The Grant Project Edit Rights workflow process allows a project manager to grant project edit rights to another user without contacting an administrator. The workflow uses the Out-of-the-box field for Business Owner. The script starts when the field is updated. It will assign project edit rights to whichever user is added to the Business Owner field. This process can be modified to grant project edit rights to any user within a project field. -
The Convert Incident to Task workflow process allows users to quickly create tasks from incidents without the need to input the information twice. It utilizes a newly added checkbox and project fields on the incident object. The user will need to select the project that he or she wants the task added to using the “Project” field on the incident object. Next, the “Convert to Task” checkbox will kick off the process. Once ticked, the process will perform the necessary actions to create a task on the specified project. -

The Re-Baseline via Change Request process is a simple method for a member of the project (who has the ability to create change requests) to request a re-baseline of the project without the project manager having to perform it. First, the user must create the change request. The user must then start the process within the change request by using the Processes tab. Once started, the process will route an action item to the Project Manager. If rejected, the process will end and the user must start it again (if needed). If approved, the process will then baseline the project and close out the change request. -

If you belong to a PMO or EPMO, this session will help you to better collaborate with your Agile counterparts in finding better and more holistic solutions to value delivery. Tips on how to use Agile principles in your talking points will also be shared. -
This portlet displays the % allocation of resources to projects. The portlet shows if the resource is allocated to the projects as an individual resource or as part of an Agile team, in which case it will display the resource % allocation to the team and what that will represent in terms of % allocation to the project. The Total Allocation % display the allocation of the resource to all investments is allocated to. Remaining Capacity and Over/Under columns will help identify the resources that still have availability and the ones that are over allocated. -
The Timesheet Notes portlet displays all timesheet notes split out by resource, investment and task. This is very useful in situations where you want to review multiple notes as you do not have to open each note separately. The table below describes the available filter fields in the portlet.Column Label Description Timesheet Period Start Range of time periods to display filtered by start date Timesheet Period Finish Range of time periods to display filtered by finish date Resource Resource(s) to display Type Note on a timesheet or time entry (task specific) -

Bar Chart displays average percent variance for all active projects by OBS unit. Percent variance = Planned Cost - Budgeted Cost / Budgeted Cost * 100. Projects with no Budgeted Cost are ignored for the calculation. Then all project variance percentages are algebraically added (some may be negative), and divided by total projects with a variance. This yields the Average Percent Variance. This calculation is performed for active projects in each OBS unit. OBS units include all units at all levels where projects are attached. Portlet filterable by OBS, Financial Status, and Financially Approved. Vertical axis = OBS Unit Name. Horizontal axis = Variance Percent. Data value = Average Percent Variance. Mouseover value = OBS Name + Average Variance Percent. -

Pie Chart Portlet displays counts of active projects with various Stale ratings. Calculation is Percent Stale Tasks = number of open (not completed) tasks with a finish date over 15 days old, divided by total open tasks. Filterable by OBS structure and project manager. Data label = project count. Mouse-over and Legend labels = stale rating. More than 90% Stale means 90 to 100% of open tasks on a project have finish dates older than 15 days. More than 71% Stale means 71 to 89% of open tasks on a project have finish dates older than 15 days. 0 - 70% Stale means fewer than 70% of open tasks on a project have finish dates older than 15 days. -
