Reading the BST11 Dashboard

The exact screen your team opens in BST11 · the Project & Resource Management dashboard · rebuilt with Oakhaven at the center and the rest of Grace's book of work around it. Three tabs, every column named the way the software names it.

Module 2 › Finance tools › BST11 Dashboard Explainer

What this page shows. A faithful recreation of the BST11 Project & Resource Management dashboard · the same three tabs, panels, columns and totals your team sees in the software, populated with training data so you can practice reading it.Illustrative data

Two levels, one screen. The first two tabs are the project view · one project manager (Dana Reyes), with Oakhaven Public Safety Campus selected. The third tab, My Portfolio Alerts, is the firm view · every Grace project ranked by risk.

How to read the color keys. Columns that need explaining carry a small colored number in the header. At the bottom of each panel, a color-keyed legend links that number to its definition, in the same words as the BST11 field reference. Colors group the fields by meaning: navy = the plan / fee, amber = effort spent, green = revenue earned, purple = performance ratios, red = variance / risk, blue = cash & aging, teal = schedule.
