Adjusting the portfolio into a valid scenario

Several actions can be carried out on the scenario to match the selected projects with the min/max budget and resource loads.

  1. A healthindicator displays the projects selected and the projects available to build a portfolio scenario. Projects added to or removed from the scenario have an impact on this health block.
  2. The load gauge for resources, with the minimum/maximum constraint defined in the scenario.
  3. The load gauge for budgets, with the minimum/maximum constraint defined in the scenario.
  4. By adding or removing a candidate project, the resource data and budgets of these projects have an impact on the overall portfolio gauge.

  5. A project counter is available to show the number of projects selected and the total number of projects available.
  6. You can check or uncheck projects to fine-tune your portfolio according to your constraints.
  7. A button allows you to select or deselect all projects at once.
  8. Some fields can be modified directly in the scenario, such as budget or resource data, or project dates. It is possible to unfold a project line and see the details in terms of budgets or resources: profiles and analytical axes used are displayed.
  9. 🚨
    Please note that these changes do not have a direct impact on the projects, but only on the scenario currently under construction.
    đźš©
    If the dates of a project change, then the level of the gauges must correspond to the cumulative table columns for each resource or budget constraint.
  10. The attributes added when creating the scenario can be found here. Strategic information such as profits and weather will help you build your ideal portfolio . Project attributes cannot be modified via this screen.
  11. Totals can be displayed if you have more than one budget or resource year. They cannot be modified directly.
  12. The filter allows you to find candidate projects in the list via a project label, a hierarchical structure link or a particular attribute .
đź’ˇ
You can create a portfolio scenario and return to it as many times as you like before transforming it into a real project portfolio .

The gantt chart

The gantt chart gives you an at-a-glance overview of the timeframe of the projects in the scenario.

🚨
Please note that the gantt chart will not be displayed if more than 300 projects are part of the scenario, whether selected or not.
  1. The diagram is displayed using this button. The width of the diagram can be easily adjusted.
  2. The gantt chart is displayed according to the projects selected. If you deselect a project, it will no longer appear in the Gantt. It can be easily shown or hidden.
  3. The period represented graphically is based on the project's start and end dates. You can zoom in and out on the gantt chart of a portfolio scenario via a time scale (months, years) to better analyze it.
  4. A tooltip appears when you hover over a project. This tooltip provides the following information: project name, start date and end date.

Project dates can be changed in the Gantt or in the table, and expenses are modified accordingly.

The workload plan

The workload plan can be displayed on a portfolio scenario. It enables you to view the resource profiles and workloads of selected projects in greater detail. capacity and remaining work resources are displayed in this graph.

The total resource capacity displayed in the load plan can be filtered by clicking on the profiles in the load plan legend. This allows you to see the capacity of certain profiles only, such as a developer or a project manager contracting authority.

🚨
Please note that the load plan will not be displayed if more than 300 projects are part of the scenario, whether selected or not.
  1. It can be shown or hidden as required via this button. The height of the display can be easily adjusted.
  2. Expenses are displayed on a monthly basis. When a resource is assigned to several projects, its capacity is counted only once.
  3. You can choose whether or not to display certain resource profiles in the graph by clicking on the profile legend on the right.
  4. If scenario data is modified, the load plan is automatically updated with the new values.

Update data

Scenario data can be updated with more recent project values. Has an end date changed? Has a status been updated? Refresh your data for better assumptions.

  1. Access a portfolio scenario.
  2. Click on the contextual menucontextual menuthen on Update data.
  3. A confirmation window appears.

    đźš©
    All modifications made to your scenario will be overwritten by the new project values.
  4. Click on Update.

The data date at the top left of the screen has now been updated to today's date.
