Linked projects’ progress
Σ (contribution × progress) = 75.4% points ÷ shares counted 100% = 75.4%
Initiative progress
The initiative runs wholly through its projects, so its progress is theirs: 75.4%

Impact KPIs & benefits
Measured apart from delivery progress: an initiative can be well advanced with no impact yet, and the other way round
Impact KPIs
The strategic KPIs the initiative moves
Actual 77Target 95%Attained 81%
Actual 3.05Target 4.25SAR MAttained 72%
Benefits
Benefits registered for its projects, planned vs realised
- Staff hours saved by HR automation3,450 / 3,200 hours / month
- Paper and printing savings70 / 60 SAR thousand
- Faster routing of correspondence3.2 / 1.5 days
These KPIs and benefits do not enter the weighted progress above, and progress does not enter them.
Three separate measures
An example from this initiative: Chamber ERP on Dynamics 365
1Deliverable weight in the project
40.0%
Weight of «Build» among its deliverables
Deliverable weights add up to 100% inside the project; it progresses as they are accepted.
See where it comes from2Project weight in the portfolio
16.4%
Its relative weight in Technology & Enterprise Systems Portfolio
Set by the project weight model; it feeds portfolio progress: relative weight × actual progress.
See where it comes from3Contribution to the initiative
60%
Its contribution to «Dynamics 365 for resources and members»
Approved by strategy management; it feeds this initiative’s progress only.
Each is set in its own place and moves neither of the others: changing a deliverable’s weight touches neither the project’s portfolio weight nor its contribution.
