- The Waterfall Portfolio Report (above) tracks each project constituent group’s performance assessments across multiple Programs and Portfolios
- Constituent groups for Agile Projects are:
Backlog, Retrospective and Demonstration meetings
- Constituent groups for Waterfall Projects are:
Steering Committee, Project Team, Stakeholders, and Working Groups
- At each project constituent group meeting, members assess:
- Meeting Quality Score (MQS)
(combination of meeting satisfaction level and overall Meeting Promoter Score (MPS) for that meeting)
- Project Success Probability (PSP)
(their estimate of the project’s ultimate success)
- In the Waterfall Portfolio Report (above):
- The dark blue colored cells (for PSP) illustrate that both the Project Team (40%) and Stakeholders (25%) feel that Project B is unlikely to succeed
- Note that the Project Team's MQS (35%) is quite low
- During this same period, Steering Committee members believe strongly (80%) that Project B will succeed
- This indicates that there is a high probability that an over optimistic Project Manager may be withholding certain information from the Steering Committee
