  This dashboard allows project, commercial, and finance teams to quickly assess:

  • Overall contract value and commercial position

  • Payform status, net payable, paid-to-date, and outstanding amounts

  • Invoice trends, invoice aging, payment timing, and open payable position

  • Deliverable and line-item progress, including invoice received and goods received status

  • Vendor change order exposure, execution status, and commercial impact

  

• Project Controls dashboard Forecast Earned Value (Forecast EV) Curve – A new Forecast Earned Value (Forecast EV) measure has been added to the Project Controls dashboard data model. Read more

  Forecast EV represents the projected value expected to be earned over the remaining duration of a project and can be used alongside existing cost and earned value metrics to provide additional insight into forecasted project performance. The measure is calculated using the following formula:

  Forecast EV = (Forecast Remaining Quantity ÷ Total Quantity) × Forecast Total Cost

  Where:

  • Forecast Remaining Quantity = Quantity remaining to be completed.

  • Total Quantity = Actual Quantity to Date + Forecast Remaining Quantity.

  • Forecast Total Cost = Actual Cost to Date + Forecast Remaining Cost.

  This calculation distributes the total project cost based on the proportion of remaining work in each forecast period, producing a forecast earned value curve that can be compared against Forecast Remaining Cost to assess the alignment between projected value delivery and planned expenditure.

  The Forecast EV measure is available within the dashboard's underlying data model and can be accessed when editing the dashboard to create custom visualizations, including a Forecast EV curve.
