cProject Suite
The cProject Suite consists of two web-based applications:
cFolders for design collaboration
cProjects in a Nutshell
Clear definition of deliverables and responsibilities Flexible project structuring by phases with gates, tasks, checklists Standardizes processes by using templates Scheduling via interactive Gantt-Chart Multi-project management Project versioning, simulation and status reports Project Resource Planning Collaborative work on tasks with external partners using cFolders Various integration scenarios, f.ex. integration to: Project System, mySAP ERP Financials, business objects via links, Document Management (DMS), Quality Management, etc. WebServices enablement
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 30
cProjects supports operative project management following the phase-based process methodology with a focus on deliverables, roles and commitment management.
Structuring
Project templates for methodology based development processes Phase-based structure and deliverables defined by checklists Planning of approvals (Quality Gates) to guarantee project progress Tasks with e.g. duration, responsibilities, and relationships Task hierarchies to break down work packages
Multi-Project Management
Master project
Project 1
Subproject
Projects can be divided into subprojects Tasks from other projects can be used for information and scheduling Programs can be set up to manage multiple projects Scheduling does not affect other projects directly -> only alerting
Project versions allow the user to collect a snapshot of the project at a certain point in time The user can then perform comparisons
Comparisons between 2 versions Comparisons between the current operative project and a version
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 34
Project simulation allows the user to capture a version of the operative project that can be manipulated and changed. In this way, it is possible to perform what-if analysis regarding:
Allocation of resources Changes to schedule Changes to structure
After completing the simulation, it is then possible to apply these changes to the operative project via reconciliation
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 35
It is now possible to quickly enter Phase-related tasks in cProjects which will expedite data entry
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 36
Customer Fields
It is now possible to append tables in cProjects which will allow the use of customer-defined fields and tabs Development work is performed in the backend WAS using SE38 and instructions available in the IMG
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 37
Scheduling
Graphical maintenance of dates and relationships Manual or system supported scheduling of phases and tasks Visualization of critical path
SAP AG 2002, Title of Presentation, Speaker Name 38
Exchange cProject data with Microsoft Project (supported releases MS Project 2000 and XP) Use MS Project for
Offline viewing (travel) and offline presentations Printing the GANTT chart*
* With cProjects 4.0 it is planned to enable Gantt chart printing
