The movement from managing technology organizations and development by Products instead of Projects has grown in recent years. This has many advantages, but only if there are critical changes in defining and funding the development. First, we shift from defining specific solutions to developing and defining the outcomes we want to accomplish with that development. Second, we should rethink how we fund development. Instead of funding a specific scope of work, we should fund the capacity to develop products. -

The All Assignments portlet displays resource assignments across multiple projects. Currently, assignment information displayed for the project, in OWB, or MSP is limited to a single project. This portlet will provide a single view of the assigned data for all assignments across multiple projects. The portlet displays project actuals and estimates from the project (datamart tables). The Days Late field is calculated by the baseline date, while the Days Old field is calculated by today's date. Note: Only the projects that the user has viewer rights to will show up in the list. Filters provide the PM, RM, and individual resource the ability to monitor work progress across multiple projects. For example: ~ PMs can filter for all assignments that were to be completed by a given date but still have "Started" or "Not Started" status. ~ If multiple projects are utilizing the same resource, the PM or RM can filter for assignments utilizing that specific resource to prevent over-utilization. ~ A resource may filter for all assignments assigned to them, providing a picture of their total body of work.
