The Planned Revenues page allows you to enter all Consulting and Non-consulting revenues you expect the Folio will generate during its lifespan.  Non-consulting revenues are added to one of two main categories: Operating or Non-operating. Non-consulting revenues can be single occurrence or recurrent ones.  Consulting revenues are the team positions you plan will do work that will be billed and generate revenue, such as Developer #1, Technical Coach #1 , etc. Consulting revenues are categorized as Operating.  Information entered here will be used to provide project health metrics on the Overview page and shown as a reference on the Revenues Forecast chart.
