Create a strategic snapshot

Create a strategic snapshot to see strategy and portfolio project management aligned in a central location. Strategic snapshots are used to develop your strategy by month, quarter, or year from the top down or from the bottom up. Keep them documented and monitor the progress.

Create a strategic snapshot on the strategic snapshots page:

1. Select Strategy in the top navigation bar.
2. On the sidebar, select More items in the list of options.
3. Select Strategic snapshots; the strategic snapshots page displays.

To create a snapshot:

1. On the strategic snapshots page, select the Add Snapshot button on the toolbar (top-right of the page).
2. Type a Name and a Description for the snapshot in the corresponding boxes.
3. Set the Start and Finish Date, and the Total Funding in the corresponding fields, and then click Save. Upon initial save, additional, optional fields display to further define the snapshot.
4. Under Funding Levels, set the funding level (budget) for your organization structure and any child structures. The funding total will turn red if the funding levels you have set exceed the snapshot's total funding. Rollup by Category shows a funding breakdown by organization structure category.
5. Click Full Details to display additional fields.
6. Under Notifications, select the checkboxes if you want to send email notifications about any changes made to your strategy.
7. Click Save.
8. Next, click Setup Funding Workflow; the Setup Funding Workflow dialog box opens.
9. In the Setup Funding Workflow dialog box, click Add Funding Approval Rule, set the rule, and then type the email of a person who should approve the funding in the Alert box. Rule example: If a total funding exceeds $10,000, notify example@me.com to get the funding approval.
10. Click Add Change Approval Rule, set the rule, and then type the email of a person you want to notify about any changes in the Alert box.
11. Click Save, and then close the Setup Funding Workflow dialog box.
