Using Scenarios
You can represent different evolution hypotheses of a portfolio within a process portfolio.
To do so, different scenarios can be created and compared via 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 appropriate portfolio.
2. Display the Owned Scenario section with the Manage sections button.
3. In the Owned Scenario section, 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 property page of the portfolio you want to study.
2. In the Owned Scenario section, access the Characteristics property page of the appropriate scenario.
The list of processes connected to the scenario appears in the Initiative of transformation section.
3. In the Decision column, select one of the following values:
• In progress: the process is under study, it is integrated in the scenario
• Reject: the process in not integrated in the scenario
• Accept: the process is integrated in the scenario
