Project Tracker is an application that imports project information from Primavera P6, Microsoft Project and Asta Powerproject to create S-Curves which are used to analyze the progress of the project.
An S-Curve is a graphic representation of cumulative costs, manhours or time, measured against the overall project plan. It is an ideal tool for managers to quickly assess where the project stands in terms of completion, deadlines, and budget.
Additionally, many clients will ask for an S-Curve report as part of regular reporting updates.
Most project management software applications do not provide in built S-Curve capability. Users generally export data to a spreadsheet, in applications such as Microsoft Excel, to plot the curves.
Therefore, rather than just importing the data required to plot a curve, Project Tracker imports the activity data and allows the user, if required, to plot a Gantt Chart under the S-Curve. This allows those that are viewing the data to assess which activities may be causing issues and what action can be taken.
