Task Structure for Waterfall and Agile Projects

Does anyone have recommendations on how to efficiently set up tasks lists in PPM Pro depending on whether the project is using Agile, Waterfall or Hybrid.  Do you have examples?  Also, when building it out, what are best practices for having resources charge time to tasks?

Forecasting Resources for Requests

Is there anyone in the community that uses Request Module (Gates, etc.) AND forecasts resources for those requests. We are only finding that you have to make the request a project before you can forecast resources. Our team wants to enter several requests and forecast/review our resources for these requests against projects in process to see if the project is feasible to do in current year or future. We are looking for any advice on how to do this. Thank you.

Is there a column in Task List view that shows tasks with overallocated resources scheduled?

In the Task List view, there does not appear to be any way to mark all tasks that have overallocated resources. For e.g. MS Project puts a red resource icon in the Info column making it easy for the PM to go to such tasks at a glance. The only way in PPM Pro seems to be to click into each task and check.If not, is there a way to achieve this with a calculated field?

PPM PRO Resource Staffing Notifications

When adding a note to a request (i.e. from the Project staffing screen) is the designated staffer notified via email?  and when the designated staffer reply’s back - is the project manager getting an email?  We are not seeing where this would happen.

Is there a way to drill down to a published dashboard?

When creating a report in PPM Pro, the drill down field lets you select a dashboard to drill down to, but there does not seem to be a way to select the published version of a dashboard (instead of the live version) so that unlicensed people can open them?Did anyone find a solution for this?Thanks

Pre-loading Timesheets in PPM Pro

Did you know that you can configure recurring entries to automatically appear on future timesheets in PPM Pro? You can pin a timesheet entry so that it keeps the entry on all the timesheets after the one where pinning occurred. So now you don’t need to manually go and search projects and tasks every single time you enter the timesheets.Here is how it works. Step 1: For entering the time sheet entries go to timesheet from the side section and click on add new  Step 2: Select the project and add the all the time sheet details. Select the box for pinning the time sheet entry. Save the entry Step 3: Now while you are entering the timesheet on an upcoming week you can see the timesheet entry that has been pinned in the past.

Project Financials

New to Project so maybe its just a configuration on our end.  But here goes:  Under the Financials section we entered yearly revenues for our projects. The revenue forecast line only seems to accommodate one type of revenue, one source. We have multiple sources we would like to enter, at a minimum two (domestic and international). Right now to solve this issue with a temporary fix: we entered the second source of revenue (Int'l) into "Actuals" and this is charted as such  this is not ideal. We would like to eventually create a consolidated portfolio revenue report giving visibility to these multiple types of revenues from multiple projects. I attached the current set-up. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you!

How do you compare project baselines?

The ability to create project plan baselines is still in PPM Pro, but the ability to compare baselines and create a report seems to be moved to Reports (Legacy) and seems to be very limiting.Is there an updated approach to comparing task baselines? I can’t find one in Reports.TIA

Restricted Fields not showing on reports

We have four restricted fields in our project form however we have “show on filters and show on reports” checked off.  Only the three people in the restricted group can see those reports based on those fields.  Does “Show on reports” not mean what we think it means?  Does it mean it is only viewable to those that have access to that field?

Add a Calc field function to grab Financial contour info using filters

I believe this is already an enhancement request but wanted to put this out there to see how many others would want this feature. Background, not too long ago, the “GetStaffingData” function was added to access staffing data using filters. Great idea and I have a couple of customers using it. I’d like to see something similar for Financials. I have several customers who are now using PPM Pro’s Financials and being able to slice and dice financial data would be enhanced if we could use Calc fields to slice the data as needed and report on it.

Ability to contour capacity?

It’s not very common, but we have some team members whose available capacity varies by quarter. Just like there’s an ability to contour allocations, is there a way to contour available capacity multiplier?If not, does anyone have a reasonable alternative?TIA!
