Manage Project Health Indicators

Health Indicators are manually controlled colored (green, yellow and red) indicators used to indicate the health of a project as it applies to one or more aspects of the project. There are ten Health Indicators that can be configured for a Project: Scope, Schedule, Cost, Resource, Risk, Communication, Procurement, Integration, Quality, and Project Spotlight.

Note: Eclipse PPM administrators can rename and add descriptions to any of the Project Health Indicators. Some of the indicators listed above might be named differently because of this.
