<div class="MsoNormal">
For once, a short article with a quick tip on how to enhance
the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Track your work</b> web part, on
your Project Online home page, by updating some links and changing the colour
of the tiles.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<a name='more'></a><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The challenge (or as
Simon Sinek says “Start with why”)</b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had to create a brand new custom Report Centre, which
contains some videos, help documents, images and our reports. I am a big fan of
the Track your work web part, on my home page. It does not only contain links
to the most important features, but it is also security trimmed and provides
some additional information, such as the numbers of pending approvals, tasks
assigned to you, risks or issues, timesheets or status reports...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The solution would be either to create a new Promoted Link
web part (but I’m not sure how to deal with the numbers), or just for the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Reports</b> link, override the original link
(/PWAReports/Forms/AllItems.aspx) with the URL of my new Report Centre (which I
did).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The solution<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is easily doable using some JavaScript and jQuery. Here
is the process:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

type="text/javascript"></script><script><br />$( document ).ready(function() {<br />$('.ms-tileview-tile-root:nth-child<b>(7n +

<div class="MsoNormal">
(7n + 4) is the 4<sup>th</sup> tile of your web part (in my
case, the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Report</b> one). You can check
the documentation of the nth-child selector here: <a href="https://api.jquery.com/nth-child-selector/">https://api.jquery.com/nth-child-selector/</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Going further (not to

<div class="MsoNormal">
I tried also to play with the other properties and made some
test on CSS classes, my idea was to try to change the colour of the tiles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the same Content Editor Web Part (or in another one), add
the following code that override the background colour. You can search for SharePoint
CSS reference charts, e.g., this one is for SharePoint 2013: <a href="https://blog.sharepointexperience.com/2013/05/31/sharepoint-2013-css-classes-that-suck-and-save-the-day/">https://blog.sharepointexperience.com/2013/05/31/sharepoint-2013-css-classes-that-suck-and-save-the-day/</a>.
I used this in the past to update a List View web part to add alternate row
colour.<o:p></o:p></div>

Project Online (or Project Server) should be configured, not
to say customized, in a way that it supports your business principles and
procedures around Project Management. It should reflect your (probably tailor
made) Project Management methodology. The first thing you generally do is to
configure your way of doing project plans, by creating your own Enterprise
Custom Fields and Lookup Tables that would be used together with your custom
views.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moving forward, your Project Management methodology might
contain a method to manage risks and issues. This post is about configuring
your own Project Online instance to match your Risk and Issue Management
methodology. I choose the Issue list as an example but the same applies to
Risks or Documents. Note that identical approach can be used for any custom
features such as change requests, decisions log, assumptions and constraints…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Approach<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The implementation relies on the usage of SharePoint Content
Types. You can find more information on this topic reading: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms472236(v=office.14).aspx" target="_blank">Introduction to Content Types</a> on MSDN. Content Types, being
centrally managed, can be easily updated to reflect your methodology changes,
and those changes can be applied to any existing Project Site (avoiding to ask
you poor dev team to manually update all project site lists after any changes).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The trick</b> is to
update the existing Risk or Issue Content Types (or create your own),
understanding that Project Online relies on some fields of those content types.
It means that you should <b><u>never delete</u></b>
any of the existing fields. If you remove some fields (aka the trap of the beginner),
the publish process may throw an error. Even for SharePoint dev superheroes,
it’s very complex to recreate those fields (it’s not just a story of recreating
the fields with the same names). You cannot delete fields, but you can create
new ones or hide some of the existing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are not familiar with this, here is a step by step procedure
to create your own Issue Content Type and use it in Project Online.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Implementation<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we said, we need to keep existing fields. The easiest way
to do it is to start from an existing Project Site.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Create a new Project that provision a Project Site (using
one of your EPT). Once the site is provisioned, you can delete the project (not
the site of course) to keep your projects database clean.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first step is to activate management of Content Types (on
the Issue list). Go on the <b>List Settings</b>
and click on <b>Advanced Settings</b>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am working in the sport industry and we deliver similar
events each season. I admit that from a pure project management perspective,
this should not be considered as projects. Anyway, we have investigating the
opportunity to use a central list of risks (or issues) that could reside at the
root of the Project Web App, which will contain all risks (or issues) from all
events instead of being located at event level (i.e. Project Site). We foresee
some benefits like cross event (project) risks, or risks that could last longer
than the event itself (e.g. corporate consequences derived from an event cause).
Reporting will also be easier and most probably queries more performant. In
such case, the page “Issues and Risks” should be recreated.<o:p></o:p></div>

