Project Prioritization

Once the portfolio has been defined, projects
will be prioritized based on how the Project
Manager ranked the projects against the
business drivers on the Strategic Impact page.
Calculated Driver Prioritization
• System calculates the consistency ratio
• Inconsistent prioritizations should be reviewed and the prioritization exercise repeated
Analyze Cost
The initial calculation is automatically saved as the baseline scenario. The baseline scenario represents the unconstrained selection of every project.
12
Efficient Frontier
The efficient frontier represents the greatest strategic value for a specific price point.
• Baseline achieves 100% strategic value
Strategic Alignment
• The system first calculates the scores for each project as rated against the specific drivers
• Then the approximate budget to be allocated against each driver is calculated
• Breakdown of how much of each project cost is allocated to specific drivers
Scatter Chart
Four different project types are graphically depicted on the scatter chart
