P6- Reporter – Cancelled Work Reporting

How do you track and report cancelled work in your project? By using P6-Reporter (previously EP-datawarehouse) and snapshots of your project you can not only view cancelled work but also monitor it over time using project snapshots. I have pulled many reports on cancelled work during project execution and after project completions. But can you easily access and present this information?
You can with dashboards. With Emerald’s P6-Reporter, your information is available on demand in a self-serve dashboard anytime you need to reference your most current project information. It can be included in self-serve dashboards displayed in a number of different configurations. Here are a few examples from the tool itself:

Cancelled Hours by Snapshot Date

Cancelled, Budgeted, and Remaining Hours by WBS

Cancelled, Budgeted, and Remaining Hours by Activity

Current Hours – Budgeted and Cancelled by Resource

Once you set up your reports, the snapshot process is automated in P6-Reporter. You can also choose to report manually if you need a report outside of your typical schedule. Your project’s information will thus be up to date and readily accessible.

But what about cancelled work activity costs? That information can be included in self-serve dashboard reports too. You’ll never get caught off guard by cancelled work again.
