Project Reports

Project Reports

Generate reports by specific project.  There are 4 project report categories you can generate from.

• Scheduled Time
• Reported Time
• Booking Categories
• and Project Burn.

While some may be self explanatory, let’s take you through each of them to ensure that you are optimizing the most out of Hub Planner’s reports.

Project Reports Templates

Scheduled Time

Ok, so the clue is in the title right.  When you have the billing panel enabled within your scheduler.  You have sight of real time information in terms of scheduled and actuals.  This information comes in the form of hours and finance. We are going to look at the hours scheduled.

Your billing panel will show you all hours calculated that are due to be scheduled on the project in question.  So, that would mean any hours planned and allocated to the project. Scheduled time will most likely represent time forecasted.  However, it can also be time scheduled that has from the past that has not yet been reported.

Similar to Scheduled Time above however Reported Time has been submitted to Timesheets.  When you have the billing panel enabled within your scheduler.

Booking Categories

Produce a report of how much time is being spent by Booking Category.  If you haven’t set them up yet, have a look at the best way to color code booking categories before you do.  From here you can actively see where time has been spent or scheduled by booking category.

These reports allow you to asses and forecast demands along the process allowing for strategic implementations.

Project Burn

This report is very handy for assessing the progress of your project against the time you had originally allocated.  So, for example you could see that in the last month we have progressed through 20% of the total time. Where you had scheduled in to really only consume 15%.  Are we still on track? Or are we behind on a stage that is taking up too much time? On the other hand it could be the opposite that you have progressed less than you expected.   Either way, it’s a great template to assess your project burn rate.

How is Project Burn Calculated?

Reported / Scheduled = Burn Rate.  This could be calculated in Projects and Resources.

Project Burn Rate.  For example, a project has 400hrs scheduled and 200hrs reported.  Therefore, 200hrs reported / 400hrs scheduled = 50% Burn Rate.

Resource Burn Rate: For example, a resource is scheduled for 40hours and has reported 20hrs.   Therefore, 20hrs reported time / 40hrs scheduled time = 50% Burn Rate.
