Project Portfolio Analysis

Available in the latest release of Oracle Enterprise Project Management (May 2005), Oracle Project Portfolio Analysis helps organizations evaluate, analyze, prioritize, and select the right set of projects supported by financial goals, strategic goals, and available funds. An iterative process will help your organization make the right business decisions when your environment changes due to budgetary or strategy adjustments, mergers and acquisitions, and competitive positioning.

Integrate And Streamline Your Project Portfolio Analysis Processes
Oracle Project Portfolio Analysis is part of the Oracle Projects family of applications, which integrates seamlessly with other Oracle E-Business Suite applications, including Oracle Financials, Oracle Supply Chain Management, Oracle Human Resources Management, Oracle Customer Relationship Management, Oracle Sales, Oracle Advanced Procurement and the Oracle Collaboration Suite.

Establish Common Corporate Objectives

Determine Total Project Cost

• Calculate total project cost, in multiple currencies, based on resource plan, workplan, and commitments at any level of task, resource or period.

Score and Rank Projects

• Quantitatively and qualitatively prioritize projects-based categories, such as strategic fit, financial justification, or total investment required.

Create and Compare "What If" Scenarios

• Graphically uncover the true impact a new project, or multiple scenarios of that new project, will have on all current projects in your organization's portfolio.
