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.
Then, some Scenarios can be created by selection of a set of processes. 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 processes enabling the cost of a hypothesis in process portfolio.
To create a scenario on a portfolio:
1. Open the Characteristics property page of the portfolio that interests you.
2. Expand the Scenario section and click New.
The scenario is created with a default name. It is also automatically connected to processes of the portfolio.
You can open the scenario properties to modify its name if necessary or to define its properties.
Accepting or Rejecting Scenario Processes
A process must be accepted in order to be taken into account in a given scenario. Conversely, a process must be rejected if you want the scenario to ignore it.
To define processes be taken into account in a scenario:
1. Open the Characteristics properties page of the portfolio you want to study.
2. In the Scenario section, select the scenario you are interested in.
The list of processes connected to the scenario appears in the matrix.
3. In the matrix, click the cells at intersections of processes and scenarios and select one of the following values:
• In progress: the process is under study, it is integrated in the scenario
• Rejected: the process is not taken into account in the scenario
• Accepted: the process is integrated in the scenario