The status manager is
the resource who is to receive status updates for a task, from any resource
assigned to this task. The Status Manager (task field) is described in <span lang="FR-CH"><a href="https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Status-Manager-task-field-4bc59e8b-fa20-415f-acd0-393b8572e6c4" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-GB">this page</span></a></span> from Microsoft support.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Known limitation<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Microsoft Project has
a limitation that prevents a schedule owner from setting a task’s status manager
to anyone except himself or herself. Hence, if you want to assign another
person as the Status Manager to a task within your project plan, you need to
ask him/her to edit the schedule in Microsoft Project and assign himself or herself
as the Status Manager.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><u>The sleight of hand<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In my current company,
I am in charge of the scheduling preparation for several project, hence I use a
lot the delegation feature. For more information about delegation, you can read
this <span lang="FR-CH"><a href="http://www.mpug.com/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-GB">mpug.com</span></a></span> article, <span lang="FR-CH"><a href="https://www.mpug.com/articles/using-project-server-delegation-feature/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-GB">Using theProject Server Delegation Feature</span></a></span> Written on January 7, 2014 by <span lang="FR-CH"><a href="https://www.mpug.com/author/jessica-carlisle/" title="Posts by Jessica Carlisle"><span lang="EN-GB">Jessica Carlisle</span></a></span>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I found is that
when creating a new task acting as a delegate, the Status Manager for this new
task is the resource you are working on behalf. In addition, reading again the
definition of the Status Manager on the Microsoft support page, I found this: <i>“The status manager can be changed to any
other status manager in this enterprise project.”</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The solution is found <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>, you create a fake task using delegation for
each Project Manager you want to assign as a Status Manager, then when you open
the project in Microsoft Project Pro, you can update the Status Manager to any
of those resources.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span lang="EN-US"><u>Create mandatory dependencies between tasks in

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">A good
reason to create master/subproject is to create dependencies (links) between
tasks in different projects. Let me first start with some definitions. There
are 3 types of dependencies:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b><span lang="EN-US">Mandatory Dependencies:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> or strong dependencies, it creates
a firm relationship between tasks (must do).</span></li>
<li><b><span lang="EN-US">Discretionary Dependencies:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> or soft dependencies (should do),
when project team would like activities to happen in a particular order without
any constraint.</span></li>
<li><b><span lang="EN-US">External Dependencies:</span></b><span lang="EN-US"> those outside of the control of the
project team.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Working
with master/subproject allows the PM to create <b>mandatory dependencies</b> between tasks within different
project/subproject. On “non-linked” project, you can only create <b>discretionary or external dependencies</b>,
using the Project Server feature <b>Deliverables</b>
for example.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
My final thoughts</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I saw Planner last year for the first time, I did not find
the interest of using it to manage projects. As a seasoned PM, I need to be
able to track resources, baseline, costs… which is not possible with Planner.
Moving ahead (not to say getting older), I finally found places where this
product makes sense. Not all your team members are well trained or certified in PM and
they just need to follow up on their tasks and share progress status. This tool
is perfect for this. Yet another <a href="https://trello.com/" target="_blank">Trello</a>
some might say, probably yes, but the integration with Office 365, and Groups is
just amazing and bring a huge value.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
As a PMO I would love to be able to manage those projects
tracked in Planner within my Project Online instance; approaching Christmas,
this will be on my wish list together with the possibility to create reports
from my Planner’s plans from PowerBI <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Let me tell you this story of a project manager; he spent
time with his team to compile their project planning, then proudly print it on
A0 page, and pin it on the wall behind his desk. This is for me one of the most
common mistakes a beginner does on project management. Why? Because the time
you print the schedule and pin it on the wall, the schedule is not anymore up
to date. You planning is alive, people will make work and progression on some
tasks, others tasks might be delayed… It is important to track the work done in
order to answer the question “how are we progressing compared to original
plan?”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A snapshot of the original plan should be saved in order to
allow later comparison. This is what we call the <b>Baseline</b>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Once your original planning is done, you can save your first
baseline, by clicking on <b>Project</b>
> <b>Set Baseline</b> > <b>Set Baseline</b>.<o:p></o:p></div>

