Submit new projects for inclusion in portfolio
After the Portfolio Analyst initiates a planning cycle, Oracle Workflow sends
notifications to the Oracle Projects users, defined on the distribution list, asking
them to submit projects to the planning cycle.
Oracle Project Portfolio Analysis collects the cost and benefits information from the
approved baseline versions of cost and revenue financial plans of portfolio projects.
Oracle Project Portfolio Analysis uses the financial plan information to calculate the
net present value, return on investment, internal rate of return, and payback period.
Score projects
Portfolio Analysis also allows the managers to evaluate and score projects based
on the company's strategic criteria. You can access the project scorecard from the
Project Setup page in Oracle Project Management :
The entered scores are weighted based on the weighting in the investment criteria.
You can view and change the scores on the Project Details page in a planning cycle,
but such changes are part of a planning scenario and do not affect the scores in the
project system.
