KPIs & Metrics

Every metric that matters - in one cockpit instead of five spreadsheets.

Your KPIs are generated automatically from your project work, roll up from project to portfolio, and stay current - not just on report Friday.

Still steering with last week's numbers?

KPIs rarely fail for lack of will - they fail because nobody maintains them. Sound familiar?

Copied together from five tools

For every status report, the same number is moved by hand from spreadsheet, board and email onto the slide.

Outdated by report Friday

By the time the metric is presented, it no longer holds.

“Where do we stand?”

When leadership asks, the scramble begins instead of the answer.

Every team counts differently

Without a shared definition, one team's “done” is another's “almost done”.

Metrics that keep themselves up to date

WORKSPACE.PM captures, aggregates and monitors your KPIs - without anyone maintaining spreadsheets.

01

Capture automatically

Metrics come from tasks, dates, budgets and risks - not from extra busywork.

02

Aggregate per module

Every module brings its own KPI strip right along with it.

03

Roll up

From project to program to portfolio - aggregated automatically.

04

Warn early

Thresholds and reviews speak up before a metric tips over.

Everywhere you work

Every module brings its metrics along

Risks, opportunities, strategy, portfolio, programs, the project one-pager - every view has its own KPI strip. You no longer hunt for a metric; it's already there, where you work.

  • KPI tiles in the risk, opportunity, strategy and portfolio views
  • Always in context - no separate reporting software
  • Consistent definitions across all teams

Your own KPIs

Turn any field into a metric

Pin any custom field as a metric onto the project one-pager - from a supplier traffic-light status to NPS. The opt-in KPI strip shows exactly the numbers that matter for your project.

  • Pin any custom field as a KPI
  • Opt-in KPI strip on the one-pager
  • Pinned metrics flow straight into the report

Prioritize with data

Which initiative delivers the most - and costs the least?

The demand portfolio analysis plots every request as a bubble chart: axes freely chosen from risk, score, cost and benefit. The financial KPI strip shows net present value, return and estimated cost at a glance.

  • Financial KPIs: net present value, return, cost, benefit
  • Prioritize by data, not by gut feeling

From project to portfolio

Your PMO sees the sum, not the pieces

Metrics aggregate automatically from project to program to portfolio. The PMO cockpit shows aggregated health, budget and status values - without anyone merging spreadsheets.

  • Automatic aggregation across all levels
  • Portfolio health, budget utilization, status distribution
  • Metrics at every level: project, program, portfolio

Agile metrics

Burndown, velocity and cycle time - without an extra tool

For every agile project, WORKSPACE.PM computes the classic Scrum metrics from your sprint and backlog data: burndown of the current sprint, velocity history, cumulative flow and cycle time.

  • Real-time sprint burndown
  • Velocity and cycle-time history
  • Cumulative flow and sprint history

Strategy in view

One health score for the entire strategy

The strategy dashboard condenses all objectives into a health score, shows the status distribution and immediately draws attention to at-risk goals. Leaders grasp the state of the corporate strategy in seconds.

  • Strategy health score with history
  • Status distribution and at-risk objectives
  • Budget balance per strategic field

Endlessly extensible

Missing a metric? Build it yourself.

Beyond the built-in tiles, admins create their own dashboard widgets with real code - with a snippet library as a starting point and a live preview that renders instantly against sample data.

  • Your own widgets in the code editor
  • Live preview against sample data
  • Scope of your choice: project or portfolio

AI writes along

Describe the widget - the AI builds it, tests it, shows the diff.

Instead of coding it yourself, just describe in the chat below the code editor what the tile should show. The AI writes the code, tests it immediately in the real sandbox, and presents a validated proposal as a diff - nothing is applied until you review it. Every change is also captured in the version history and can be rolled back to an earlier state at any time.

  • AI writes and self-tests the code
  • Proposal shown as a diff before you apply it
  • Version history with rollback to earlier states

Metrics that don't feel like a second job

The most common reason for dead KPI spreadsheets: upkeep costs time nobody has. With WORKSPACE.PM the number appears on its own.

From the work, not beside it

Metrics come from tasks, dates and budgets - no separate upkeep.

The AI writes the summary

The AI drafts the status text for your metrics - you just curate.

Always current

Live cockpits instead of a cut-off report - the number is right whenever you look.

The next step

Metrics become reports - at the push of a button

The very KPIs that fill your cockpits flow straight into the official project reports for the PMO. Pinned metrics land as a snapshot in the report - without maintaining a single number twice.

Frequently asked questions

KPIs & Metrics

Straight from your project work: tasks, dates, budgets, risks and sprints. Most KPIs are generated automatically - with no manual entry.

Yes. Any custom field can be pinned as a metric onto the one-pager. Only for freely computed tiles is there also the code editor for admins.

Yes - metrics roll up automatically from project to program to portfolio. The PMO cockpit shows aggregated health, budget and status values.

Yes. Alongside agile metrics (burndown, velocity, cycle time), earned-value metrics are available as a dedicated report.

The cockpits show the current state as soon as the underlying data changes - no nightly batch, no manual refresh.
