A new GAITS Portfolio Site is now available. The User Guide is being updated, but in the meantime, we wanted to make Portfolio Managers aware of the new functionality. We have also implemented major updates for Solution sites including Work Package planning and monitoring, team member management, and tracking navigation as described in a separate summary.
Unlike GAITS Solution sites, Portfolio sites can be customized to meet the unique needs of a program. The platform has a wide range of out-of-the-box functionality available that can be configured quickly at set-up or over time. For example, functionality can be added to show all activity on the site, message boards, finding members, your other sites, and many more. The core portfolio management functionality is outlined below:
The blue bar represents the cumulative % complete of all Deliverables in a Work Package and the green bar is the % time consumed. If red, the work package is overdue.
Also, we encourage Portfolio Managers to add a brief description of each project in addition to the project name to help recall what each project is about (use the Site)
