Variance analysis

Application of variance analyses:

• Visualisation of the difference between target and actual.
• Detailed analysis of all parameter deviations.
• Quick detection of deviations from schedule and fact by help of a progress line.

You can use the variance analysis to do the following:

• Edit activities and subprojects from the actual plan.
• Change the timescale.

Note:

• The first row lists the properties of the scheduled activities and subprojects, while the second row lists the properties of the required activities and subprojects. Parameter deviating from the the baseline are marked in yellow.

For the table of activities

Mark a row (activity or subproject) in the table of activities.
Once you have marked an activity, you can do as follows:

• Expand/collapse all subprojects – Depending on the preferred view, you can expand/collapse all subprojects.
• Search – searches for an activity or subproject within a project: If you simply enter the first letters of the activity or subproject name into the open window, the searched activity will be marked in the search list.
• Additional break-even chart – You can view an additional break-even chart in the lower area of the bar diagram.

For the diagram field

In the diagram field, you can mark an activity / subproject and do the following:

• Expand/collapse all subprojects – Depending on the preferred view, you can expand/collapse all subprojects.
• Search – searches for an activity or subproject within a project: If you simply enter the first letters of the activity or subproject name into the open window, the searched activity will be marked in the search list.
• Additional break-even chart – You can view an additional break-even chart in the lower area of the bar diagram.
