To manage by exceptions means that a Project Manager can quickly view targets of documents that are "abnormal." Usually targets of documents that need immediate attention in order to meet deadlines, ensure smooth progress, and meet SLAs.
The Project Exceptions Dashboard quickly searches through ALL projects in the ENTIRE community that meet any of the exceptions listed in the table below. In order to maintain speed in that search, the Project Exceptions Dashboard only queries targets within specific time frames. The query also ignores any documents with a word count that is equal to 0.
