Dear SES colleagues:
Please use this base note to post your comments, queries, and suggestions
concerning the Project Management Forecasting Tool that is being
introduced to the Capability/Capacity Centers over the next few weeks.
WHAT IS THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT FORECASTING TOOL?
The Project Management Forecasting Tool allows a project manager to
forecast and track information about individual SES projects. It is
based on Excel and it consists of
* A template for entering data.
* A set of reports that can be generated from the data in
the template. These reports can be rolled up to reports used by
SES Staff.
LOCATION OF THE TOOL
Within the next week the Project Management Forecasting Tool will be placed in
THEWIZ. Here are pointers to:
* The template for the Project Managment Forecasting Tool
THEWIZ::OPT002:[WORKBENCH.PROJECT_MGT]PMFTEMP1.EXE
* The user guide
THEWIZ::OPT002:[WORKBENCH.PROJECT_MGT]PMFTGID1.EXE
HISTORY
In mid September of this year SES Staff created a team of representatives
from the various CCCs to develop a project management tool. The team
is led by John Piantedosi and includes Sylvia Milanese, Alice Phalen,
Elaine Pzegeo, Carol Schiavone, and Bill Walker.
