Overview
When projects are assessed, the assessment lets the audience know how well a project is doing in meeting its targeted completion and why the target may not be met. The Manager Assessment provides information on project status and the Assessment Notes provide additional details. These instructions show you how to assess your project in Planview.
Note:
- You must create a work portfolio before generating a status report.
- The Assessment Status is updated in the portfolio view while the Assessment Notes are updated in the Work and Resource Management drill-down for the specific project.
Navigation: Work > Work Portfolios > (select work portfolio) > Portfolio View
