Strategies for configuring Oracle Projects Earned Value Management to meet DoD standards
Written by Administrator
E-Business Suite Releases 11i10 FP-M RUP4 to 12.1.2AbstractIntroduced in the 1960's Earned Value Management (EVM) has rapidly become the de facto standard in measuring the progress or overall health of a project. Instead of monitoring single dimensioned attributes (e.g., budgeted cost vs. actual cost) Earned Value Management combines the scope, schedule and cost objectives of a project to provide an integrated and accurate assessment of the overall health of a project. This methodology allows project managers to track the amount of work that had been planned with what was accomplished and actually spent to determine whether the cost and schedule are progressing as planned. With the release of Oracle Projects Family Pack M you can now manage projects using Earned Value Management principles and leverage some of the robust functionality within the Oracle Projects suite. This paper discusses the various configuration options and processes that can be leveraged to meet the new DoD EVMS standards. Request Paper  |

Techniques for Managing Risks within Project Centric Organizations.
Written by Administrator
E-Business Suite Releases 11i10 FP-M RUP4 to 12.1.2 and Rysigo's Collborative Project Risk Mgt software.AbstractThere are many reasons for the need to effectively manage project risk and organizations like the Project Management Institute provide a good foundation on understanding this area. However, in today's global economy there has been an increase in what I will call "Structured Work". Not everyone realizes that the work they undertake can be modeled as a project, in fact, any work that we undertake will generally require resource(s), has a scope and a timeline but the mere mention of the word “Project” to some, suggests a paradigm shift thats frowned upon through fear. Since the technological advances of the 1980's, corporate complexity, the rise of globalization have all had a part to play in increasing operational challenges. Project teams no longer consist of just the project manager and the immediate team, but can consist of back office staff responsible for project administrative and accounting functions, vendors who may supply materials or services, partners and of course the customer. To add to this complexity, project teams no longer reside within the same office space, but can span multiple locations and even continents - each of these challenges can increase 'hidden' risk on a project.

Project Analytics and Project Reporting beyond Oracle Projects Family Pack M
Written by Administrator
E-Business Suite Releases 11i10 FP-M RUP4 to 12.1.2AbstractSince the release of Oracle Projects Family Pack M and Oracle's string of acquisitions there has been much confusion surrounding which reporting path to follow for Projects centric organizations. Project Status Inquiry, Project Performance Reporting, Project Analytics, Discoverer EUL's, Project Status Reporting, Project Managers Reporting Pack etc are just a few of the options that are currently available. Each reporting solution offers specific capability that can be targeted to the appropriate project member and understanding that is vital to deploy the right solution. Whilst one can argue that each customer has specific reporting needs, make no mistake that even a custom report needs to pull information from a specific database view which is delivered ultimately by an Oracle Projects reporting solution.

Managing a Portfolio of Projects within Oracle Projects
Written by Administrator
E-Business Suite Releases 11i10 FP-M RUP4 to 12.1.2AbstractOne of the major phases of any project centric organization is its ability to select the right set of projects to pursue. Whilst this may seem relatively straight forward, there are many factors that influence which projects actually get selected and approved. For example, strategic corporate wide initiatives may be driving a set of key goals down through the company, this may well need to be balanced with organizational or customer driven intiatives adding to the complexity. Project Portfolio Analysis delivered through Oracle Projects Family Pack M is a new HTML based product that facilitates the optimum mix of selected projects to meet a set of objectives. Integrated with the Oracle Projects Suite, it facilitates the collection of projects and ranking those against a set of objectives. Furthermore, by creating multiple scenarios you can fine tune or find the most optimum set of projects that will provide you with the maximum return on your investment. Request Paper |

How to deploy Project Performance Reporting within Oracle Projects - Successfully
Written by Administrator
E-Business Suite Releases 11i10 FP-M RUP4 to 12.1.2AbstractOne of the biggest challenges faced by the uptake of Oracle Projects Family Pack M has been that of the Project Performance Reporting area. Customers who were at the forefront of deploying Oracle Projects Family Pack M were able to identify the issues for the Oracle Development team to address rapidly and though concern within this area is still abundant significant improvements have led to a smoother uptake. Project Performance Reporting is the flagship functionality within the Oracle Proejcts Family Pack M release enabling robust and integrated reporting across a project and program. The key to deploying the functionality is to understand its capability, system requirement, processing need and configuration options. Request Paper |

Understanding Earned Value Management within Oracle Projects
Written by Administrator
E-Business Suite Releases 11i10 FP-M RUP4 to 12.1.2AbstractIntroduced in the 1960's Earned Value Management (EVM) has rapidly become the de facto standard in measuring the progress or overall health of a project. Instead of monitoring single dimensioned attributes (e.g., budgeted cost vs. actual cost) Earned Value Management combines the scope, schedule and cost objectives of a project to provide an integrated and accurate assessment of the overall health of a project. This methodology allows project managers to track the amount of work that had been planned with what was accomplished and actually spent to determine whether the cost and schedule are progressing as planned. With the release of Oracle Projects Family Pack M you can now manage projects using Earned Value Management principles and leverage some of the robust functionality within the Oracle Projects suite. For example, the EVM methodology can be further enhanced by leveraging the Project Exceptions functionality to define specific rules against EVM metrics (such as CPI) and thereby providing an automated control for managing project risk. Exception rules when added to the project can alert project stakeholders when key metric thresholds are violated. Project Managers can then provide insight into corrective measures being taken thereby building a chronological audit of exceptions occurred and corrections being pursued. Request Paper |
