When analyzing a portfolio, there are many criteria that you can use—budget versus actual costs, spend per month, production rates, and capital returns. All these data points can be daunting, and sometimes you want to use a single metric that captures the overall health of your projects. Primavera provides just such a metric in the project score. This can be the best of all worlds; one score representing all the items of importance to your organization, and chosen by you.
What is this project score, and where does it come from? This number is something that you can define and control so that it meets your organization's specific requirements. The score is set in the project codes. Unlike all other codes, such as activity and resource codes, project codes can be weighted. Each project code can be assigned a weight, and each value of the project code can be assigned a weight. The weighted values are then aggregated to form a score between 0 and 100.
