People Variance Report

Difference between scheduled and actual (timesheet) hours

Updated this week

The People Variance Report displays differences between scheduled and actual hours, organized by day, week, month, or quarter.

IMPORTANT - Read more about how Runn accounts for scheduled vs. actual hours, placeholders, and tentative projects in the Runn Metrics Glossary.


Suitable if you are looking to report metrics for:

  • Produce a report focused on comparing the difference between the actual and scheduled hours by person

  • Produce a daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly report

  • Produce a report based on a customized date range

This report might not be right if you need to:

  • Project Budget & total Project Financials

  • Compare actuals vs scheduled hours by projects


Customize the Report

Default Settings

Tentative Projects are Excluded

Tentative projects are excluded by default, as actual hours cannot be recorded against tentative projects.

Placeholders are Excluded

Placeholders are excluded by default, so only the scheduled hours added to people are used for comparison with the actuals.


Example:

Identify people whose actual hours are more than the scheduled hours in the past 6 months

As a Resource Manager, I want to know who is working much more than scheduled, so I can remind the project managers to create more realistic plans and no one is overburdened.

I want to create a report displaying the difference between the scheduled and actual hours for each person in past 6 months.

Creating the custom report:

  • Go to Reports > Variance

  • Time Period > Select Date Range > Set it as the past 6 months

  • Click on the column header Difference to sort by the column

  • Click Create Report
