Health Score tab

The Health Score tab of the Portfolio Center workspace allows the user to review the Portfolio Health Score, which consolidates the Health Score data from the projects belonging to the selected Portfolio Folder(s).

For a project to be eligible to contribute to the Portfolio Health Score, it must:

  • Be an Active project, published and not closed.

  • Have the Health Score feature activated in its Setup options.

In addition, the Portfolio Manager will be able to restrict the list of projects by defining specific Natures, Types, and Workflow States to be taken into account.

The Portfolio Health Score is made up of the Time, Cost, and Quality scores. These are calculated by taking into account the sum of the projects’ scores while considering the Portfolio Weight.

The combination of the sub-scores gives the Portfolio Health Score, which is calculated as follows:

Portfolio Health Score = (Time Weight * Portfolio Time Score + Cost Weight * Portfolio Cost Score + Quality Weight * Portfolio Quality Score) / (Sum of Weights)
