Project Management: Various Functions (Enhanced)

Use

The following enhancements to Project Management are available as of SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0 SP09:

  • Milestone Trend Analysis
The milestone trend analysis enables you to analyze the progress of your projects and recognize schedule deviations at an early stage. It can be displayed within projects on the new Milestone Trend Analysis view.
The milestone trend analysis is based on the snapshots available for a project as well as the current project data. For each project task that is flagged as a milestone, it displays the planned finish dates saved in the individual snapshots as well as the current project data.
The data of the milestone trend analysis can be displayed in a business graphic and in an ALV table. It can be filtered, downloaded to Microsoft Excel, and printed as a graphic or as a PDF document.
  • Filter for Project Templates
You can define your own logic for filtering the project templates offered for selection during project creation. This enables you to reduce the number of templates displayed to those relevant to the particular context or user. When you activate the Show All Templates checkbox in the Create dialog box for projects, you ensure that users can still display and use all available templates for a project type if required.
  • Gantt Chart Optimization
The Gantt chart optimization enables you to display additional project phase and task information directly on the bar chart. This enhancement is available in the Graphic subview of the project structure. Note, however, that it is not supported in the multi-project monitor, or when you choose the Compare function in the Graphic subview of a project.
To display the additional information on a Gantt chart, go to User Settings and select the required constraint information and other related project data under Show Additional Gantt Information. For each piece of information that you want to display, choose either Label with Information or Information, depending on your requirements.
Constraint information is displayed using different arrows for each constraint type. You can shift constraint dates; that is, the arrows depicting constraints, directly in the chart. These changes are reflected on the Detailsand Tablesubviews, updating your project at runtime. You can also delete constraints directly from the chart by right-clicking the mouse for each constraint arrow that is to be deleted. Each phase or task for which you want to edit or delete a constraint must be switched to edit mode. Otherwise, constraint dates cannot be adapted in the graphic.
