Review and Evaluate Project Requests (v8.xx)
Throughout the review cycle of the project request, the different stakeholders can modify or complete the request, depending on the workflow. Geniusproject also offers tools to evaluate the different requests and choose the best ones.
In order to compare requests, it is important to have reliable, standardized data available for each of them. However, each organization has its own strategies and constraints. To accommodate these differences, Geniusproject allows organizations to define their own evaluation criteria for project requests and projects. See "Define critical success factors" in the ADMIN guide to learn how to define critical success factors definition. To facilitate the comparison of these requests, they are ranked using the value or score that has been determined for them by measuring their critical success factors; the higher the score the more valuable the project or idea.
The [Critical success factors] tab contains the request data used to calculate the project or idea’s
value. In the Budget & ROI section are fields to capture "Budget", "ROI", "Workload" and "Risk factor". In the Project Ranking section are fields to capture "Risk", "Funding", "Duration" and "Complexity".
