Manage Program Options

Use the Manage Program Options task in the Setup and Maintenance work area to select program options, which include the program calendar, calendar mapping method, and currency conversion settings.

Program Calendar Settings

Use the Program Calendar drop-down list to specify the calendar that you want to use for program analysis. Typically, this calendar is the same as your financial project accounting calendar.

Select the Project Calendar Mapping Method to indicate how the project’s accounting calendar period maps to the program calendar, if the two are different.

Physical Completion Percentage and Earned Value

Specify whether you want to use cost or effort data to calculate program completion percentage.

Select Cost if you want to track program completion percentage using the costs incurred and the budget that remains.
Select Effort if you want to track program completion by considering the tasks completed and the tasks that remain.

Indicate how you want to calculate the earned value of your programs.

Select Financial project plan to use duration days to derive the planned value.
Select Project budget to use ITD budget as the planned value.

Program Analysis Currencies and Conversion Settings

You can add up to 5 currencies for your programs. The Update Program Performance Data process converts monetary values from a project’s currency to the program's currency using the specified Conversion Type and Conversion Date settings.

The program analysis user interface initially displays amounts in the default currency. When a program manager changes the currency, the selection becomes their personal preference.
