Oracle Prime

Projects Cloud Service

Oracle Prime Projects Cloud Service is an enterprise solution that allows

users to manage scope, schedule, cost, resource and risk information of a

project. Real-time visibility to project cost, schedule, risk and performance

information allows project managers and stakeholders to make the right

decisions. In-built enterprise social collaboration such as share and

discussions allow project teams to communicate effectively in real time and

manage project planning, monitoring, execution processes efficiently. Flexible

and powerful dashboard and reporting capabilities allow stakeholders to have

critical information at their fingertips.

• Unite project teams and stakeholders with a host of collaboration and

feedback capabilities on the cloud

• Integrate scope, cost and schedule solutions under a single platform

• Leverage Prime’s easy interface and

simple deployment which saves time, money, and reduces risk of change

resistance

• Empower users with more autonomy and a greater contribution to value

added work

Manage Project Scope (Scope Management)

Project managers need a set of tools that will allow them to manage the scope of work

that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product or services. Prime Projects cloud

service allows project managers and schedulers to plan and manage all aspects of

scope during a project’s lifecycle including equipment installation, laying of cables and

lines, or project documentation, etc..,..

Project managers, schedulers and other stakeholders of the project can plan, manage

and monitor project deliverables effectively utilizing the features of scope management.

Figure 1. Oracle Prime Projects is a full project scope management tool.

Progress measurement techniques such as physical % complete and rules of credit

can be used to measure scope progress. Quantity-based progress can be assigned to

individual scope to capture progress % complete.

Cost Management

Cost management allows project managers and key stakeholders to capture budget,

perform forecast analysis, and predict impending expenses to help reduce the chance

of going over budget. Oracle Prime Projects cloud service offers a 100% cloud tool that

allows project managers to manage basic to complex cost management scenarios.

Figure 2. Oracle Prime’s cost sheet functionality provides detailed cost data to ensure projects are staying on track.

Prime Projects utilizes a spreadsheet like interface to manage project budget, budget

changes and transfers. Interacts with various parts of the project to provide a single

location to manage project cost including forecast information.

Cost management is an integral part of Prime offering functional capabilities that form

the backbone of project controls.

Schedule Management

Project planning and scheduling are two key elements of effective project

management. A well-developed project schedule allows project managers to manage

project milestones, deliverables and timeline effectively.

Prime Schedule Management is a cloud based tool that is well integrated with other

modules to provide a comprehensive project management solution.

Prime helps organizations complete

projects on-time and within budget by

enabling them to prioritize, plan,

manage, and evaluate projects by

providing an integrated cloud based

solution between cost, schedule,

scope, risk, resources and

commitments.

Figure 4. Plan and schedule projects with Prime’s Schedule Management module.

Interactive activity Gantt charts allow planners, schedulers and project managers to

communicate a more accurate and complete graphical representation of a project’s

schedule in real time over the cloud. Integration with capabilities of Prime allows users

to keep track of project scope, resource assignment and perform resource and role

leveling.

Resource Management

Resource Management is an integral part of project management. Prime Projects

cloud service allows project managers to manage hierarchy based resource and roles

per project. Prime will also allow customers to manage these roles and resources at

enterprise level and allow project managers to utilize them on need basis at project

level.

Resources and Roles can be assigned to activities as part of resource assignment

capabilities allowing project managers to resource load the project schedule.

Figure 5. Prime Resource Management allows project managers to create and manage

hierarchical roles

Resource Analysis can be performed to determine over and underutilization of both

resources and roles. Visual representation of resource and role assignment analysis in

the form of histograms will allow project managers to determine where resources are

under or over utilized.

Leveling can be performed on resource assignment to balance out resource or role

assignment to minimize over or under utilization.

Risk Management

Risk Management provides the necessary tools that allow project professionals to

manage risk easily and successfully. Prime Projects cloud service offers the following

features:

Risk register to view and prioritize project risk.

Tools to define risk thresholds and scoring matrices for qualitative analysis.

The risk sensitivity data is displayed for the project cost and finish date including

viewing options for the sensitivity results.

Work Management

Prime Work Management provides set of tools to improve the coordination and

planning process between planners, supervisors and field users. The tools provide

more control to field users to decide how to execute their work with minimal waste.

The Work Plan interface allows supervisors, planned and field users to come together

and work on a single plan. The module will allow users to create tasks under a

“Hopper” and associate it with an activity.

Figure 11. Work Plan makes weekly planning and monitoring simple.

During the planning cycle, tasks can be dragged and placed on planning board. Drag a

task to different weekly bucket. Commit to perform a task on a specific due date.

Complete a task that is done. Recommit a task that is not done. Provide reasons for

not completing a task as committed. Finally, monitor weekly planned percent complete

and reasons metrics in dashboard.



Mobile Interface

A native, purpose-built mobile application provides users with a rich, targeted user

interface and experience.

Figure 12. Prime Mobile provides flexibility and convenience for all stakeholders.

Device specific capabilities such as camera support, offline mode, and notifications can

be leveraged to address various business needs.

Figure 13. Prime Mobile allows field user to access and progress deliverables remotely.

Field engineers and installation crews can provide real time updates of project scope

and activities that allows Project Managers and others to monitor and keep track of the

progress.

Field users can also access documents that are linked to project scope and activities to

get their job done.



Figure 14. Prime Mobile document viewing capability along with annotations

Field users can easily create, plan and status tasks created under Work Plan. Users

will be able to access these tasks from job sites and provide update. The updates

provided by these users will help project planners and supervisors with real time

information about the progress of the work.

Document Management

Prime includes a robust document manager module. Whether high-level basis-of

design documents or detailed specifications, all documentation utilizes tight permission

controls to manage access across the enterprise. Features include check-in and

check-out, version control, and full text search for more than 500+ document types.

Built-in document viewing technology which allows users to view all type of documents

without the need to install a native application.

Ability to sync project documents from the user’s desktop without additional client

software provides extended flexibility for users to upload documents without logging

into Prime.
