DEMAND MANAGEMENT
![Page 7: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

What is Demand Management?
Part of the overall Project Server 2010 solution
You can capture all work proposals in one single place
Workflows are a component of Demand Management which you can use to automate your existing business processes –optional, not required
You can create customized workflows as well as pages for displaying and collecting information from the end users
Workflows, along with other key concepts, are captured and integrated within the demand management feature set

Business Driver
• Business Drivers represent an organization’s business objectives in Project
Server 2010
• Create drivers in the Business Driver Library
• May be associated with zero or more Departments
• Drivers are prioritized to reflect organization’s perceived business impact and
importance
![Page 14: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Calculated Driver Prioritization
System calculates the consistency ratio
Inconsistent prioritizations may make sense in some instances but should be
reviewed carefully

Portfolio Analyses
Portfolio analyses are a collection of projects that will compete for selection
based on their cost relative to their strategic value
Prioritization of Projects:
By Business Drivers
By Custom Field
![Page 19: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Project Interdependencies
Project dependency relationship will be respected during portfolio selection scenario calculations There are following types of interdependencies:
Dependency: If Project A selected, Project B must be selected Mutual Inclusion: For a set of projects, if one project is selected, all projects in the set must be selected. Mutual Exclusion: For a set of projects, only one project in the set can be selected (Alternatives). Finish to Start: Used in Resource Constraint Analysis for identifying scheduling constrains
![Page 20: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Force In/Out
A portfolio may contain projects that must be either selected or not selected,
regardless of their cost/value ratio or their dependencies on other projects.
Aliases available for “Force In/Out” per analysis
Examples:
A non-strategic project that must be implemented because of legal
compliance issues will need to be “forced in” the portfolio.
A very costly project might need to be “forced out” of a portfolio to free up
resources for other projects and improve the portfolio’s overall ROI

Resource Constraint Analysis
Simplified Algorithm – Resource
Allocation
• Portfolios may also be analyzed by their high-level resource requirements
combined with their prioritization
• Higher priority projects are resourced first, lower priority projects are
resourced last.
• If resource availability does not meet a given project’s demand for any period
for any role, that project is not resourced and the project with the next lowest
priority is examined

Portfolio Comparison
Portfolio selections scenarios should be adjusted and recalculated until a
scenario is reached that should be finalized or compared with other scenarios
Portfolios may be compared with each other by:
Projects Selected
Strategic Value
Custom Fields (example: ROI )
![Page 29: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Commit Portfolio Analysis
Decisions Once you have completed your portfolio analysis, the final step is to commit your
portfolio
Optionally, committed portfolios may kick off a workflow

Project Server Workflows
Not all EPTs require workflows
Allows for a custom approval process
Workflow supports:
Simple Project Lifecycle (single stage/approval)
Complex Project Lifecycle (multi-stage/approval)
Overlaid on SharePoint Workflows
Create Custom Workflows created in Microsoft®
Visual Studio® 2010 (SharePoint Designer is NOT
supported)
![Page 38: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Changing an EPT mid-lifecycle
A project or proposal’s EPT may be changed in mid-lifecycle if necessary
Current workflow will end and new EPT’s workflow will begin
New EPTs pages will be loaded
Save current page’s data prior to changing EPT

Workflow Phases
• Collection of Stages grouped together to identify a
common set of activities in the project life cycle
• Used as a placeholder – Typically used for identification purposes
– Group Stages together
• Phases do not directly affect Project Detail Pages
For example,
A phase is like an empty file
folder with a name on the tab

Workflow Approvals
PWA -> “Workflow Approvals” in the Approvals section of Quick Launch
The approval process allows decision-makers :
Ability to tightly control which projects continue along in their
lifecycle
Provide input to people who are submitting the project proposals
Project Server Workflow Tasks
Items requiring review and approval displayed
Edit Item to comment and make an approval/rejection decision
Approver may be notified by email
“Edit this task” on the message in Outlook
Default WF approvers in PWA (security
group):
Portfolio Managers
![Page 52: Project Server 2010 for Demand Management](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060114/557212d5497959fc0b9108a5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Approval Configuration
Typically approvals are placed between
Stages and Phases
Stages and Phases do not necessarily
have to have approvals to proceed
Approval Process is based on SharePoint
