Time to Update Project Status
With the start of April, it's time to update the status of IS&T projects within Daptiv PPM.  For a quick tutorial in updating projects, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions section.

New Version of Director's Portfolio Summary Available
The Director's Portfolio Summary Report (available under the Portfolio Reports folder on the Reports tab within Daptiv) has been updated with the following changes:

• Projects that are on the current VP Staff Priority Projects list have their ranking listed instead of the project number
• The Project State column has been removed and projects that are On Hold now have that displayed under the Project Phase column
• Projects that were marked as being complete (Project Phase = Close) more than one month ago are no longer included on the report

Project Snapshots at VP-Staff review
VP-Staff will be reviewing the Directors' Summary views of your Projects, along with selected Project Snapshots, on Thursday, March 13th.  Project managers should be sure their project information is up-to-date by the Friday before at the latest.
