Release Phase

Release Phase iCube enables you to create ad hoc reports that can be used to extract information about releases such as actual duration of the releases, schedule variance, delay duration and so on. Using the Release Phase iCube, Project Managers can gain insights into important business questions such as:

• How is a release faring against the planned duration?
• If there is a delay in the start of the release then why is the delay, and what is the impact of this delay?
• What is the schedule variance of the releases?

Note: Release Phase supports only Digital.ai Release source system.

Date	Gregorian Calendar Date used for doing the date level analysis for Release Components
Description	The description of the Release Phase
Flag Status	Flags indicate that release phase needs attention
Flagged Flag	Indicates if release phase is flagged or not
Name	The title of the Release Phase
Overdue Flag	Flag indicating of the release phase is passed due date
Planned End Date	The date on which the release phase is supposed to end
Planned Start Date	The date on which the release phase is supposed to start
Projected Planned End Date	The date on which the Release Phase is scheduled to end and is calculated based on the specified phase duration. Note: This attribute is supported for Digital.ai Release source system only.

Metrics

Metric Name	Description	Formula	Expected Value
Actual Duration (Days)	Average Actual duration of the phase which is the difference between Actual End Date and Actual Start Date	Release Phase Actual Duration / (86400 * No of Release Phases)	>0
No of Flagged Release Phases	Count of Phases which requires immediate attention and flagged	Count([No of Release Phases])	>0
No of Overdue Release Phases	Count of the phases passed the due date	Count([No of Release Phases])	>0
No of Release Phases	Count of Phases in a release	Count([No of Release Phases])	>0
Overtime Duration (Days)	Average of Time over and above the due date of the Phase	Release Phase Overtime Duration (Days)] / No of Release Phases	>0
Planned Duration (Days)	Average planned duration of the phase which is difference between Planned End Date and Planned Start Date	Release Phase Planned Duration] / (86400 * No of Release Phases)	>0
Projected Planned Duration (Days)	Average projected duration (in days) that is planned for the Release Phase. The metric considers projected dates that are determined based on the specified phase duration. Note: This metric is supported for Digital.ai Release source system only.	[Release Phase Projected Planned Duration] / (86400 * [No of Running Release Phases])	>=0
Projected Schedule Variance (Days)	Average variance (in days) in schedule across release phases, calculated as the difference between the projected planned duration and actual duration of the release phase. The metric considers projected dates that are determined based on the specified phase duration. Note: This metric is supported for Digital.ai Release source system only.	[Release Phase Projected Schedule Variance (Days)] / [No of Running Release Phases]	>=0
Schedule Variance (Days)	Average Planned duration of the phase which is difference between Planned End Date and Planned Start Date	Release Phase Schedule Variance (Days)] / No of Release Phases	>0
Schedule Variance %	Percentage of variance in the Release Phase schedule	IF((([Release Phase Planned Duration] = 0) And ([Release Phase Actual Duration] > 0)), 1, (([Release Phase Actual Duration] - [Release Phase Planned Duration]) / [Release Phase Planned Duration]))	>=0% or <=0%
Start Delay Duration (Days)	Displays the average number of days lost in starting the release with respect to the scheduled start date of the release.	Release Phase Start Delay Duration] / (86400 * No of Release Phases)	>0
