A scenario is a collection of hypothetical changes to an investment or to a portfolio. Hypothetical changes allow you to pose what-if questions about the investments you are managing and see the effects on resources, budget, and work breakdown structures.
With portfolio scenarios, you can model different sets of portfolio investments based on corporate planning decisions and evaluate trade-offs before selecting a specific course. The scenarios provide you the flexibility of making what-if evaluations to portfolio investments. They allow you to investigate changes you can make to the investments contained within your portfolio.
With portfolio scenarios, you can build portfolios quickly by finding the best mix of investments using a systematic procedure. Use portfolio scenarios to remove or delay an investment, alter the investment approval status, or modify the investment planned benefits or costs.
You can apply a scenario on top of targeted data and use it to evaluate proposed changes.
Example: Optimizing Available Resources
Create a scenario to determine how an investment (or investments) is optimized when applying additional resources and time, or delaying less critical investments.
Example: Funding Investments
An executive team builds a portfolio to represent all the work in the company or an individual department. The team decides on a set of investments to fund that the organization has capacity to execute.
