Start with five columns: revenue forecast, final forecast, contribution margin, contribution margin (%) and variance to budget. They answer whether the projects are earning what they should. Save the setup as a shared table profile, so the whole management team sees the same thing.
Recommended setup
Revenue forecast and final forecast: Expected revenue and cost when the project is finished.
Contribution margin and contribution margin (%): Expected result in kroner and percent.
Variance to budget: Shows which projects have moved the most since the estimate.
Posted and degree of completion (optional): Shows how far the project has come.
Project manager and department: Makes it easy to filter and to know who to ask.
