Linked projects’ progress
Σ (contribution × progress) = 42.4% points ÷ shares counted 100% = 42.4%
Initiative progress
The initiative runs wholly through its projects, so its progress is theirs: 42.4%

Impact KPIs & benefits
Measured apart from delivery progress: an initiative can be well advanced with no impact yet, and the other way round
Impact KPIs
The strategic KPIs the initiative moves
Actual 73Target 85%Attained 86%
Benefits
Benefits registered for its projects, planned vs realised
- Solar energy generated9,800 / 31,000 MWh / year
- Value of energy delivered to the public grid65 / 232.5 SYP million
These KPIs and benefits do not enter the weighted progress above, and progress does not enter them.
Three separate measures
An example from this initiative: 20 MW Qalamoun Solar Field
1Deliverable weight in the project
38.0%
Weight of «Civil works» among its deliverables
Deliverable weights add up to 100% inside the project; it progresses as they are accepted.
See where it comes from2Project weight in the portfolio
20.9%
Its relative weight in Energy & Water Portfolio
Set by the project weight model; it feeds portfolio progress: relative weight × actual progress.
See where it comes from3Contribution to the initiative
70%
Its contribution to «Renewable energy & non-conventional water»
Approved by strategy management; it feeds this initiative’s progress only.
Each is set in its own place and moves neither of the others: changing a deliverable’s weight touches neither the project’s portfolio weight nor its contribution.
Risks, obstacles & deviations
The initiative’s own risks and obstacles, the highest open risks of its projects, and the budget and schedule deviation.

Obstacle in the wayMediumOpen
The desalination plant is on hold pending an investment-plan allocation
Response: Put it to the project approval committee with an updated feasibility study
