Defining Project Domains
A project can be defined in a given project domain.
The project domain defines the sector and the application scope of the project (for example: business function, IT, search and development). It is the container of a set of projects on which an arbitration can be conducted.
Two arbitration portfolios are automatically associated with a project domain:
• demand portfolios
• candidate project portfolios and projects in progress

To create a project domain:
1. Click the Projects > Project Domains navigation menu.
2. In the edit window, click New.

When you create a domain, the two types of portfolios that correspond to the different project statuses (project demands, candidate projects and projects in progress), are also created. They are visible in the Project Portfolios.
