Project Summary Step 1 of 7
1. Core Scope & Size Step 2 of 7
Captures the basic footprint of the project: how big it is and how many systems are touched.
2. Technical Complexity Step 3 of 7
Measures how technically difficult the project will be to implement and support.
3. Security & Compliance Step 4 of 7
Captures regulatory or public-facing aspects that increase risk, governance, and lead time.
4. Stakeholder & Governance Step 5 of 7
Drives meeting load, decision cycles, and political complexity.
5. Requirements & Ambiguity Step 6 of 7
Measures how clear and stable the requirements are.
6. Resource & Capacity Constraints Step 7 of 7
Drives how quickly work can actually move through queues and staffing.
8. Impact & Mandate
Captures business impact if delayed, critical domains, and mandate level to support priority scoring.
Saved Projects & Rankings
Projects are sorted by Priority Index (highest first). Data is stored in your browser and can be exported to Excel.

Summary Dashboard
Portfolio view of all projects, aligned with the current fiscal year settings and PERT-based duration estimates.
Completion Calendar
Calendar view of estimated project completion dates (based on adjusted duration). Each day lists the full project name(s) scheduled to complete on that date within the fiscal year.
Total Estimated PM Hours
Sum of estimated project management hours across all projects (calculated from complexity, governance, and risk).
Fiscal Year Window
Projects must complete within the configured fiscal year to comply with portfolio constraints.
Schedule Status Flags (Based on PMBOK Control Schedule Concepts)
Projects are flagged when they exceed their originally estimated duration or are approaching their adjusted (risk-informed) completion date.
Exceeding Estimated Duration Overrun
Approaching Adjusted Duration Warning
Manager Dashboard
Executive summary of the portfolio based on database records (complexity, impact, priority, and capacity).
Recent Activity
Counts of projects updated recently (based on updatedAt timestamps in the database).
Updated last 7 days

All Projects (Database Records)
Records loaded from the SQLite database via /api/projects. This view mirrors the data behind the Saved Projects table.
Settings
Configure the fiscal year and core parameters for portfolio planning. These settings apply across all projects and dashboards.
Fiscal Year Configuration
Define the start and end of the current fiscal year. All project time estimates must fit within this window.
PMO Capacity Configuration
Define staffing and time assumptions so the Manager Dashboard can compute monthly PMO capacity and utilization. These settings are stored locally in your browser.
Complexity Weight Configuration
Set how much each dimension contributes to the overall complexity score. You can think of these as percentage weights; they don’t have to add up to 100 — the app will normalize them for you.
Manager Approvals
Review submitted analysis stages and approve, reject, or override.
Command Center
Snooping
On Hold / Stored
Track analyses that are paused or archived, and reactivate when ready.
Project Manager Dashboard
Execution workspace. Projects are auto-populated from the Business Analyst intake database.
