STR41 -Strategy Process Analysis - Lifecycle Stage

Overview

Strategy/program portfolio report showing data on program lifecycles to aid analysis on throughput, volume and cycle time.  Report can be run against and sliced by different attributes.

Business Outcomes

  • Supports the tracking of performance in terms of volume, throughput and cycle times for projects through the project lifecycle.
  • Provides data to support the optimization of the project lifecycle process.
  • Supports the tracking of performance in terms of volume, throughput and cycle times for programs and Initiatives through the program lifecycle.
  • Provides data to support the optimization of the program lifecycle process.

Administrative: User Parameter Configuration

Parameters Description Configuration Options Default/Example Settings
Report View Determines the default view of the report.  A value of 0 (Dashboard) will show the charts but will collapse all the details.  A value of 1 (Chart + Summary) will expand the summaries but keep the details collapsed.  A value of 2 (Chart + Details) will render a fully expanded report.  The “Dashboard” selection (report_view=0) will also hide the detail table. report_view=0
Table Format Defines how the detail table at the bottom is formatted The value “sectiongroup” renders a table with grouping, whereas “plain” renders a table that’s good for analysis in Excel.  Neither of these apply when the report view is “Dashboard” because the table is hidden. table_format=sectiongroup
Range start This parameter determines the start of the range of dates that are preselected The value represents the number of months from the current month.  So a value of zero (0) represents the current month.  A value of -11 would be 12 months ago. horizon_start=-11
Range end This parameter determines the Finish of the range of dates that are preselected The value represents the number of months from the current month.  So a value of zero (0) represents the current month.  A value of -11 would be 12 months ago. horizon_finish=0

           

           

Administrative: Hidden Parameter Configuration

Parameters Description Configuration Options Default/Example Settings
Table Columns Report supports 3 required/grouped columns plus 3 optional columns.   First three configurable values display grouped columns sbs_level_2_strategy
sbs_level_3_strategy
spsstatus_strategy
sps2_strategy 
Analyze attribute Attribute for which process cycle times are being measured. A default can be set using:
  • analyze_attribute=
Any alternate structure attribute in the framework, marked as analyzable, that has charting colors assigned can be used for slicing in the report.

Note: It is important to consider the default report title matches the default analyze attribute value of Lifecycle Stage and should subsequently be updated in unison.
The default RPM configuration for is set to analyze by:
  • Lifecycle Stage
Expressed in the parameter defaults node of the RPM report configuration structure as:
  • analyze_attribute=wbs28_strategy
Filtered Attribute The entries defined for this parameter control which attribute values for the analyze attribute are to be included in the analysis.

 
A default can be set using:
  • filtered_value=
Possible values are the structure codes of analyzable attribute values (leaf entries).

Multiple entries are expected; one for each value to be included.

A blank entry means all values of the analyze attribute are included in the analysis, i.e no filtering.
The default RPM configuration for is set to:
  • No filtering
Expressed in the parameter defaults node of the RPM report configuration structure as:
  • filtered_value=
Report Title Configurable report title that appears at the top of the report. If a longer report title is required, then create additional report_title=xxx entries and these will be concatenated together based on the order in which they are listed in the configuration structure. report_title=Project Process Analysis - Lifecycle Stage

           

           

Additional Information

  • The short names associated with charting colors for the attribute of lifecycle role drives the abbreviated value used in the charts.
  • ​The first value of the Lifecycle Stage attribute should be set via an auto scripted dialog at project initiation not based on the default value that exists in the structure definition.
