At Aegis, we care about the quality of everything we do, and that extends to quality of life improvements in our Software. With Analytics 5.1, we introduce a variety of small changes that when added up deliver a huge quality of life improvement of our service that we think you will love. From score improvements to new customizability to even more ways to view your data, Aegis Analytics continues to evolve and provide you with unparalleled insight into even the most complex of schedules. Welcome to 5.1!

What’s New?

• We’ve tweaked our QC score metrics to drill down to give you a more dynamic view of your project’s health.
• We’ve improved the Schedules Tab to give you better access to important schedule data, and the ability to modify the selected cost baseline.
• Our gantt chart has been modified to show Data Date indicators, letting you see due dates at a glance.
• Schedule Reports can now be grouped by activity or WBS codes, and even saved for later or iterative review.
• Data load times across the board have been improved by an average of 80%

Introducing Higher Quality in your Quality Control Scores.

We’ve introduced new metrics and updated some old metrics that will impact your project’s Quality Score to give you a more accurate view of your project’s health. Many of these new metrics can also be viewed on the Schedule Analysis Component.

• Out of Sequence activities now have variable impacts based on criticality
• Hard Constraints now include “Start On”, “Finish On”, and “As Late as Possible” constraints
• We’ve added “Open Start” – an activity’s only predecessors are FF relationships – and “Open Finish” – an activity’s only successors are SS relationships – to the QC Metrics
• High Duration updated to use Remaining Duration instead of Original Duration
• High Float threshold has been updated to 80 days + Critical float

Gantt Charts that give you the outlooks you need.

Gantt Charts now have the ability to show Data Date indicators right in the chart so you can see at a glance your project’s most important deadlines compared to other projects in your Gantt.

Like that Schedule Report? Save it.

Schedule Reports can now be grouped by WBS or Activity Code and even saved for future or iterative review over updates. You can also continue to customize your Schedule Reports using the previously introduced metrics to create reports that outline the data you need most, every time.

New Components for your Consideration.

We’ve updated some old components and added new components that we think will give you yet more unique looks into your schedule’s composition and overview.

• Schedule Updates has been Updated to allow for a schedule to be selected as the Cost Baseline separate from the general Baseline.
• We’ve introduced a Schedule Compression Component in the Schedule Analysis Tab to review the compression index and activities per day metrics over various updates.
• The Schedules – Manage tab has been updated to provide more data fields, allowing for a complete and easy schedule matrix export.

Quality we care about.

At Aegis, we’re constantly improving our products based on feedback from Customers and Users of our software. If you have a feature you’d like to see added, or find a bug you think we should know about, our “Report Feedback” has moved to the Help Menu in the top right under “Contact Us”. We value every piece of feedback we get, and hope you enjoy Analytics 5.1 to the fullest! We have some very exciting new features in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

What’s new?

• Cost tracking is finally integrated into Analytics, with budgets, completion costs, and historic performances all ready to view!
• New tabs for tracking cost, schedule analysis metrics, reporting, and an overhauled overview tab allow for easy access to the most important data
• Unlimited milestone tracking! The milestone component is no longer restricted to five milestones
• All pages in the project view can now be exported to PDF from the project menu, replacing the executive report
• The portfolio page layout can be modified, saved, and swapped to your heart’s content. We also included a new Gantt view for visual feedback on your portfolio’s health and status!

Bust out the party hats and get ready for the bash; let’s open up the presents and see what we have to celebrate with!

Cost tracking, welcome to the party!

We are introducing our newest feature: cost tracking! Using our innovative new tab and components (beta), you can take costs from your schedule and plot and track your project’s planned, current, and at-completion costs. They certainly know how to make an entrance!

We’ve also added a new banner on the portfolio page, allowing you to filter for all cost loaded projects, and review past performance, as well as your portfolio’s upcoming costs.

Put it on our tabs.

We are introducing not one but three new tabs! Not only are we introducing our new cost tab (beta), but our new analysis tab contains your schedule comparison tools and a new schedule impact analysis component that identifies progress and logic change impacts in your schedules!

Finally, the reports tab provides access to your entire schedule in a Gantt chart, allowing you to filter, group, and export your reports, all without having to open P6! Our analysis and reporting components will be expanded on in a future release.

Take milestone tracking to the next level.

Due to processing constraints, Aegis Analytics has had a 5-milestone limit for through-tracking during a project’s lifecycle until now. Our crack team of engineers has broken through this limitation and given us the green light to announce that you can now track to your heart’s content! Do you have a milestone that you want to add, remove, or change? No problem. We now have a tab for editing tracked milestones at any time in the project admin window.

