The Portfolio Overview page allows you to see the current performance and progress of a Portfolio, with all its associated Folios. It is subdivided into four sections: Summary, Health, Financial and Budget vs Actual. It allows you to get a quick overview and to navigate to individual Folios directly through links.

Health

The Health section of the overview shows EVM metrics of the Portfolio itself along with the same metrics for each Folio belonging to it. Portfolio metrics are computed based on the aggregated information of its Folios.

The following table describes the various fields of the health section. More details on various EVM metrics can be found in documentation of the Folio Overview.

On Budget (Cost Variance) / CV	Determines if the portfolio or project is under or over the budget. It is computed by subtracting the Actual Cost from the Earned Value and then dividing by the Earned Value. A negative value indicates that the project is over budget.
On Time (Schedule Variance) / SV	Determines whether the portfolio or project is ahead or behind schedule. It is computed by subtracting the Planned Value to date from the Earned Value and then dividing by the Planned Value to date. A negative value indicates that the project is behind schedule.
Cost Performance Index / CPI	Determines how efficiently the team is using its resources. It is computed by dividing the Earned Value by the Actual Cost. A value lower than one indicates a loss of efficiency.
Schedule Performance Index / SPI	Determines how efficiently the project team is using its time. It is computed by dividing the Earned Value by the Planned Value to date. A value lower than one indicates a loss of efficiency.