Easy to understand, you can set your percentage of
completion for your task by clicking on one of these buttons. You can only use
these buttons when your progression is as planned (if you click on 75%, it
means that 75% of your task is done and 25% of your task is remaining).<br />

The practice of estimating in project management is one of
the most challenging. Whether you’re trying to figure out project effort,
duration or cost, given the inherent uncertainty of projects and their uniqueness,
we often end up “guesstimating.” This article provides techniques to use in
order to be as accurate as possible in doing your estimates. While I focus on
effort estimation, the same techniques apply to duration or cost estimation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s start with a reminder about how project time
management is articulated, according to the <a href="http://www.pmi.org/PMBOK-Guide-and-Standards.aspx">PMI® PMBOK® Guide

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Analogous Estimating</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is, I think, the most common form of estimation. You
base your estimate on your experiences from previous projects, otherwise known
as historical data, based on lessons learned. This method is fairly accurate,
when the type of work is similar (same project type, same resources, etc.). The
calculation can be adjusted using parameters such as duration, budget,
resources and complexity. Also, this is the method to use when you have a
limited amount of information regarding the project, such as a lack of a
detailed task list. The disadvantage to this approach is that the organization
needs similar projects for comparison.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Parametric Estimating</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This form of estimation uses a formula also based on
historical data. To make it clearer, here’s an example: You know from past
experience as a handyman that you require 10 hours to tile 20 square meters.
Today you need to estimate how long it will take to tile 40 square meters. Your
guess is 20 hours. The more sophisticated your model, the more accurate your
estimates will be. For example, you can define that for every 40 square meters
of tiling, you’ll also need one more hour to tile or clean or estimate that the
risk of having bad tile quality increases with the larger space. As your
formula becomes more advanced, your results will become more accurate. The
disadvantage is the same as the analogous estimating: no historical data, no
parametric estimation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Three-point Estimating</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The idea is to improve upon single-point estimating by using
three-point estimating, where three estimates are defined in order to take into
consideration risk and uncertainty. The first estimate is a best case
estimation, called Optimistic value (OP). The worst case scenario is called
Pessimistic (PE). The last estimate falls between the other two and is called
Most Likely (ML). Each of those may be defined using one of the previous
techniques (analogous or parametric). You can define the effort as an average:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>(OP+PE+ML)/3</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A variation of this technique is the Program Evaluation and
Review Technique or PERT analysis, which uses weighted averages for the
estimates:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i>Expected Time =
(OP+4ML+PE)/6</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The disadvantage of this technique is that it’s time
consuming because you have to define three estimates for each task.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Expert Judgment Estimating</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In this approach you ask a knowledgeable expert to define
efforts for you, based on historical information they have. Its accuracy
depends on the expert and his or her background. The main pain points are two:
1) to find such an expert when you need one; and 2) to accept what the expert
is telling you even when there’s no apparent rationale other than “This is what

