For our second sprint, our focus was the following:
1) Walking through all the configurations under the Project Administration settings in PPM.
2) Mapping all the roles and security groupings for our users.
Project Administration - Working with our Rego consultant, as we went through each of the settings, for the majority of these settings, we simply reviewed all of the settings and took all the OOTB settings. A couple of notes related to these settings are:
• As our phase 1 implementation, we are not included the financial, time sheets, or resources, so for all these settings, we left as OOTB.
• We decided to create all our portfolio's up as simple, so you do have to create budget periods. Since OOTB already had 2019 values, we were good to go. We will have to create 2020 values when we move to PROD and that was added to our PPM deployment list.
• For project preferences, the only check mark we kept was for "Enable altering of planned date(s) for task in WIP/Closed," all other values we set to no and left unchecked.
• We stayed with the Agile default values
Timeline Visualization
• For the CIO Roadmap, we have the panel dates set to end-date.
• For the Demand Back, we have the panel dates set to start date.
• One pointer is that as we were testing the Roadmaps, there is a little tab on the right side of screen. Please understand that if you change those settings, it is a custom config that is applied to the ID. As I was updating the timeline visualizations preference settings, the CIO Roadmap was not updating for my ID, that took a little while to figure out that I had set a custom config on my ID.
Security
As we have been on ITSM for almost two years now, we already have SN Groups set up. Our task was mapping our existing groups to the PPM security groups.
We have our security set as:
it_demand_manager - Our IT Managers, PMO
it_demand_user - All users
it_portfolio_manager - IT Managers, PMO
it_pogram_manager - IT Managers, Supervisors, Project Managers
it_project_maanger - Others as needed
it_project_user - All IS team
it_project _portfolio_user - not assigned
resourse_manager - not assigned
resourse_user - not assigned
pps_resource - not assigned
tm_test_manager - not-assigned
tm_tester - not assigned
it_pps_admin - PMO
timecard_admin - not assigned
timecard_approver - not assigned
timecard_user - not assigned
We will validate our security settings through our testing and our earlier adopters…
One to Sprint 3 - Workflows by role Notice that we added a sprint for our work with Ideas and our Service Desk Portal.
