Content Overview: • Intro: Some words on Proteus (3 min) • What we want to accomplish in this session (3 min) • T U T O R I A L - How to do it • Step I – Getting the raw data wired up (10 min) • Step II – One step beyond the basics (10 min) • Step III – Setting up Layouts and Reports (10 min) • What we could have done with more time (2 min) • Live Demo of Solution + Q&A (12 min)
The typical reality Broken pyramids of Project Data… 1 10 jobs 100 Docs 1000 pipes
What the user should experience Islands appear as ONE solid landmass… 1 10 jobs 100 Docs 1000 pipes
Making connections between data and user We have connected phone calls for over 100 years now, but we still have trouble connecting Project Data with a Project Member!?
The process of setting it up Workflow for setting up an “optimal interaction” with data The User Interface that is used to interact with data Each tool’s own UI is of course still available, and often very useful for some (but not all?) Team Members! The Ocean of data in corporate cyberspace (databases) The Ocean of data in you corporate cyberspace
A Crash course in planning T I M E Activity A001 Activity A002 Activity A003 Job J301 Job J101 Job J201 Job J102 Job J202 Job J302 Job J103 This is what we want to accomplish in this tutorial
The simplified data for this tutorial Making it as simple and “generic” as possible – to illustrate that ANY system could be used Activity Data: Red = Requred, Green = Optional, Blue = Optional (Timephasing), Purple = Optional (Pivoting + Group + CM)
The simplified data for this tutorial Making it as simple and “generic” as possible – to illustrate that ANY system could be used Job Data: Red = Requred, Orange = Optional (Hierarchy), Green = Optional, Blue = Optional (Timephasing), Purple = Optional (Pivoting + Group + CM)
The result at the journey’s end Gantt Drill down from an Activity into its related Jobs
The result at the journey’s end Activity and Job Data timephased in a Histogram
The result at the journey’s end Completion Matrix showing Job Start vs. Material Status:
Step 1: Connecting to the data • DataConnections • DataSource • Dataset
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Creating a new repository folder and a new Workspace within it
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Setting up the basic (minimal) info
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Creating and testing your first Proteus Connection
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up …and finally your second Connection
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Creating your first Proteus DataSource and writing a SQL statement
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Testing and “Persisting” your DataSources (the first shown here)
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Creating your first Proteus DataSet
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Creating your second Proteus DataSet + setting hierarchical relationship between the two
Step 1: Getting the raw data wired up Opening the workspace in Proteus to see the result:
Step 2: One step beyond the basics There are quite a few thing that can be set up for a DataSet…
Step 2: One step beyond the basics Setting up and testing a calculated column in Activities DataSet Do the same thing for the «Jobs» DataSet.
Step 2: One step beyond the basics Minor Visual Detail: Set the Gantt Bar color for Jobs to be different from Activities
Step 2: One step beyond the basics Setting up Periodized Fields for Planned Hours in order to see time phased Histogram
Step 2: One step beyond the basics Setting up Periodized Fields for Earned and Actual in order to see time phased Histogram Do the same thing for the «Jobs» DataSet.
Step 2: One step beyond the basics The result when Proteus is running:
Step 2: One step beyond the basics The result when Proteus is running:
Step 2: One step beyond the basics Setting up Completion Matrix to show Material Status on Jobs
Step 2: One step beyond the basics The result when Proteus is running:
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports This is done from within Proteus (NOT Configurator) These things are described in Proteus User Manual…
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Changing the Column Header text and tooltip for field “OnCriticalPath”
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Conditional formatting can compare job’s start/finish with parent activity’s start/finish
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Mapping a column to a Custom Editor
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Another example of defining a Custom Editor
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Setting up Totals in footer
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Pivoting data and saving Pivot Layouts
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports A pivot of Activity Data on planned hours for Category1 and 2 Fields
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports A pivot of Job Data on planned hours for Forman and Object Type
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Creating a Report
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Creating a Report
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Creating a Report
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Creating a Report
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Creating a Report
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Launching a report with a double-click
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Result Preview
Step 3: Setting up layouts and reports Result Preview
What we could have added in an advanced tutorial: • In a multi project environment: Custom dialog to select which project to get data for • Update the data from Proteus (drag & drop) • Show frame showing timerang of jobs over the activity range • Save a snapshot and compare live data to it. • Get history / trends from all snapshots • KPI Dashboard (live + historic) • Enrich the data with Perc. Psych dimension..! • Formulas for rolling up job hours up to activity level • Watchdogs to tell us aspects we wish to monitor (e.g: sum of jobhrs > acthrs) • Inheriting values from one level down to another – useful for pivoting at lowest level
What we could have added in an specialist (advanced +) tutorial: • Visual presentation of implicit risk information for each area directly in Powerpoint. • Making corporate work process documentation available, so that work is done in accordance to procedures and guidelines • Giving hints and links to best practices + allow entering experience data for cumulation of professional knowledge.
