Synopsis

This one-stop guide details how to integrate and use project portfolio management with SAP to support your business processes. Focused on cProjects and RPM -- as well as the integration with SAP Project System -- this guide describes the implementation and usage of the SAP tools for project portfolio management in a process-oriented way. It uses sample customer examples and projects to illustrate specific solution options, is based on the latest SAP releases, and includes an entire chapter on project procedures. Readers get a detailed overview of the typical requirements for a PPM solution, and learn how SAP supports the integration of sub-processes such as portfolio planning, project execution, time recording, and reporting. Expert insights into SAP RPM and its detailed configuration options: master data management, financial and capacity planning, questionnaires, scoring models, and metrics management serve to make this book indispensible. In addition, the configuration options and functions of cProjects are explained clearly with special attention paid to customizing the project structure, document and resource management, project alerts, evaluations, and more. Plus, find out how SAP RPM and cProjects integrate with SAP PS, SAP NetWeaver Portal, SAP NetWeaver BI, MS Project, and SAP ERP. Real-world customer examples illustrate how customer enhancements extend the scope of the solution scenario, including custom fields, cross-system versioning, and more.
