Using Scenarios
Several initiatives can relate to the same object, in the same portfolio, to represent different hypotheses (exclusive between themselves) of the same object.
scenarios can then be created by selection of a set of initiatives to be produced. The different scenarios created can be compared by means of specific reports:
A scenario is a projection in time of development of real objects through initiatives.Creating a Scenario
A scenario is a coherent set of initiatives enabling costing of a hypothesis in a transformation portfolio.
To create a scenario on a portfolio:
1. Open the Initiatives > Scenario properties dialog box of the portfolio you want to study.
2. Click the New button.
The scenario is created with a default name. It is also automatically connected to initiatives of the portfolio.
You can open its properties to modify its name if necessary or to define its properties.
Accepting or Rejecting Scenario Initiatives
An initiative must be accepted in order to be taken into account in a given scenario. Conversely, an initiative must be rejected if you want the scenario to ignore it.
To define initiatives to be taken into account in a scenario:
1. Open the Initiatives > Scenario properties dialog box of the portfolio you want to study.
2. Select the scenario that interests you.
The list of initiatives connected to the scenario appears in the Initiatives section.
3. In the matrix, click the cells at intersections of initiatives and scenarios and select one of the following values:
• In progress: the initiative is under study, it is integrated in the scenario
• Rejected: the initiative is not taken into account in the scenario
• Accepted: the initiative is integrated in the scenario.
