Project Portfolio Mangement

Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone knows of any full-featured Project Portfolio management app that has been built in Apex. There are several component apps in the sample applications--such as time reporting, project tracking, etc. Just wondering if anyone or company has put all the pieces together to track project resource projections, resource allocations, actual effort reporting, etc. I am aware that Oracle has such a product in its ERP suite, but it is more complicated and expensive than what we are looking for.

Project Server 2013 for Resource Planning & Project Portfolio Management

We are looking to use project server 2013 for resource and project portfolio management. We are an IT department of approximately 600 growing to 1,000 within the next several years.
We would like to us PS2013 to do the following :
Manage Portfolio of Projects
Manage Resources against this Portfolio
Calculate Project Finances using resource roles and rates
I would be grateful to have both comments on experience , both positive and negative.
Thank You

Many teams within organizations are turning to Project Server to help them control resources, deliverables and costs better. It does resource management very well with work & cost resources, baseline costs, material costs, budget costs and
out of the box earned value analysis (EV). The Strategy (portfolio) component is very powerful and it will help you identify project that align to your objects then do what if analysis to find the right mix of projects.
Here are a couple of things you should think about when moving to PS2013:
1) Who will be using the tool? If it is a mix of onsite staff, remote staff, vendors, contractors etc. you may want to think about a hosted solution.
2) Training. Don't assume everyone will just magically 'know' how to use the tool. Train everyone (team members, PMs, Executives) then train them again. It's the only way to truly get the value out of the tool.
3) Who will manage the system? This is not a typical application. The right administrator needs SharePoint, Project Server, SQL Server, MS Project, Analysis Services and SQL Report writing skills. Please note that much of this can
be learned by the right person but DEFINITELY find the right person.
4) Don't start customizing right out of the box. You will get frustrated. Adjust your organization to the tool early on. I know that is easier said than done but you need a realistic approach to get tool acceptance moving early.
5) Use workflows but don't use them right out of the gate. Workflows are great but I suggest you wait until phase 2 or 3 to start aligning them to your business processes.
6) Lastly and most importantly, you must first establish your own business processes THEN align them to the tool. DO NOT assume the tool will create business process for you. You must think about how you are going to initiate a project,
how are you going to track deliverables, how will time sheets be managed, etc. Get to a whiteboard, crack open Visio and start building and establishing your processes now. PS 2013 is pretty flexible and usually will align well with existing business
processes.
And don't forget to hire a good consultant. They can be brought in during key phases of your roll-out to add value, help you avoid risks, and provide you with best practice advice.
Good luck.

Software needed for Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management

Dear All,
Please help me, i want the list of software to install the Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio management for server side.
Please provide the list in order to install.
Thanks in Advance.
Amit

Hi Amit,
Assuming you are going for P6 r8.3 EPPM and currently have absolutely nothing deployed the order I would recommend would be.
1) Install Windows 2008 R2 SP1
2) Install SQL Server 2008R2 SP1 (express edition is not officially supported for a server deployment)
3) Install Sun JDK 1.7u15 (64bit) (set the JAVA _HOME Vartiable)
4) Install Weblogic 12.1.1
5) Apply patch 16176831 to weblogic
6) Create the 8.3 EPPM database
7) Install P6 8.3 EPPM
8) Configure and start Weblogic

Alex

Project portfolio management

Hi Project management consultants,
I want to confirm the following:
1. Is the Project System module now called Project management?
2. Is Project portfolio management = project system?
3. There are several project management courses like PLM 2xx : Logistics and Controlling etc.
Are each of these courses certification academies?
Thanks in advance.
sincerely
John

Answers
1) Project Management and Project Systems are the same - call it what you like
2)Project Portfolio Management is not = Project Systems it is a separate cross application
3) All the courses PLM2xx are part of the PS academy - any PLM2xx can be taken individually

ORACLE PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION PACK FOR PRIMAVERA P6 & EBS

Hi,
Where can I get the software ORACLE PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT INTEGRATION PACK FOR PRIMAVERA P6 and Oracle E-Business Suite?
Suggest me.
Regards,
Mini

It should be possible. However I will suggest you get in touch with your local sales representative for clarifying licensing policy. It may require you to purchase full license of AIA foundation pack and SOA suite.
Oracle is expected to release new PIP solution for P6 and R12. You may want to wait for that. Search the forum and you will find lot of threads with details.

Oracle Project Portfolio Management

Hi,
Does Oracle have Project Portfolio product within EBS ?
If Yes, as we already have Oracle Projects implemented, so do we need to go for different License ?
Appreciate your feedback.
Regards,
Khan.

Thanks Sandeep for your response.
If its a separate Module then will it come under Project Suite ??...I know in Project Suite, there is a Module called "*Project Portfolio Analysis*" but I have never seen anything like "*Project Portfolio Management*". Is both are same or different ??.....If both are same then do we need to go for separate License inspite of having or implemented Project Management, Project Costing & Project Manufacturing.

Khan.

Professional R8 versus Enterprise Project Portfolio Management R8 ?

