🏠 Executive Summary - Your Delivery at a Glance

🧭 Overview

The Executive Summary is the default landing page in KnowHOW - designed to give leaders a single, unified view of delivery performance across their organization.
It highlights overall health, key trends, and improvement areas across Speed, Quality, Value, and DORA, helping decision-makers focus on where attention is needed most.

💡 In one view, you can understand how your delivery ecosystem is performing and where to act.

🎯 Why It Matters

In large delivery organizations, it’s easy to lose sight of how projects are performing collectively.
The Executive Summary eliminates that gap by offering:

• A bird’s-eye view of all active programs or portfolios

• Near real-time indicators of strengths and risks

• A maturity-based performance summary that translates delivery health into actionable insights

📈 It transforms scattered metrics into a clear, decision-ready view.

⚙️ What You’ll See

🔹 Top Metrics Panel

• Overall Health Overview – See how many programs are Healthy, At Risk, or Critical

• Average Efficiency – A single score reflecting delivery performance across all dimensions

• Category Highlights – Quick insight into Speed, Quality, Value, and DORA maturity levels

🟢 Green → Performing well  🟡 Yellow → Needs attention  🔴 Red → Critical risk

🔹 Performance by Program

• A clear table showing each program or project’s health across the key dimensions of Speed, Quality, Value, and DORA

• Visual cues and color-coded tiles make it easy to spot strong performers and those needing focus

• Sort and filter to analyze performance at different hierarchy levels

🔹 Trends & Highlights

• KnowHOW automatically surfaces Top Positive and Top Negative KPI trends

• View key risks and improvement opportunities in one place

• Directional arrows and % changes quickly indicate where delivery performance is improving or declining

• For each KPI, the system uses its fixed evaluation window, reads the start and end values, and computes the percent change as: trendValue = ((end − start) / |start|) × 100. Each KPI includes a predefined impact direction indicating whether an increase represents a positive or negative outcome

🔹 Maturity & Efficiency Snapshot

• A simple, color-coded visual showing overall maturity across Speed, Quality, Value, and DORA

• Aggregated scores indicate how balanced your delivery practices are across categories

• Enables quick identification of systemic improvement opportunities

Project Health Calculation Logic

Project Health provides a unified view of delivery performance across key categories - Speed, Quality, Value, and DORA. Each category is driven by its underlying KPIs, which are translated into maturity scores (M1–M5) based on predefined thresholds.

How It’s Calculated

1. KPI Scoring:
   Each KPI is converted to a maturity score (1–5) using defined benchmark thresholds.

2. Category Scoring:
   The category score is the weighted average of its KPI maturity scores, capped from 1 to 5.

3. Overall Project Efficiency Score (PES):
   Each category contributes to the overall PES based on its configured weight:
   PES = Σ [category_weight × category_score]
   KPI Category weights are as follows: SPEED 25%, QUALITY 25%, VALUE 25%, DORA 25%.

4. Project Efficiency Percent (PE%):
   PES is normalized to a 0–100 scale for easier interpretation:
   PE% = (PES ÷ 5) × 100

5. Health Band Classification:

   • Green (Healthy): PE% ≥ 80

   • Amber (Moderate): 50 ≤ PE% < 80

   • Red (Critical): PE% < 50

6. Handling Missing Data:
   If a category lacks sufficient data, the assessment is flagged as incomplete, i.e., the category weight is excluded.

💡 How to Use It

1. Start here – Use this view as your default check-in on delivery health.

2. Drill down – Click a program to explore detailed insights and trends.

3. Identify actions – Focus on red or declining indicators to drive improvement discussions.

4. Track progress – Review changes to gauge the impact of timely interventions.

🧭 In Summary

The Executive Summary is more than a dashboard - it’s your command center for delivery performance.
It gives executives, program managers, and engineering leaders a shared, data-driven understanding of where they stand, what’s working, and what needs improvement.
Connecting performance metrics to delivery maturity enables smarter decisions, faster action, and measurable business outcomes.
