A Program Level Project Heatmap provides a visual summary of multiple projects within a program, typically using color-coded indicators to represent different metrics or aspects of project management. This allows stakeholders, such as program managers, sponsors, and team members, to quickly assess the status and health of individual projects within the program. It can aid in identifying areas that may require attention, allocating resources effectively, managing dependencies between projects, and making informed decisions to keep the program on track to achieve its objectives.
