Portfolio Cockpit — Your Operational Control Center
DigitalCore doesn't rely on scattered modules—it brings everything together into a single, unified interface: the Portfolio Cockpit. This cockpit is your command center for tracking, reviewing, and managing the strategic and tactical health of your services.
🧭 Where It All Happens: The “Solutions” Tab
Inside the Portfolio Cockpit, the Solutions tab is where operational work happens.
-
You'll see a list of your solutions within the selected Portfolio.
-
For each solution, DigitalCore presents real-time KPI visuals across four key areas:
-
✅ Performance
-
✅ Compliance
-
✅ Financial (P&L)
-
✅ Capacity
-
These visuals are automatically updated as data is fed into the system—either via manual check-ins or bulk CSV uploads.
📊 What Are You Seeing?
The default view shows a current-year dashboard with monthly KPI progression for each category. Each card (e.g., Compliance, Financial) is interactive:
-
Click to drill down into the selected KPI category.
-
You’ll enter the Check-In interface, where you can:
-
Create a new yearly plan (if one doesn’t exist yet)
-
Pull in all configured Solution Components
-
Enter or edit month-by-month data
-
View historical values for comparison
-
🔄 All updates made in the Check-In view immediately refresh your cockpit visuals—no extra steps needed.
🔧 Managing Components: The Building Blocks
KPI logic is controlled through the Components section, separate from the cockpit.
-
Performance & Compliance: Define metrics, thresholds, and scoring logic
-
Commercial Terms (P&L): Set up revenue and cost structures
-
Balanced Scorecards: Choose from a library of templates and customize weightings
💡 Components are shared across solutions—once defined, they can be reused for consistency and maturity scaling.
🧠 Strategic Planning with Roadmaps & OKRs
Strategic planning is driven by Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).
-
Each Objective can be linked to one or more Key Results
-
Key Results are then connected to Roadmap Items, which:
-
Can be tied to Solutions, Portfolios, or Governance Cases
-
Track initiative progress and timeline
-
Bridge the tactical layer (execution) with strategic intent
-
🧭 This structure creates traceability from outcomes all the way up to long-term strategy.
🗂️ Governance Cases: Structured Oversight
Governance is handled in its own dedicated section of the platform.
In the Governance Cases area, you can:
-
Create and assign cases to people or services
-
Link cases to Roadmap Items, Projects, or Portfolios
-
Track review decisions and document actions
-
Comment and collaborate across teams
Cases are part of a broader project lifecycle, integrated with DigitalCore’s project and portfolio tracking tables (as covered in our earlier discussions).
🚀 Data Input Options
You can feed data into the cockpit in two ways:
-
Manual Check-Ins via the UI (in the Solution tab → drill-down)
-
Bulk Uploads through the Operations tab, using generated templates based on linked components
Both methods refresh the cockpit dashboard in real time for current-year visibility.
