Introduction to Process Portfolio use
By means of portfolio management, HOPEX Business Process Analysis enables planning over time of development of organizations and more generally all enterprise architecture.
Depending on the HOPEX products you have available, different object types can be described in enterprise portfolios.
Describing and Analyzing Portfolios
You can define contents of a portfolio directly from its diagram. This offers many advantages:
• Each initiative can be defined simply and rapidly. The icon of the object with which the initiative is associated appears in the diagram.
• Initiatives relating to the same program can be assembled in an initiative group.
• Dependency links between initiatives can be represented graphically.
HOPEX Business Process Analysis compares your initiatives on standard criteria such as costs, benefits or risks. You can also define criteria specific to your context.
Reports dedicated to portfolios allow you to create charts enabling analysis of portfolios on different comparison criteria you have defined.
Analysis reports can be grouped in a HOPEX book or integrated in an Internet site.
Developing portfolios
Objects of your enterprise, such as applications or processes, will without doubt develop. So that representation of your organization remains updated, your models will be modified.
Used with other HOPEX Suite products, HOPEX Business Process Analysis allows you to plan and follow up these developments which are transferred to all processes in which the elements concerned intervene.
• You can quickly access objects of which development is planned.
• You can transfer the impacts of development of a process to other programs in which this element appears.
• You can regenerate all reports in which this object is involved.
In this chapter, you will discover these tools and learn how to use them.