Like what you see? Export it.

Instead of the old executive summary, all pages can now be exported directly into PDFs. Downloading and sharing tabs in your project has never been easier. We also overhauled our overview tab design to show you the most important high-level information.

No party is complete without a bit of dress-up. Check out our portfolio view glow-up.

We’ve massively overhauled our portfolio page, adding features that we hope will make using Analytics more engaging and useful.

Portfolio page – project list gantt view

We’ve added a Gantt view to our project listing view types so you can get visual feedback on project progress without doing the math yourself.

Portfolio page – column selector

We’ve added a column selector to the portfolio page project list, allowing you to focus on the data that is important to your projects!

Portfolio page – layouts

We’ve given you complete control over managing your layout in Analytics. You can save your preferred filters, banner, project list view, and data columns. Create several different layout options depending on what you want to see. This is all saved to your account so you can access your favorite views from wherever you are!

Break out the party favors!

We have so much we want to highlight, and no party would be complete without party favors:

• Loading speed improvements—We’ve drastically changed how data is fetched from our backend, which has resulted in an overall increase in speed across the application.
• Large project optimizations and performance improvements—We’ve examined how megaproject schedules are analyzed in our report generator and made some important tweaks and process improvements to speed up performance and reliability!
• UI cleanup and clarity—In this release, we spent a lot of time reviewing our application and making the user experience more friendly and cohesive. This also included a complete upgrade of our front-end engine to make things snappier and more responsive.

We think this party will be one to remember, and you’re invited! To get started using our v5.0 update, visit https://dashboards.consultaegis.com now!

What’s new?

• We’ve added several new graphs and components and updated a few of our old ones to give you better graphical insight into your schedules using our state-of-the-art technology.
• Improvements to our tight integrations between Risk Register entries and our Cloud Monte Carlo simulations allow increases in speed, performance, and accuracy.

Making waves with new displays.

We’ve added new charts, graphs and exportable reports to make you the talk of the office. Our Progress Trending Chart and Schedule Comparison give users deep insights into the inner workings of project controls.

• The new Progress Trending component allows you to review your project’s planned vs. actual progress based on the original and remaining durations.
• The Activity Completion component can now be filtered by Activity Codes (if available in the XER)
• We’ve also added a toggle to view activities planned for 30, 60, and 90 days from the date of your latest schedule
• We’ve implemented a Schedule Comparison Gantt chart, which allows you to spot changes to your overall schedule quickly. Filter for critical activities and add one of our pre-set filters to view changes to your schedule’s activities, durations, progress, constraints, or logic.

Integration at your fingertips, at a speed you can’t ignore.

We’ve further integrated Monte Carlo and Risk Register into project controls standards, making the simulation an integral part to schedule monitoring and assessment. We have also continued to make our calculation process even faster to facilitate on-the-fly changes and timely decision-making.

Baselines. Re-baselined.

• We’ve added the ability to re-baseline projects, and adjust the Finish Milestone for existing/new schedules.
• If the existing Finish Milestone no longer exists in the uploaded schedule, you’ll be required to select a new Finish Milestone before submitting.
• You can review & adjust existing schedules’ milestones by clicking the “Edit” icon on the Schedules tab

Import more risks, and export more insights.

We’ve significantly improved our Risk Register Import, allowing you to import more of the data you already have to reduce human error and increase the accuracy and insight you can get from your integrated Risk Register.

Risk register as a Service. Reactive Risk 1.0 releases today.

We received so much interest and feedback in the cloud risk register that we’ve made it an additional standalone product that we are releasing along with our lineup of other products. For the technical-minded, features such as API access are coming very soon.

Access to the Rhinoworks Shop Manual. Take command of your roadster schedules.

We’ve built an incredible racing machine of an Analytical platform, and now we’re giving you access to our Shop Manual at https://docs.rhino.works/ so you can become the product expert in your office using the instructions and guidelines from the developers who built the roadster themselves.

Give your clients a portfolio view to rival any Excel sheet.

Individual client companies can now be added to your Analytics Account and be given read access to their portfolio of projects without impacting your license count. Clients can sign in with their e-mails and view their project portfolio, and even keep their own project data seperate from yours, giving them a portfolio view to rival any Excel sheet, included with your Aegis Analytics professional license, free of charge.

We’re always making more.

Analytics is continually growing and encompassing more of the project controls workflow. If you have a feature you’re excited about and want us to implement, let us know at apps@consultaegis.com
