Innovation Management Dashboard

The Innovation Management work area enables you to view and analyze your company's performance on factors that drive innovation to bring clarity for decision making.

The dashboard provides analytics for count, cycle time, and aging for ideas, requirements, proposals, and concepts.

Each page gives you visibility into key metrics for these objects, and displays charts created using the Innovation Management subject areas. You can create ad-hoc analytics based on business questions that you want answered.

Use the various chart types to visualize information with specific combinations of measures and dimensions to make the best decisions for your products and business.

Idea Summary shows the total count of posted ideas excluding the ideas that are in the following predefined status codes - Accepted, Implemented, Pending, Rejected, and Released. All other status codes are added up to show the total count. If you're using any configured statuses, creating a configured report is recommended.

In the Ideas tab, you can view information about ideas gathered in the application. For example:

  • How many ideas have been generated and by whom?

  • Which ideas are based on customer requests?

  • How many ideas have one or more requirements specifications associated with them?

In the Requirements tab, you can view information about requirement trends, count, and status. For example:

  • How many requirements specifications are yet to be approved?

  • Which are the ten most important requirements we should focus on?

  • What's the average period of time it takes for a requirements specification to be approved?

In the Proposals tab, you can view information about calculated metrics, cash flow, resources, related items, and aging in proposals. For example:

  • What's the count of project tasks that are related to a selected set of proposals?

  • How many proposals are submitted and pending approval?

  • What's the difference between actual revenue and projected revenue of a proposal?

In the Concepts tab, you can view information about concepts, related items, and solution alternatives. For example:

  • What's the count of ideas related to a selected set of concepts?

  • How many suppliers are associated with a concept?

  • On average, how often are concepts updated?