Could someone please explain the differences between these two P6.8 downloads?
V23617-01 346 MB Primavera P6 Professional R8 for EPPM
V23604-01 542 MB Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management R8 for Windows
I am downloading the first one now, but not sure if the 2nd is just a repeat of the first, minus some files.
Cheers,
Daniel

I Got the definition of both from P6 EPPM R8 administration guide:
P6 EPPM : Most users will rely almost exclusively on the P6 web application running in a standard web browser. Simply termed P6, it is the primary interface for administering and managing projects.
P6 Professional for EPPM: (Client Component)The P6 web application is the main interface for all project management functionality; however, you can also use the optional P6 Professional software to take advantage of its core project planning and scheduling functionality. The P6 Professional application and its features, including the built-in TSLD viewer, run on the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The installation of the P6 Professional for EPPM is optional depending on your implementation needs

NPD - Project Portfolio to be exported

Hello,
my customer is very happy with Project Portfolio functionality.
However, he requires the possibility of exporting all projects that are green, amber, red.
Basically he needs to export the same information that can be seen in a standard project portfolio.
He needs to bring up these lists to the weekly meeting with the planning board, etc... to discuss about issues with activities/ projects.
I checked the simple functionality to search projects.
I did find the possibility of exporting in spreadsheets but this search does not show which project is overdue or not.
Would you please advise.
Thanks and regards
Daniele

Activity status does not export to excel. Only project status. OPLA will provide the ability to monitor activity status at the portfolio level.

Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable

Thanks to the help from you all, I have written VBA macros that open huge word documents and pluck out specific information and put it into Excel. The files I've received have grown in size from 1500 to 3500 pages. I'm currently running the VBA
macros by opening the document in word and then clicking "View....Macros...mymacro....Run. The macro then runs for any where from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
Is there a way I can convert my VBA project into some sort of executable so that I can "submit" the word file to the executable? Sometimes I run this on a term server. I'd like to start the job, log off the term server, and then later
check for the resulting excel file.
Is there a way to queue up a list of input files for this?

Hi Denis Backer,
>>Can I convert my VBA project to some sort of batch submitted executable<<
Yes, it is possible. We can write an application to automate open the Word documents and run the macro using
Application.Run. Also we can convert all the VBA project with mange code, however the Office automation is not supported on the server enviroment.
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of
Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client
application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services),
because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run
in this environment.
You can get more detail about it from link below:
Considerations for server-side Automation of Office Print Print Email Email
And here are two helpful links about Office automtaion using C# for your reference:

Project Online 2013 Licenses/Subscription

I am actually new to the Project Online 2013 ( not the project server ) So have a question regarding the correct subscription for my users.
A bit background, we are trying to implement a Project Portfolio Management solution at our organization and we are researching to see if Project Online is a good fit.
I currently brought Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365
which has the following licenses
1) Project Pro for Office 365
2) Project Online
3) Office Online
4) SharePoint Online ( plan 2)
I got 4 user licenses for the above subscription where the Users have access to PWA and can create projects and do stuff.
We are planning on implementing it as an integration of SharePoint Online & Project. So now we are having our other team members who not PM's or Portfolio Managers who needs access and I am not sure what license to buy for them.
1) SharePoint Online (Stand alone) : If they will be just working on the project sites / Team sites Do I need to get SharePoint Online Subscription so that they can have access to the tasks.
2) Project Lite : If I get this license will my team members be able to access the PWA and even the SharePoint online sites, Will it cover both the options of Enterprise Project Types & SharePoint Task List Project Types.
I think I should go with option 2 of buying Project Lite for my Team Members but wanted to make sure if this is the right Subscription to buy.
Can anyone help me with this?? I tried contacting Microsoft Support through phone but they weren't able to help me or they created a ticket and I am waiting on their specialist to contact me.
But any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
For the Team Members to access the Project Sites and certain pages in PWA (Timesheets / Tasks etc.) the Project Lite license will be fine. See the links below for details:

Project working with Project Online in Office 365

Hello,
My question is related to project working and using Project Online to track projects.
* Can I use a single "Project Online with Project Pro for Office 365" subscription for tracking and creating reports about all project sites and their tasks in Office 365?
Meaning, if we have multiple projects designed in Project Pro and then uploaded directly to Office 365, can we gather the task, resource and progress information from these projects (created directly to Office 365) in a Project Online overview? One person
using Project Online to oversee multiple projects, others uploading their projects and changing task information in Office 365 to a SharePoint site with Project Pro and Office 365 subscriptions.
We want to have one person with Project Online overseeing the progress and create reports on all projects that have been uploaded to Office 365 (Project Portfolio Management), but not creating new projects. Is this possible with just one Project Online subscription?
The other users would all have an Office 365 Enterprise 3/4 subscription for accessing Office 365, collaborating and updating their tasks. Project managers would have a Project Pro subscription for creating and uploading projects to Office 365.
Thank you in advance.

Helen,
Your question is slightly confusing, so let me try and say it this way:
1) Your PMs (multiple) will use Project Pro, to create and publish plans to Project Online
2) You will have one user who will 'administer' Project Online and create reports etc.,
3) You will not have any other users access Project Online
4) I am not sure about you 'SharePoint' comment--so excluding this.
The problem is that, Project Pro+Office 365 does not necessarily give you access to Project Online. This combination is more useful when you are using just Project Pro or using project Pro to sync plans with Task lists on SharePoint Site. Plans that are
uploaded this way will NOT appear in Project Online. So, the person who has the Project Online license will not have any data to report on.
Having said that, here are few options:
1) Stick with Project Pro +Office 365. Team Members can access "Task" lists in SharePoint Sites. In this scenario, Reporting will be somewhat complex, because each site is its own, and you might have to customize to be able to report across multiple sites.
2) If you want an easier Project Portfolio Management, Project Online is better. However, in this case, your PMs need to get Project Online with
Project Pro for Office 365 which will allow them to publish plans to Project Online. Then your user with project Online license can generate reports for the portfolio easily. In this scenario, if you want team members to be able to submit timesheets,
work with documents etc., you might want to look into getting the Project Lite for them (http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/31/project-lite-may-1st/)
Hope it helps.
