Plan reliability

Use the Plan Reliability charts on the Overview tab to see how far your plan can be trusted. For example, if 5 activities are planned to start on 5 dates and only 3 start as planned, plan reliability by start date is 60%.

Lean PlanDo shows plan reliability by three measures, each in its own pie chart:

• start date
• duration
• end date

Read the charts

In a sample project, plan reliability by activity start date was:

• 50.5% of activities started as planned.
• 43.4% started later than their original planned start dates.
• 6.1% started earlier than planned.

The duration and end date charts read the same way. The higher the planned and earlier shares, the more reliable the plan, and the more likely the project finishes on time.
