Introduction The University of Florida’s Information Technology (UFIT) has requested all employees to begin to use

the Hewlett-Packard Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) program starting July 1st, 2014. Training

will begin by introducing the program to time reporting.

The purpose of the trainings is to inform all UFIT employees of their roles and responsibilities. The

training is not designed to teach Project Management philosophy nor any certification in Project

Management.

Website Starting on July 1st, 2014 PPM will be accessible at the following URL:

https://ppm.erp.ufl.edu

Time reporting The time reporting training for the Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) program will review four

(4) components: Time Sheets; Portlets; Staffing Profiles; and Resource Calendar. These basic components

are the foundation for future (advanced) trainings in the PPM.

Time Sheets There are two different types of times that will be reported: Project and Non-project.

Projects are defined as:

All work done on a deliverable item that has a start and end date attached to the item. A typical

Project runs 80 hours or less. Any Project that runs more than 80 hours is identified as an

“Enhancement Project”.

Non-Projects are defined as:

All work done that is done continuous (or day-to-day) operation without an end date. Examples

of Non-Projects are:

Administration Overhead

o Team/Unit/Department Meetings

o Personal Leave

o Holidays

o Sick Leave

Professional Development

Planning

Operational Activities

o Support

o Business Operations

o Day-to-Day Activities

7

Working with Time Sheets There are three main items to remember in PPM:

1) The My Items list is where you keep all the tasks that you expect to work on. You should

maintain your My Items and remove any tasks when projects are completed, or your day-to-day

duties change.

2) When you create a time sheet, you use the My Items list to populate your time sheet; by using

the My Items list you can easily just add the tasks you’re actively working on.

3) Tasks with 0 hours attached to them can no longer be submitted with your time sheet. As you

will not be allowed to submit a time sheet with tasks that don’t have any hours recorded to

them, it underscores the value of keeping your My Items list up to date and only adding the

tasks you actively work on to your time sheet.

Image1: Entering PPM for the First Time

Creating a Time Sheet

To create your time sheet, click Create. Remember, to accomplish any task in PPM, you first determine

the action you want to do, and then select the object you want to perform the action on. So to create a

time sheet, click Create and Time Sheet.

Image 2: Selecting Create and Time Sheets

The first time you create a time sheet in PPM, it will inform you of how often it automatically saves time

sheet data.

8

Image 3: Automatic Saving

The best practice is to add items to your My Items list and then add those items to your time sheet.

Adding Tasks to My Items

To add to your My Items list, click Add Items and click Add from My Items / Suggested Items.

Image 4: Add items

Image 5: Adding Task to My Items

9

The first time you create a time sheet, you will see no items in your My Items list. To add to your My

Items, click the Suggested Items tab.

Image 6: Adding Items to Time Sheet

Almost all time reportings will be adding Task to their Time Sheets.

Check the box next to the project and click Add.

Image 12: List of Time Sheet Task

Adding My Items to your Time Sheet

Now that you have all the tasks you expect to work on in your My Items list, you can add them to your

time sheet. Check all the tasks you want to add to your time sheet and click Add.

Image 13: Adding Items to Time Sheet

13

Your tasks are added to your time sheet, ready for you to enter time.

Image 14: Time Sheet with Task

Note the warning symbols beside each new task; as in the new version of PPM you are not allowed to

submit a task that has no hours booked to it, these symbols indicate that you will not be allowed to

submit these items until you either assign time to them or remove them from your time sheet.

Image 15: Warning Symbols

14

Entering and Submitting Time

To enter time, simply highlight a task field and enter the hours worked on that task on that day. Click

Save as you complete each daily time entry. At the end of the week when you’ve completed your time

sheet, click Save & Submit.

Image 16: Time Sheet with Times

You are not allowed to submit Time Sheets with items that have no hours assigned to the task. To

continue submitting your time, click Remove Empty Lines.

Image 17: No Empty Time Lines

15

Your Time Sheet is now submitted and pending approval.

Image 18: Pending Time Sheet

16

Creating Subsequent Time Sheets

Including Tasks from My Items

Now that you’ve populated your My Items list, when you create another time sheet you have the option

of including the items on your My Items list on a newly created time sheet. To do this, select the Include

Items from My Items List check box and click Create.

Image 19: Create Time Sheet

Note: This method will include all of the items from your My Items list, so unless you are working on all

those tasks that week, you should select the check boxes of items you don’t expect to work on and click

Remove.

Image 20: Select Items Not Used In Current Week

17

Portlets The first time you log into PPM, the system will load a default page because you have not created your

personal page. The default page may contain a large amount of data and take longer to load than a

personal page you create. Once created, the system will load your personal page each time you login.

To create your personal page: Dashboard => Personalize Dashboard

Item 21: Accessing Personalize Dashboard

Select New Page

Item 22: New Page

Under Page Name change the page to Your Name

Image 23: Change Page Name

NOTE: The Warning Box regarding automatic save will appear every time unless you select the box to

not show message again.

Click on the Left Arrow to return to the main PPP page

Item 24: Return to Main Page

Add Portlets

To Add Portlets to your Private Page, you will need to Select Personalize Dashboard.

Item 25: All Portlets

The pop-up menu will appear allowing you to select different categories of portlets.

Image 26: Pop-Up Menu

19

All Time reportings will be able to choose from the drop down list.

