Abstract
The disclosure relates to systems, methods and computer readable media for managing, analyzing and displaying project portfolios and their various interdependencies. More specifically, the disclosure relates to systems, methods and computer readable media for analyzing critical workstream data which connection with other workstreams in the same or other projects affect coordination and other milestones, and displaying project portfolios and their various interdependencies, in a three-layer configuration providing higher degree of data granularity at each layer.
Claims20
A system for sharing and analyzing a plurality of workstreams' data for project portfolio management (PPM) over a network, comprising:
- a) a workstream module;
- b) a display module;
- and
- c) a graphical user interface (GUI) module in communication with the workstream module and the display module, providing a GUI to allow user-access to said workstream module, said GUI module comprises a central processing module (CPM) including at least one processor and a non-volatile memory storage device storing thereon a processor-readable media with a set of executable instructions configured, when executed to cause the at least one processor, using the display to simultaneously display:
- a plurality of actionable project icons, each actionable project icon associated with a project in the project portfolio, wherein each of the displayed actionable project icons is operable as a sub-menu associated with a selectable, specific project, the specific project sub menu operable to be displayed upon actuation of the specific actionable project icon from the plurality of actionable project icons;
- a plurality of actionable milestone icons for each of the plurality of projects, wherein each actionable milestone icon is associated with a milestone of the associated project;
- and
- a progress indicator for each of the plurality of projects.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory memory storage device having a computer readable medium (CRM) therein for project portfolio management, the CRM comprising a set of executable instructions configured to, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform the steps of:
- a) obtaining from a user a plurality of projects data associated with a project portfolio;
- b) obtaining from the user a plurality of workstreams data associated with each project in the project portfolio;
- c) obtaining from the user a plurality of milestone for each of the plurality of projects;
- d) obtaining from the user a progress indicator for each of the plurality of projects;
- e) storing the plurality of projects, the plurality of workstreams and the plurality of milestones on the non-transitory memory storage device;
- and
- f) using a graphical user interface (GUI) module in communication with a workstream module and a display module included with the article of manufacture, generating and simultaneously displaying:
- a plurality of actionable project icons, each actionable project icon associated with a project in the project portfolio, wherein each of the displayed actionable project icons is operable via the CRM as a sub-menu associated with a selectable, specific project, the CRM configured to display the specific project sub menu upon selection of the specific actionable project icon from the plurality of actionable project icons displayed;
- a plurality of actionable milestone icons for each of the plurality of projects, wherein each actionable milestone icon is associated with a milestone of the associated project;
- and
- a progress indicator for each of the plurality of projects.
