historical trends of timesheet logs by Team assignment.
