ICEFLO Glossary
List Tasks
In the Runbook domain, the List Tasks screen will always present the complete suite of tasks.
ICEFLO records a sustainable amount of data as to how tasks progressed through the STP Lifecycle. Allowing you to identify where losses and gains were made throughout the plan.
Below are definitions of the terminology you will require when on the List Tasks screen.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Start Time | This is the current start time of the task, for example if the task is active the start time will be the actual start time |
| End Time | This is the current end time of the task, for example if the task is active the end time will be the forecast end time |
| Duration | The time taken for the task to be completed |
| Baseline Duration |
The duration given to a task, this is stamped once the task is approved and will not change |
| Planned Duration |
The duration given to a task and the point the Runbook was approved |
| Forecast Duration |
The duration given to a task once the task has breached the planned duration the forecast time till tick forward with system time |
| Actual Duration |
The actual time taken for the task to be completed |
| Explicit Start |
A time that can be set against a task where the task cannot be started before that time, regardless of complete predecessors |
| Baseline Start | The start time of the task when the Runbook has been approved |
| Baseline End | The end time of the task when the Runbook has been approved |
| Planned Start | The start time of the task when the Runbook is Committed, if this is breached the forecast time will tick forward with system time until the task is activated |
| Planned End | The end time of the task when the Runbook is Committed, if this is breached the forecast time will tick forward with system time until the task is completed |
| Forecast Start | The start time of the task once the Runbook is Activated, once planned start time is breached the forecast time will tick forward with system time |
| Forecast End | The end time of the task after the Runbook is Activate, one the planned end time is breached the forecast end time of the task will tick forward with system time |
| Actual Start | The time the task actually started |
| Actual End | The time the task actually completed |
| Task State |
The state that a task is in for example active, pending or complete |
| Delta |
The time gained or lost on a task duration, if this is a minus number then this is the time gained on the task For example a task had a planned duration of 5 minutes, however it actually took 10 minutes, the delta for this task would be 5 mins. As it took 5 minutes longer than originally planned. |
| Duration |
The minutes taken for the task or stage to be completed |
| End-End Delta | The difference between planned and actual end |
| Start Delay (mins) |
Is the amount of time passed from when the task became available to when it was activated |
| Complete Delay (mins) |
Forecast end time of the task on activation 'v' current forecast/actual end of the task |
| Flags |
Task flags appear on the primary report and denote additional detail or attributes assigned to a given task |
| Runbook Gain | The Gain indicates how much time you have lost or made on a Runbook. If this number is a - then this is amount of time which you have gained in the runbook |
