  3. ManagePro Adoption Process Innovators and Early Adopters represent 16% of the user population. They adopt new software because they are attracted to new features embedded in the software (Innovators), or because of the “leading edge” qualities or reviews of the software (Early Adopters). The Early Majority represents 34% of the user population and the group that is most influential in determining if software is to be adopted as part of the process in an organization. They adopt new software if enough data points are raised that they become discomforted with staying with the existing/old “system” (and its proven limitations and costs). Without the “proof”, the adoption of new software is viewed as an intrusion upon their already busy schedule - a fix for something that isn’t broke… and the adoption fails. The Late Majority represents 34% of the user population. They adopt new software after everyone else on the curve ahead of them has typically put it into place. The word adoption might better be framed as “compliance” or “acceptance”. This group adopts software when it is mandated, when it is part of the process, when not adopting the software would generate a fear of loss (losing status, losing available income, losing your position, losing your job, etc.)

  5. ManagePro Introduction Why Use the program? - Examples: a centralized information system that streamlines information exchange across departments; a process management system that clearly outlines responsibilities and assignments, reducing reliance upon people’s memory, and providing automatic tickler system; a project/process tracking system where anyone can see the most current status of a process, task, or property, including an early warning system when there is a problem or a potential problem; a report generator that mines the data from the database and produces the reports used internally and externally, reducing manual production of each report each time. What is ManagePro to you? -Examples: It’s a management information system for tracking processes, projects, properties, deliverables, key dates, documents, production, and performance It’s a system that everyone uses, and can be kept up in 30 minutes a day, while reducing the time spent on emails and meetings and ad-hoc requests It’s a system that we can all use to help each other work more efficiently, to leverage the information we process

  6. ManagePro Introduction Why Should You Use It? Examples: Benefit #1 - Reduce the amount of time spent looking for information as you work through the day (small amounts of time where people already have links, large amounts of time on tasks across departments) Benefit #2 – Not forgetting something and missing a date or a deliverable when you have so much going on. Making it easier for other team members to coordinate with you Benefit #3 - Reduce the amount of time it takes to generate reports and to respond to ad-hoc requests that are due to people requesting information from you Benefit #4 – Allow you to see the big picture and what’s coming next in a process, so you can anticipate, be prepared, and stay organized Benefit #5 - Provides a framework for making the improvements we want to see using a daily process of: 1. Prioritize and plan your work, 2. Work the plan and priorities 1 first, 3. Document your results What are the expectations from the training/going forward? What performance methods will be tracked initially?

  7. What Can You Use ManagePro For? Different business groups use ManagePro for different purposes, with the common goal of improving efficiency at work and leveraging information throughout the life-cycle of any project more effectively

  8. Preliminary Business Rules for Usage You’ll start with basic business rules to guide your use of ManagePro, and develop more specific and useful guidelines as you move through the training. Here’s an example of basic business rules to start with, to be completed or assigned by the Lead Person on each record:

To setup a record with a scorecard, in the Goal Details view click the Scoring tab to define scoring specifics. 2. Type refers to the format for the type of data you will be tracking in the Results field, e.g. $, % of #, and whether or not the Results field will be reflecting averages from sub-goals. On most properties the Results will reflect the current IRR value. 3. The Target is the metric for the objective, ex. The Rate of Return on Investment. 4. Set which color globes will represent what range of data valuesusing the variables and range fields 5. The Results value determines how the trend indicator is computed 6. If scoring the performance is to be used for personal review, check the performance checkbox (may need to be added to view) and confirmlead assignment. Only records checked for performance revieware transferred to ReviewWriter for automated reviews 7. Calculated fields can also function as scorecards, by defining a color globe range. 2. Results – the foundation of the tracking performance 2.1 The Results value, is taken from the latest progress update and the value contained in its results field – see the Progress Updatesequence of results entries in the goals detail form 2.2 Note: additional Results fields (userdefinedresults) can be added to progress updates.

Viewing Scorecards 3.1 The Target based Scorecards are viewed in the Scorecard tab, calculated field scorecards are viewed in Main Workspace Gantt Chart and Scorecard views. Note: Only records with a completed scorecard configuration are displayed in this view, only scorecards with more than one progress update display a trend arrow

Topic#11 Portfolio Management & Analytics Practice Tasks:Using Sample db, change analysis from geo region to product type and graph % of total • Working in the Analytics tab • Prior to working in the Analysis tab, you will need to define the criteria (either numbers or Pick-List field values) by which you will be “analyzing” the records, and enter those criteria values for each record. You will also need to consider how you will only include only the records pertinent to your analysis (by filtering). • Each view displays database based upon two criteria: • Which fields have been dragged into and are active in the pivot table and • What filter has been applied to the data (right click option). • Any pivot table can be switched back and forth as a graphical displayof one of the data columns at any time (right click option). • Right click options allow you to configure the format of columns, specifywhich columns to graph, what type of graph and add columns such as % of Total. • Any pivot table or graph can be copied to your clipboard and pasted into Excel, helpful if you are creating a composite dashboard display within an Excel format • Any configurations to the views are temporary, unless you have been granted configuration rights by the db admin. • Sort-based analysis is available with Main Workspace and Gantt Chart views by clicking to the right side of the column name
