Program/Project Portfolio Reporting/Analysis

Interperative Examples

• The Waterfall Portfolio Report (above) tracks each project constituent group’s performance assessments across multiple Programs and Portfolios
  
  
• Constituent groups for Agile Projects are:
  Backlog, Retrospective and Demonstration meetings
  
  
• Constituent groups for Waterfall Projects are:
  Steering Committee, Project Team, Stakeholders, and Working Groups

• At each project constituent group meeting, members assess:
  
  
• Meeting Quality Score (MQS)
  (combination of meeting satisfaction level and overall Meeting Promoter Score (MPS) for that meeting)
  
  
• Project Success Probability (PSP)
  (their estimate of the project’s ultimate success)

• In the Waterfall Portfolio Report (above):
  
  
  • The dark blue colored cells (for PSP) illustrate that both the Project Team (40%) and Stakeholders (25%) feel that Project B is unlikely to succeed
    
    
  • Note that the Project Team's MQS (35%) is quite low
    
    
  • During this same period, Steering Committee members believe strongly (80%) that Project B will succeed
    
    
  • This indicates that there is a high probability that an over optimistic Project Manager may be withholding certain information from the Steering Committee