<b><u>Published Data Estimating</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some organizations regularly publish their data about effort
from past projects, accessible by anyone who’s a member or an employee to
compare against their expected activities. While this approach can be highly
accurate, it also depends on many parameters (domain, company size, culture,
etc.), making it difficult to find information suited for you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Bottom up Estimating</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) approach. You
decompose your work into small packages that are more understandable and
therefore simpler to estimate with greater accuracy. You aggregate those
estimates at a project level to understand the whole effort. If a work package
or decomposed activity can’t be estimated, you have to break it down again. The
inconvenience here is that the method is time consuming.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Project Management Software Simulation</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Software simulation is used to model the level of uncertainty.
The best known example is the Monte Carlo simulation. Instead of using numbers
as input to a formula (whose result will also be numbers), the Monte Carlo
method takes a distribution of numbers (such as the normal distribution) as
input and gives a distribution of results as output.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Given the complexity of the implementation and the
application to several project tasks, this method can be time consuming.
(Practically speaking, I’ve personally never applied it to any of my projects.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Group Decision-making</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not specifically a technique in itself so much as a
collection of techniques. The idea is to work with a group of people to assess
effort, duration or cost. The advantage is the sharing of experience and
knowledge and also the involvement of people from the project team, which
increases their commitment to the result.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Delphi Method</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Delphi method is a group decision making technique that
relies on interactions within a panel of experts. Participants give their
estimation to a facilitator in charge of providing an anonymous summary of
expert judgments together with the related explanation. The anonymity frees
participants from cognitive biases such as the halo effect or the bandwagon
effect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Planning Poker</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also called Scrum Poker, this gamification technique derives
from the Delphi method, where a group of people try to reach a consensus on
effort (originally used in agile techniques for story point estimation). People
have a deck of numbered cards, each number corresponding to story points or
days. They’re invited to put face down the card corresponding to their
estimation. All cards are revealed simultaneously. The bigger and lower
estimates are removed. This action is repeated until a consensus is reached (of
course, anyone can modify the estimate he or she gives at each round based on
the going point of view). Usage of an egg timer can help to “mark off”
discussions.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Other Techniques Worth Considering</u></b><b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A quick browse of Wikipedia reveals any number of other
techniques to consider, none of which I’ve tried, but all of which sound
interesting for particular situations. Here are two that I found particularly
interesting:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i>The constructive
cost model</i> (COCOMO)</b> is an algorithmic software cost estimation
model that uses a regression formula with parameters derived from historical
project data and current and future project characteristics.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The <i>Putnam
model</i></b> is an empirical software effort estimation model, in which
software project data is collected and fit to a curve. The estimate is created
by examining project size and calculating the associated effort using the
equation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you ask me what I use, I’ll reply, “It depends.” I always
start with some basic estimation, either analogous- or expert judgment-based.
Then depending on the risks or complexity inherent to the project, I apply
parametric estimating or go through the work of three-point estimating. I’ve
found that breaking down tasks in smaller more understandable activities is
also a very good approach. Finally, group decision making techniques help me
fine-tune the estimates.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In other words, the appropriate estimation technique for
your project depends on your experience, preference and many other projects and
situation parameters. I recommend that you build your own technique based on
what you extract from any of these methods.<o:p></o:p></div>

engagements, which is one of the new feature available in Project Online, is the
way Project Managers and Resource Managers agree on resource allocations (for more information about new

engagement in four steps:</span></u><br />

<li>The resource manager set resources requiring approval to be assigned to projects on the resource center (Edit resource page).</li>
<li>A project manager can request a resource. The time phased request is done in Project Professional 2016 or Project Pro for Office 365. It can contain a percentage of resource work required or a set of hours for the period.</li>
<li>The resource manager reviews the request and accept or reject it. Note that engagements are not fully editable, depending on the change required, the request should be resent by the PM.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the
main issue a project manager faces when working with resources managed as a
pool by a resource manager (i.e. team/unit/department), is the ability for him/her
to deal with resource availability and constraints. Discussions between the PM
and RM for resources assignment is often informal or done via email, but there
was no formal request. Also, RMs might not have clear visibility on projects (missing
some data).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b><u>Resource engagement </u></b>is the way PM and RM agree on resource allocations. This is an <b>agreement</b>, we can also say a <b>contract</b>, between the two. Here is the

Friday October 23<sup>rd</sup>, I had the chance to be speaker
at the first Project Virtual Conference <a href="http://projectvirtualconference.com/">http://projectvirtualconference.com/</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As introduced by the conference team: “Project Virtual
Conference 2015 is the first-ever online conference that is dedicated to
Microsoft Project, Project Server and Project Online, that will run for a
continuous 24 hours”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Project Virtual Conference 2015 in numbers is 1400+
registered attendees, from 76 different countries, and 61 sessions (the list of
sessions is below).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My session was: <b>Successful
business value realization with Lean Startup and Project Online</b>. The idea
was to merge Portfolio Analysis with Lean Startup principles.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Here is the session abstract<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To develop their business and products, Coltham Metalhead, a
beer brewing start-up, has put in place the Lean Startup Method in order to
support their fast growing business. They have combine this practice with a
Portfolio Management Methodology, based on the Standard for Portfolio
Management from the Project Management Institute. Their Project lifecycle
starts with demand management and project ideation through their innovation
hub, then the portfolio management process helps the decision making process to
select the right projects to run and finally project management techniques help
ensure projects are successfully delivered. In this presentation, the focus
will be on the Portfolio management principles, and how Coltham Metalhead,
hence yourself, can apply Project Management Institute’s standards on Portfolio
management and lean start-up philosophy within project Online. By creating what
if scenarios (based on risks, costs¦), they
ensure they are “doing the right work”.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Within Microsoft Project Server, a resource plan is a forecasting
tool for estimation, used at the early stages of project initiation. It’s a way
to estimate resource capacity where projects are in different state, in other
words, it helps you to define high level resource needs for each project or
initiative.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because you can use it during early stages of projects, there
might not be any task or WBS defined yet, some projects might be just proposed
and not handed over to Project Manager.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">More often, resource plan utilize
resources that are generic just to get some idea of capacity. Using named
resources might also help resource managers to understand their team’s
availability and capacity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You can calculate capacity from the following 3 options:</span></div>

