Impact Diagram

Use

The Impact Diagram shows how an initiative impacts the performance of a KPI by showing the performance of a KPI over the initiative's time period. It also shows a Gantt chart of the initiative and its milestones and submilestones so that you can see the timeline visually. By looking at milestones over time, you can identify if they are impacting the performance of KPIs.

Features

You can do the following with the Impact Diagram:

• You can slide the time bar from the left and right to narrow or increase the range of information and time periods.

• Select a different KPI to view the impact the initiative has on it.

• Select a different initiative in the Initiatives Summary to see the impact of the current KPI on the initiative.

• Display values for the KPI at a point in time by resting the cursor over a data point in the chart. You can see the actual or target value and the period in which this value is reported.

• Display dates and values for the initiative, milestones, or submilestones in the Gantt chart by resting the cursor over a bar. You can see the start date, target date, and completed date, if available.
