Strategic Health
About Health
Health is a customisable calculation involving a number of key values, that separately have an important role, but together can provide a great deal of strategic intelligence to the organisation (output – progress, outcome – metrics and risk). The Health calculation is used to aggregate both the subjective and structured data associated with a blocks delivery and produce an overall performance status.
The Health Calculation Definitions table lists all the health calculations defined for your company. Each calculation takes the status of the block, its attached metrics and risks, and produces a status ‘health’ value. An administrator can change the weight of each factor by changing the tolerance ranges. The default calculation is used by all blocks automatically, unless the block’s manager overrides it at the block level.

This will take you to a new page where you will be enter the new definition title, description and variance weights depending on how important they are to this definitions health. The difference weightings are: progress, metrics and risk.
You will decide whether the block’s health will be skewed by priority with the “Priority Skew” Yes/No switch. If yes then high priority blocks will be skewed to be more positive or more negative. Low priority blocks will be less positive and less negative.
You will also define your positive and negative tolerance ranges. Anything below the negative tolerance range is considered bad, anything above the positive tolerance is good and anything in the middle is in a warning. These are usually represented with the red, blue and orange colours.
