Image Added Tempo Budgets shows us that the calendar progress is already 72.3%. That means we can assume that Robert should have worked: 1,184h x 0.723 = 856h. As we stated earlier Robert has only logged 240h so far. In order to have an overhead of 0% Robert should have worked 856h instead of the 240h. The overhead can be calculated as: 100% - (240h / 856h x 100%) = 71.96%. Or the other way round: Robert has worked 28.04% according to schedule. From the calculation we can see that Tempo Budgets gives you information on how efficient your staff is working according to the planned effort. But be careful: the overhead can never be below 0% and never above 100%. Of course, an overhead of 0% is great, but also means that you should check if your staff has logged too many hours on the issues within the scope of the Folio. If your staff availability is also used for your estimated costs, you can identify under-allocated staff members as the actual costs will be greater than the planned costs. Similarly, an overhead of 100% will result in a far lower actual cost as planned. In these cases you should verify that everyone is accurately logging their time. |
