Good Morning Community members,
Finally we got some new cool features in San Diego for PPM, here is list of those changes and benefits you can expect for customers. Firstly IT Business Management has been renamed Strategic Portfolio Management.
Few of the notable features of SanDiego in PPM are....
Goal Framework :
- Ability to create goals, set targets against goals and evaluate progress to accomplish vision of organisation. Using Goal Framework, you can define strategic priorities and associated goals for the organization as part of strategic plans. Once goals are created, you can then associate work and planning items such as demand, project and initiatives.
- Using Alignment Planner Workspace you can define a planning hierarchy for your organization and use it to align your goals according to your organization's planning hierarchy.
The key benefits of Goal Framework:
- Helps ensure that the entire organization focuses efforts on the same strategic priorities.
- Makes goals to align and focus effort visible.
- Enables the association of work or planning items with goals so the work being done to accomplish goals and meet targets are easily visible.
- Provides real-time checkpoints for goals over weekly, monthly, and quarterly durations.
Resource Management :
- Date range filters are available to set the duration that appears in the resource grid.
- Previously, when a user navigated between resource plans, the resource grid automatically began at the start date of the new resource plan. Beginning with this release, this automated movement is restricted. To reset the view to the plan's start date, you can use the new Go to Start Date option.
- Date-range filters in resource finder now allow you to select a date range along with the available predefined periods.
- Pagination in resource finder enables you to view up to 50 records on one page without performance lag.
- Advanced filters are now available in resource finder under Search by Group and Search by Role. Previously, advanced filters were available only within Search by User.
- A Requested column in resource finder helps resource managers plan capacity efficiently.
- The fill-right option in the resource grid enables you to select multiple cells and provide a value in one action.
- You can now update the capacity of resources within resource finder.
Project Management :
Two new system generated cost plans, CapEx and OpEx, contain the actuals that are posted without being associated with any cost plan. These plans avoid the confusion created by discrepancies in data on the widgets and on the grid on project Financials page and Investment Portal.
Project Workspace :
There is huge change in UI/UX experience for Project managers in Project workspace in SanDiego release. For more details, please check my new article Click Here
Thank you
