Project analysis is based on the information that you can record for each activity in the Customizing (IMG) project. We refer to "IMG activities", but you can also record and analyze status information for project IMG structure nodes.
You can analyze data for a single project or for several projects, depending on the scope of your project or the purpose of your analysis.
Call up the report or a previously defined variant:
You can also analyze your Customizing project in the project administration.
Select a project in the project overview.

or an existing variant in the structure tree.
You can analyze one or more projects by the following criteria:

The following project analysis scenarios are possible:
Planned activities without actual data
The system analyzes all activities whose planned start falls within the period you specified for
Planned Start
and for which no actual status information yet exists.
Analysis criteria:
Project number(s)
,
Planned start
period,
Current resources
=
initial (no values)
,
Remaining resources
= initial
(no values)
Activities not yet completed
The system analyzes all activities for which the planned project end falls within the period you specified for
Planned End
, and which are not yet 100% complete.
Analysis criteria:
Project number(s)
,
Planned End
period,
Percentage complete
< 100.
All activities started
The system analyzes all activities for which the actual project start (from the actual status information data) falls within the period you specified for
Project Start
, and for which the actual project end is still open.
Analysis criteria:
Project number(s)
,
Project start
period,
Project end
= initial
(no value)
All completed activities
The system analyzes all activities for which the actual project end (from the actual status information data) falls within the specified analysis period.
Analysis criteria:
Project number(s)
,
Project End
period
Individual analyses
You can perform individual analyses, as well as the analysis scenarios above, and define them as your default analyses. To be able to compare individual values in the analysis result to each other, you can calculate column totals.
Example
For example, you are implementing several projects and find that the planned resources calculated are incorrect and that you will probably need more time.
To check the relation of the planned resources to the current resources, you analyze all activities that are not yet 100% complete. Then you calculate the total for the
Planned Resources
,
Current Resources
and
Remaining Resources
columns on the basis of the analysis result.
Analysis criteria:
Project number(s)
,
Planned resources
,
Current resources
,
Remaining resources
,
Percentage complete
< 100.
