REVIEW

Concept of Health Status Dimensions


The Health application is intended to monitor Overall status of a unit (project, stream, and so on) as well as statuses of different dimensions, or sub-statuses, that can be configured depending on business needs. Sub-statuses can be combined in groups according to the domain specification. 

The radial status chart displays the overall status in the center and dimension statuses around it.

The Health Status Dimensions template is a subject of application configuration.


RAG Indication of Status

Health application provides a simple way to indicate a unit status with a traffic-light color: Red, Amber or Green.

In general, GREEN means that unit health goes well, AMBER indicates state with known and manageable risks and RED alerts about occurred issues or high probability of heavy loss or failure.


Overall Status
Overall status is a general indicator of unit health. It is set manually based on expert opinion. 


Dimension Status (or Sub-status)
Dimension is a single focus area of unit health. Sub-status displays state of the dimension in the same RAG (Red-Amber-Green) indication.

Introduction to Health Widgets

Health application represents the Health Status Dimensions along with two other widgets that display health of a project from different perspectives:


 1.  Health Status Dimensions
Displays overall status of a unit and sub-statuses of the unit dimensions as a single radial status chart. Dimensions are combined in groups according to domain specification. Each status displays RAG indication that you can declare through the corresponding cards.


 2.  Overall
Allows you to set overall and forecast status of a unit, and provide any kind of description, for example project status, or action plan with Action Items relevant to the project. The widget also displays how many days the unit is in the current status, and when and by whom the status was reported.


 3.  Health Beats
The Health Beats widget displays how the overall status of a unit changes over time and the status modification events. Also it reflects the current and forecast status of the unit, as well as related signals of Risks and Actions.

How to Report Statuses

To reflect the unit Health across the Status Dimensions, you need to report the following:

  1. Overall and Forecast status
  2. Sub-statuses

To report overall status:

Fig. 5  Update Overall status: 1 -  current Overall status, 2 - forecasted Overall status, 3 - general summary of a status; 4 - action items, 5 - text formatting options.

 

To set/update Overall status, set current Overall status, Forecasted overall status, add comments and action items, if needed.


To report sub-statuses:

вью мод - секция (оба мануальные) не зарепортаные

эдит: тоже 2 карточки рядом, 1 в эдит моде

Fig. 6  Set/update Sub-Status:  

вью - 2 карточки рядом, обе зарепортаные

To set/update a sub-status, update status color and/or update comments and action items, if needed.

To review status, who and when updated it, find a needed sub-status-card.

Status Expiration Period

Unit overall status and sub-statuses can expire after a certain period of time. After this period the system displays the status as outdated and requires the status update.

The expiration period is a subject of application configuration.