Image 27: Portlet List

The following Portlets are recommended for all Time reportings:

Time Management Resource Management My Task Analyze Assignment Load

My Time Sheet

After choosing the Category, elect Find Portlets

Calendar In PPM, your work availability is recorded in your Resource Calendar. This availability is used for long-

term resource planning and to determine if you are available to be assigned to a task, so it’s important

that you keep this information up to date.

To begin, select OPEN => ADMINISTRATION => View My Resource Information.

Image 34: View My Resource Information

From the tabs listed, select the Calendar tab

Image 35: Calendar Tab

To indicate that you will be unavailable on a given day, click the day you will be unavailable and click the

Non-Working Day radio button. The Reason and Description fields are optional. If you would like to

enter a reason and description, you must click Apply before you save. After setting the proper days to

non-working, click Save. By default, all weekdays are designated as working days in PPM.

Your time is now blocked out as non-working, so you can no longer be scheduled to do tasks on those

days. Note that there is no way to block out a partial day in PPM, so use discretion in setting whether

you will be available or not for a given day. Also, please note that the resource calendar is used for

planning purposes, so there is no need to retroactively record unplanned absences such as sick days.

24

Image 36: Reporting Non-Work Days

NOTE: Making sure that the calendar is filled with accurate information is very important to the overall

mission of the University of Florida. With the correct information imputed, it will help UF Administration

project budgets more accurate than ever before.

25

Staffing Profiles Staffing profiles allow managers, project managers, resource managers, and resources to forecast and

track workloads that are being assigned to a specific resource or the load on all resources by a specific

project.

Project managers and resource managers (aka supervisors) can assign current or future workloads to a

resource. Typically project managers assign workload for projects activities and resource managers

assign workload for non-project activities.

The Beginning

Before a resource (person) can be assigned to a staffing profile, they must be placed in a “Resource

Pool”. Resource pools are basically a team within an organization (ES, AT, CTS, EI&O, etc.). You could

have one resource team for an organization or several teams. Resource pools are a lot like an

organization chart. A resource manager (supervisor/team lead) can view the load on team members.

Roles

Every resource is assigned a role as part of their individual profile. Roles are determined by Resource

Pool Managers (Supervisors). Resource Pools are created by a system administrator as determined by

the organization. Resource pools can have a parent/child relationship. To find the roles,

Open=>Administration=> View My Resource Information

Image 37: Navigation to Role/Skill

From here you will see the tab Role/Skill

Image 38: Role/Skill

A list of all of the roles is provided for the managers, project managers, and resource managers to help

allocate the correct role and skill for the project.

26

Image 39: List of Roles

Creating a Staffing Profile

As indicated earlier, a staffing profile is typically created for project/non-project effort planning. Each

year an “Enterprise” project will be created for your Run (keep the light on type effort) FY project. The

project work plan will contain the tasks you have identified to be used on timesheets. The staffing

profile associated with each “Run” project will forecast the loaded expected by the “Run” effort.

Image 40: Navigation to Create Staffing Profile

27

It is required to fill out the red star fields for the profile. It is best practice to fill in as much as possible

for reporting purposes.

Image 41: Creating a Staffing Profile

Image 42: Typical Staffing Profile After Initial Creation

28

Positions

The first step after creating a staffing profile for project/non-project work is to add a “Position” by

Role/Resource pool. Subsequently, you now identify the role and resource pool that you want this

position to be filled from.

Image 43: Add Position

The managers, project managers, and resource managers will need to decide what role (or skills) are

going to be needed to be successful in completing this project/non-project work.

Image 44: Selecting the Right Skills

Once a role has been selected, click Add (if only adding one role) or click Add Another (if adding more

than one role for the project/non-project task). NOTE: Resource Pool also must be selected.

After the Roles have been added, you will need to allocate the number of FTE (Full Time Employees) it

will take to complete the project/non-project work.

Image 45: Adding FTE

29

Enter the number of FTE in the Weeks Boxes listed in the Assignments Needed.

Assigning Resources

The Unmet Demand in orange is letting you know that the number of FTE (our hours) have not been

met. Once resources (employees) are allocated to the project/non-project work, the number will

decrease.

The managers, project managers, and resource managers will add a resources to the work by selecting

the Unmet Demand check box.

Image 46: Unmet Demand Check Box

Once the box is selected another set of options move from grayed out to active tools.

Image 47: Active Tools

Click Assign to add resources (employees) to the work. A list of eligible names will appear. Select the

names on the left. The names will move to the right column. After selecting all the eligible employees

you will need to complete the work, press OK.

Image 48: Adding Name

30

After selecting the resources, they now have to be allocated. Each person selected will show one at a

time for the managers, project managers, and resource managers to add the appropriate FTE. Once

entering the number, click Done. If there is another person, the screen will appear and FTE will need to

be entered again.

Image 49: Recourse Capacity Page

A resource (employee) can view the workload being assigned to them in two different areas of PPM,

create a portlet (Resource Management, Analyze Assignment Load). There are other ways of looking for

this information, but using the portlet is the best practice.

From the Portlet View, select View Resource Breakdown

Image 50: View Resources Breakdown from Portlet View

31

From the Resource Load Breakdown Page, select the Assignment Details option in blue.

Image 51: Resource Load Breakdown Page

The SP indicates that the workload name from the staffing profile.

Summary The Time reporting will be able to create and modify timesheets within the PPM system. The Time

reporting will have the knowledge to review their progress reported against projects and non-projects

assigned to them. The Time reporting will have the ability to keep track of their absences and how they

affect the progress of projects and non-projects.
