Tower Prior Year RAG Status

The Tower Prior Year RAG Status dashboard provides a clear snapshot of year-over-year spend performance across technology towers and sub-towers. It uses RAG indicators to show how current Spend YTD is tracking against Prior Year Spend YTD, helping you quickly understand where spend has increased, decreased, or remained stable.

How to read this report

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

  • Current year Spend YTD

  • Prior year Spend YTD

  • Variance and percentage change

The RAG status visually highlights whether spend is above, below, or in line with the prior year for the selected period.

What this report shows

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

  • Sub-tower spend performance compared to the prior year

  • Clear RAG indicators to highlight year-over-year changes in spend

Key benefits

Using the Tower Prior Year RAG Status report, you can:

  • Quickly assess year-over-year spend trends across towers

  • Identify sub-towers with significant increases or reductions in spend
