The Project Management Bridge allows information required to manage project investments, such as schedule, cost, and resource information, to be published from Primavera Portfolio Management (PPM) to a Project Management System, where detailed project planning can be performed. Project information can be updated from the Project Management Server to PPM for portfolio management analysis and strategic decision-making.
This product provides the bridge that brings together the capabilities of the experts in portfolio management and project management, respectively. Portfolio management activities are conducted in PPM, while detailed project management information is managed and maintained in the Project Management System. Information can be synchronized between the two applications by two methods: on-demand, or automatically, according to a set periodic schedule.
Category information can be mapped to fields in the Project Management System. Mapped fields can be both published and updated. Publishing category data allows portfolio managers to send project level information such as budget and schedule goals, directly to the project managers’ project plans. Updating category data with information from the Project Management System allows the portfolio manager to get accurate project level details such as exact schedule dates and cost/work figures.
