What is the Project Health Score in Profit.co?

Category: PPM

The Project Health Score in Profit.co helps organizations visually assess the current state of a project during its lifecycle. When a project enters the In Progress stage, this feature automatically indicates whether the project is On Track, At Risk, or In Trouble, based on its progress and performance metrics.

What is the Project Health Score?

The Project Health Score represents the current condition of a project based on its progress percentage. It is a visual indicator that helps project owners and stakeholders assess whether a project is moving as planned, facing delays, or encountering major issues.

When a project enters the In Progress stage, the system evaluates its progress and assigns one of the following health statuses:

  • In Trouble: Major issues, unlikely to succeed without intervention.
  • At Risk: Delays or issues that may affect delivery but are recoverable.
  • On Track: Progress is as planned, with no major issues.

How to Configure Project Health Score in PPM Settings?

  • You can enable and define the Project Health Score by following these steps:
  • Navigate to Settings → Portfolios and Projects → Projects → Stages.
  • Click on the In Progress stage.
  • When you expand the dropdown, you will see the Health Status options In Trouble, At Risk, and On Track.
  • Define progress thresholds for each level. For example:
                  In Trouble – 10%
                 At Risk – 30%
                 On Track – 80%
  • Ensure the toggle is enabled for each status to activate them.

Once configured, these values automatically determine a project’s health status based on its progress percentage. The health indicator will appear in the Project Overview page under the In Progress stage.

The health status dynamically updates as the project’s progress percentage changes.

In the example below, the project is currently In Progress with 37% progress, and the Health Status shows On Track.

Why It Matters?

1. Instant Visibility

Quickly see whether projects are On Track, At Risk, or In Trouble, all from one view. This eliminates guesswork and allows teams to focus on projects needing attention.

2. Proactive Management

With clear indicators, project managers can identify risks early and take timely corrective action before small issues escalate.

The Impact

The Project Health Score empowers teams to move beyond static reporting toward real-time, insight-driven project management. Visualizing performance data supports informed decision-making, enhances accountability, and strengthens delivery outcomes.
