Looking for a Fever Chart Template in Excel?
QI Macros has a Ready-Made Fever Chart Template for Excel!
Why it Matters: Use a fever chart to show project status and to identify problems.
A Fever Chart is a valuable tool for Critical Chain Project Management and Theory of Constraints (TOC). The Fever Chart tracks project status using the ratio of two metrics:
- The percent of the critical chain completed divided by
- The percent of buffer consumed.
The ratio indicates the status of a project as it moves through three areas of the chart:
Green = on-time
Yellow = at risk
Red = late
How to Create a Fever Chart using QI Macros template
- Open the "TOC Cloud and Reality Tree" template found in the "Diagrams" drop-down menu and select the "Fever Chart" tab:
- Put % of critical chain completed in column A and % buffer time consumed in column B.
- Points in the green zone indicate the project is on or ahead of schedule. Red and yellow zones suggest the need for intervention.
