Graphic Drill Down (GDD) is a management tool that provides the ability to graphically display and explore data created in MPM. GDD provides a wide range of 2-D and 3-D charts, graphs, and grids. You can graph schedule, cost, actuals, variances, and condition the data in many powerful ways, to represent and analyze the data in your project.
By displaying your project's data as a graph, you can drill down (display additional detail information) into the data by clicking on a portion of a graph. For example, assume you are viewing a horizontal bar graph that displays timeframe cumulative BCWS in Total Dollars. To drill down into a time period, click on the bar representing the time period. MPM displays a graph showing the breakdown of cumulative BCWS data through that fiscal month.
To drill down into a WBS leg, select the WBS drill down method radio button in the left window pane click on the bar representing the leg. MPM displays a graph showing the breakdown of the cumulative BCWS through the time period.