</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For our example, we will chose from <b>Resource plan</b>. Be careful, the default
value is Project Plan.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Second element to configure is the <b>Date Range</b>. You have to estimate your
project start and end date. Based on my experience, you can use previous
project’s lessons learned to estimate project duration. This is called the <b>“Historical analysis”</b> technique.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

might help you to better comprehend the goals of a portfolio and the advantage
in selecting the right one(s). When it comes to life, you need to select the
best tool in order to help ensure that those making the decisions, make the
right ones. By attending to this session, you will be able to understand a
three-step process of portfolio analysis through one PPM software.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Continuing the series of articles I wrote on Portfolio
Analysis within Microsoft Project Server 2013, and following my previous
article on <a href="http://www.jeremycottino.com/2015/01/how-microsoft-project-server-calculate.html" target="_blank">How Microsoft Project Server calculate business drivers prioritization</a>, this
will (should) help you understanding How Microsoft Project Server calculate <b>projects</b> prioritization.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To highlight this calculation, I will reuse the same
business drivers I have defined previously:<o:p></o:p></div>

<li>Expand revenue of the Bobby Brown product line</li>
<li>Increase product awareness among people between 13 and 18</li>

For each project, you have to assess the Project strategic
impact; how the project will support your organization strategy, by defining
its impact on each business drivers. Portfolio managers have to identify the
impact, using one of the 6 impact statements:<o:p></o:p></div>

On my example, here is the mapping of Projects and business
drivers with impact statements:<br />

The next step, as we did for business drivers’
prioritization, is to translate each option into a numerical score, using the
table below:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
At this stage, we need to retrieve each business driver
priority as calculated during the business drivers’ prioritization phase. As a
reminder, here is for my example the drivers scoring:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then for each of the impact statement, you need to multiply
the score by the business driver priority. On the table below, each driver is
split into 2 columns, the first one contains the impact and the second one is
this impact multiplied by the driver priority.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Once done, a sum of scoring is done for each projects and
converted into percentage by dividing this by the sum of scores, this is the
Project priority.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The
Efficient Frontier is a concept defined by the Nobel Prize winner <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Markowitz" target="_blank">HarryMarkowitz</a> as part of an article published in 1952 named “Portfolio Selection”. He
stated that an optimal portfolio is the one that delivers the best possible
return for a given level of risk or investment. Applied to portfolio analysis,
the Efficient Frontier is represented as a curve, and plots strategic value (as
a percentage) against Portfolio Cost. It might happen, often when you choose to
force-out some projects, that the portfolio selection scenarios is plotted
under the curve, which mean that the portfolio is not optimal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<ul>
<li>The 3 scenarios “Baseline”, “600k” and “300K” are plotted on
the efficient frontier curve meaning that for the given cost, each scenario
brings the maximum strategic value. They are optimal.</li>
<li>Opposed to those, the scenario “300k restricted” is plotted
below the efficient frontier. This scenario does not give the maximum strategic

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Many project managers know and use
Microsoft Project as their favorite application for project scheduling, but do
they know the benefits of Microsoft Project Server? This presentation
demonstrates how Microsoft Project Server can help a company achieve its
business objectives through Project Portfolio Management. In complex business
environments, collaboration is critical for demand management, capacity planning,
project governance, resource management, defining team roles and
responsibilities, etc. Microsoft Project Server, and its project and portfolio
management concept, can assist project team members and business decision
makers in their daily routines and help structure their projects from their
basic beginnings to their successful completions.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
