Prioritizing Project Requests

After users have submitted project requests, you have the option of prioritizing these projects. Prioritizing project requests helps you decide which projects should be approved and how they should be scheduled.

Note : The only projects that appear in the Prioritizing Projects page are the projects that have been requested and are not yet approved.

You can also:

Review project profiles before prioritizing the project. See Reviewing Project Profiles.
Estimate baseline schedules and costs for proposed project action items before you decide which projects to approve. For information on estimating project schedules and costs, see the Estimating Baseline Schedules and Costs topic.
Evaluate alternative scenarios for resolving deferred maintenance items. For more information, see the Analyze Facility Condition Index Scenarios topic.

To prioritize project requests:

In the Navigator,
From Capital Budgeting and Projects, select the Prioritize & Estimate / Prioritize Projects task.

From Commissioning, select the Planning / Prioritize Commissioning Projects task.
If needed, use the Filter console to set a restriction on the projects that are displayed.
Click the Show button.
All projects within your restriction that have been requested and are not yet approved are displayed.
Select a project in the Requested Projects list.
Assign the project a Project Priority number, such as 1, 2, or 3.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to assign priority numbers to additional projects.
Click Save to save your changes.
You can now use this information when approving or scheduling projects.
