Rocketlane enables you to track and understand revenue and profitability effectively across your portfolio of projects for a given time period. These reports also facilitate accurate revenue forecasting and aid in financial planning and analysis. 


This report helps you analyze revenue for a chosen time period, such as the last quarter, and determine if you are on track with your revenue forecast for that same period.


> You can view detailed information on the revenue generated from your projects for example, if you wish to track the revenue made from fixed fee projects for a specific region, you can apply a filter to display all projects tagged to the North America region. This information will be available under the fixed fee tab in the portfolio reports.

 

Time Period - By default, the time period for the report will be “this quarter,” but you can click on the time period and change the duration to your preference.


Note: All values you see in the reports are based on the time period you have chosen


Filter - Lets you view data on a granular level by providing options to segment and analyse data.
