Demand Workflow
Action Items: Action Items provide you the ability to track items in your demands and projects. Identifying them here provides visibility and accountability.
Benefit: Benefits allow your organization to capture the hard and soft benefits of going forward with your demand. This data is used to score this demand against other demands in your system.
Budget: Budgets allow your organization to track the hard numbers associated with your demand or project. From here, we can calculate and display ROI. Budgets have an approval process built in to make authorizations easy
Cost Item: Cost Items allow your organization to track the actual spend for your demand or projects. Compared against the budgeted amounts lets you see whether your project is on track, off track or at risk. Like the budget items, Cost items provide built in approvals.
Decisions: Decisions allow you to highlight major key junction points in your demand or project. This information can be presented on an Executive dashboard view, thus providing governance over your projects.
Goals: Goals provide the organization with the high-level view of what this demand and/or project attempts to accomplish. Goals can be displayed on Executive dashboards for visibility.
Issues: Issues allow your organization to identify those “little” or “big” things that come up during your project. Part of the key to success is knowing these things early before they become a bigger problem.
Milestone: Milestones are the key events in your demand or projects that represent different stages or checkpoints.
Requirements: Requirements allow your organization to define the must have, nice to haves and optional items that will allow you to make the right decisions during the scope of your project.
Risks: Risks allow your organization to identify, assess and manage risks within your portfolios. These risks are identified and can be shown on dashboards. Various KPI’s will keep your organization up to date.
