About Project Bubble Charts

Bubble charts can give you powerful insights into your projects by allowing you to show projects in a 2 dimensional chart, with each project represented by a bubble. Bubble charts provide extensive parameter options.

• Various parameters can be used as the X axis and the Y axis. Both axes allow for choosing from a set of discrete properties of projects or from a set of values that can vary with time as the project proceeds. Discrete properties include: classification field, alignment mode, programs, process area, division, strategies, custom field of type list, or finance aggregate, etc. The time-varying status/values include: % completion, risk, finances, etc.
• The X and Y axes can be swapped for a visual rearrangement of the bubbles.
• The size of the bubbles can be driven by various parameters. This can be fixed size or be based on effort, team members (including and excluding TBD), and finance aggregate.
• The color of the bubbles can be driven by various parameters. The bubble color can be fixed or based on completion status, risk or schedule

Like the other dashboards you can mouse over the bubbles for more information, and you can click on the chart to further drill down. When you maximize the component you can view the dashboard component legends like the bubble color, and size.

If Finance Aggregate values are chosen as the parameter for the axes or for the bubble size, then additional dependent filters are shown to determine which finance values will be used for the chart.
