Portfolio Status
- The Portfolio Status displays the information about the KPIs for all the projects.
- Each project will have a status (Red, Green, Amber) for Schedule, Budget, Resources, and Risks.
- In addition to the project KPI statues, the portfolio status can display status at the portfolio level.
- All the fields in this table are manual, so you have to color the cells as per the status.
- The portfolio status will depend on the status of all the projects.
- For example, if a schedule is red for more than 2 projects, then the portfolio's schedule will be red. If the Resources for one project is red, and one is amber, then the portfolio's overall status can be amber.

Individual Project Status

- Having individual details for each of the projects is helpful to the team so that they are aware of the dates for the project.
- Risks, Issues, Dependencies, and Concerns are a general section that can detail the risks or issues the project is facing. Each of the items can be marked as on the track, delayed, or concern.
- If the issue is severe, then the mark is delayed, if it is anticipated to become serious, then mark it as a concern, and if you are confident you can resolve it, then a mark is on track.
