What you get

A month of reporting, in minutes.

Every update, sorted for you

Point The Herald at a project folder. It reads the target and every update XER and sorts them by data date automatically.

The KPIs management asks for

SPI gauge and trend, progress against target, progress variance, earned this period, forecast finish with slip or recovery, and packages behind target.

A fact sheet per package

Packages and breakdowns by WBS level or any activity code, each with its own S-curve, progress bars and milestones.

Delay drivers, traced

The cause of each delay is traced from the longest path, so the report names what is driving the finish, not just how late it is.

Ready to sign

Cover with project, client and contractor logos, document control, sign-off boxes, contents and page numbers.

PDF or PowerPoint

Export a PDF in A4 landscape, or PowerPoint in any slide size: A4, A3, widescreen and more. Files are named “Project – data date”.

Many projects, one folder

Keep every project in one Projects folder, with a setup window and a session file for each.

English, Arabic and French

Reports in three languages, with full right-to-left layout for Arabic.

Works from XER files

No P6 database connection and no server. Your schedules stay on your own computer.

Your rules

Status you define. Delays you can’t miss.

Set the green, amber and red limits for SPI, progress variance and finish variance once per project. Every gauge, badge and table follows them, and delays are always shown negative and red.

  • Packages by WBS level or any activity code
  • Progress weighted by original duration, number of activities or selected resources
  • Choose which packages appear and in what order, for example worst delay first
  • Milestones you pick, and attention areas filled in by the planner

Questions

Good to know.

More answers in the help centre

No. The Herald works from XER files exported from Primavera P6. Put the target and the updates in one project folder and it does the rest.
How is progress weighted?
By original duration, by number of activities, or by the resources you select. The weighting is shown on every page.
Can I edit the report after export?
Yes. Export to PowerPoint and adjust any slide, or add the planner’s notes in The Herald before you export.
Which languages are supported?
English, Arabic (right-to-left) and French.
How is it licensed?
