Appearance
Strategy view
The Strategy view is the operational answer to "is engineering pointed at the right things". Six pre-built charts, one date range control, no configuration. Open it, scan it, act on what is broken.
This is the page a CTO opens before a board meeting. Not for slicing — for sanity-checking.
What you see
| Chart | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Effort by Strategic Driver | FTE allocation across driver categories (revenue, productivity, risk, compliance, KPI, KTLO). Are you spending where the strategy says you should? |
| Project Health Matrix | Each project plotted by timeline performance vs budget performance. Quadrants surface the projects that are late, over budget, or both. |
| CapEx / OpEx Alignment | Monthly FTE split by cost category. How much of engineering is capitalisable work versus operational? |
| Headcount Bridge | Waterfall from start-of-period headcount to end-of-period — hires, departures, transfers. |
| Skills Supply vs Demand | Role availability against open vacancies and project requirements. Where is the next hiring crunch? |
| Leave & Bench | Employee unavailability timeline — vacation, sabbatical, gardening leave. Gated by the team-employees view permission. |
Date range
A single date range picker at the top drives every chart. Default is 12 months from start of current month. The URL carries the range so you can share a link to a specific window.
Performance
Each chart loads independently — the page renders immediately and charts populate as their queries return. Slow charts do not block fast ones. If a chart errors, the others keep going.
Scenario-aware
Like every analytics surface, the strategy view runs against the active plan. Open it inside a scenario to see the strategic picture under that scenario's changes — useful for "does this restructure shift our driver mix in the right direction".
TIP
Combine the strategy view with scenario comparison. Build two scenarios for two restructuring options, then flip the strategy view between them to see which one moves the driver mix toward your stated priorities.
When to use this vs custom reports
Use the Strategy view when you want the standard executive-level questions answered fast. Use custom reports when you need a different cut — by team, by geography, by job role, against a date range the standard view does not support.
