The following automated processes are included to help you manage the project lifecycle, starting from idea review and approval to project creation:
The Document Review process manages the review workflow for Proposal or Operations types of documents.
Ideas let you conduct analysis that is more expedient at an earlier stage. The analysis is in an attempt to filter out poor, or financially unfeasible ideas before they become investments. You can track and convert ideas into investment opportunities.
The Issue Review and Escalation process manages the review workflow for high-priority project issues.
The Create Application Change Project process creates a project based on the Application Change Template.
The Create Application COTS Project process creates a project based on the Application COTS Template.
The Create Infrastructure Project process creates a project based on the IT Infrastructure Deployment Template.
The Create Major IT Project process creates a project based on the Major IT Project Template.
Project templates allow you to create projects based on standard tasks and role assignments for that project type. Templates help ensure consistency and efficiency in creating projects.
The Idea Review process uses these templates to create these types of projects for you. Alternatively, you can use these templates to create projects.
You can change the templates to suit your organization demands and requirements. You can also duplicate these templates to create new project templates for each of your organization project types.
Important! To use the Major IT Project approval and gate review processes, change the names and properties of the last tasks in each phase. But do not change the IDs. The gate review process starts when tasks with the specific IDs are completed.
