Tower Budget RAG Status

The Tower Budget RAG Status dashboard provides a visual snapshot of budget performance across technology towers and sub-towers, using RAG indicators to highlight how spend is tracking against budget year to date.

This report helps you quickly identify areas that are on track, at risk, or over budget, enabling faster prioritisation and corrective action.

How to read this report

Each gauge represents a sub-tower within a technology tower and compares:

  • Actual spend (YTD)

  • Budget (YTD)

  • Variance percentage

The RAG status reflects how actual spend is performing relative to the allocated budget.

What this report shows

  • Tower-level grouping (for example: Application, Compute, Data Center)

  • Sub-tower RAG status within each tower

  • Actual spend, budget, and variance for each sub-tower

  • Clear visual indicators to highlight budget overruns or underspend

Key benefits

Using the Tower Budget RAG Status report, you can:

  • Quickly assess overall budget health across technology towers

  • Identify sub-towers exceeding budget thresholds
