Proteus Envision Feature List Proteus Envision Overview Proteus Envision consists of a selection of workspaces pre-configured within the COTS/NDI Proteus business intelligence environment that transforms earned value, scheduling, risk, and financial performance data into business and project intelligence. It achieves this transformation by applying three main methods that achieve data integration: 1) through normalizing data from disparate sources into a common database using the Department of Defense standard UN/CEFACT XML transfer file, 2) through direct connections to underlying data sources that are otherwise stove-piped by leveraging the OLE DB .NET tools found in the Microsoft® operating environment, 3) and through data enrichment entered by the user using a “shadow database” method, which allows users to add additional qualitative and quantitative information to any data element or set of elements. Having established normalization and the proper relationships among data elements, transformation from data to information is then achieved by providing users with a robust set of selections for viewing, analyzing, sorting, filtering, calculating, and reporting that data, allowing the incorporation of both traditional trailing edge and, most importantly, for the introduction of leading edge indicators that provide actionable information in a timely manner. The Proteus Envision client application visually displays this data for ease and intuitive use by providing a number of data display selections and controls that include Excel-style data grids, both pre-configured and customizable charts, reports, histograms, GANTT views, gauges, tree lists, and dashboards that allow this data to be both rolled up or rolled down, as necessary, aggregated at the appropriate level of detail, and served to the appropriate level of the organization based on user, user group, or organizational security settings. While these workspaces are pre-configured allowing for a turnkey solution out of the box, the Proteus technology is highly flexible, and allows users—given the application of proper security, permissions and controls—to modify, update, or add new metrics or controls through the configuration functionality provided in the application. It provides this flexibility through the administrative operations of the Envision solution, which are contained in a companion product known as Proteus Envision Administrator. This application defines workspace content, integration points, conditional formatting, and user permissions. It also determines what additional flexibility for data display and customization will be allowed by the clients. A central part of Proteus’s technology is the ability to tie together disparate datasets based on a relational key field, which provides the capability to roll up, drill down, perform root cause analysis, and to apply both traditional trailing edge and new leading edge metrics and KPIs using calculated columns.

Thus, this functionality allows essential data that are oftentimes stored in stove-piped or one-off repositories, such as localized user-preferred Excel and Access databases on local desktops and laptops, to be integrated with corporate data. For example, to inherit the core capability to drill down from a portfolio of projects into WBS/OBS elements, then further into Control Accounts, further into Work Packages, across or further down into Schedule activities, across and down into Resource Assignments and so forth. Leveraging the UN/CEFACT XML not only accomplishes the integration of the above mentioned datasets, but the openness of the Proteus framework facilitates the integration of external datasets. As an additional set of examples, Proteus can integrate EVM data with datasets containing risk register information tied to WBS or schedule activities, databases containing TPM information that correlates EV performance to technical achievement, or cross- referencing WBS/SOW/SOO dictionary information. The roll-up capability of the application will, conversely, allow discrete data to be aggregated up organizationally to the appropriate level of management so that operational and strategic measures of performance can be applied. The utility of this capability is particularly valuable when incorporating and integrating financial management and current execution information against the program or project portfolio management plan and master schedule in determining whether cashflow is sufficient or disconnected from the requirement to support successful project or portfolio performance. The example below shows Proteus integration of EVM, schedule, resource, and risk data.

Rather than taking a hard-coded, niche approach to application capability, Proteus provides an open system approach that delivers the traditional EVM, scheduling, and financial management Information in this document © SNA Software LLC, EPM Software Inc., and Promineo AS.

metrics out of the box—though uniquely integrated—and also provides users with the ability to apply any other metrics, charts, graphs, or calculations that the organization may wish to apply without relying on product updates or hard-coded development on the part of the IP holder. The product can be as sophisticated or simple to the user based on organizational requirements. Thus, rather than wait for a company providing traditional niche applications to determine whether they will support the latest changes in project and program management, Proteus customers can be trained to assume the ability to configure as many workspaces as desired—even those that were not anticipated on initial acquisition. The only limitation to the technology is in regard to access to the relevant data—as long as data is available, Proteus Envision can display it in any way desired by the end user or the organization’s business rules. With very little technical knowledge, administrative personnel in the acquiring organization can learn to configure and roll out as many workspaces as desired by the organization, with no application programming skills needed. Typically, someone well experienced in Microsoft Excel would have the necessary skills to modify or create new views, reports, charts, etc. Being agnostic to underlying applications, Proteus Envision provides federal and Aerospace & Defense organizations with the ability to apply a host of solutions in a matter of days or weeks that previously required a full BI development effort of millions of dollars and several years, or that required that an organization acquire a set of incompatible best-of-breed niche applications. Thus Proteus significantly reduces initial capital investment requirements for software, and directly reduces life-cycle, overhead, administrative and training costs.

Proteus Envision Workspaces Targeted solutions are rolled out to users based on need to know and role and these are called workspaces in Proteus. The Proteus Envision repository has several pre-defined workspaces that are designed to work in the federal/DoD vertical related to EVM and schedule analysis. It is expected that these workspaces will grow in functionality quickly over time and that additional pre-configured workspaces will be rolled out as business environments grow and expand. Below is an overview and functionality capability list of the current workspaces. Keep in mind that any of these workspaces can easily be configured to support the needs of the organization and are limited only by the type of data that can be accessed.

EVM Validation 32 Guidelines Workspace The Proteus Envision 32 Guideline Workspace is intended to assist an organization in completing a self-assessment for an ANSI 748 compliant Earned Value System. The navigation screen is controlled by a 32 Guideline overlay Map that filters the content to that guideline which includes the Guideline Intent, Management Value, Description and Attributes as well as a checklist that can have documents, notes and action items tied to the checklist items. The Guideline Overlay Map not only drives navigation, but also displays a scorecard of the performance of meeting that guideline where red/yellow/green/blue progress measures can show how many of the checklist items have been met out of the total number of checklist items. The Guidelines Intent, Management Value, Description and Attributes are pulled from the EVMS Intent Guide and the Checklist items are pulled from an Excel Worksheet provided by DCMA referencing those 32 guidelines. The Envision 32 Guideline Workspace is sitting on top of a MS Access database. This database can easily be extended to support more tables or fields within existing tables as necessary to store more data. For instance, a field called URL could be added to the Guideline table, storing a URL link to an internal web site that has information on a web page about a guideline. Then a browser object can be dragged into Proteus to show that web page content within Proteus and interactive to the selected guideline. The Access database can also be easily migrated to a Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle or other database environments as needed. With the added flexibility and ease of use to generate charts, custom reports or other visualizations within Proteus and Proteus Configurator, any organization can easily tailor the workspace to fit their needs. Below is the architecture diagram of the datasets within the workspace. The 32 Guidelines dataset has a record for each of the guidelines including fields like Intent of the guideline, group it belongs Information in this document © SNA Software LLC, EPM Software Inc., and Promineo AS. The products Proteus and Envision are registered names belonging to their respective owners. All right reserved. 20

to, etc. The Guideline Attributes lists the common attributes associate to one of the 32 Guidelines, thus is a child dataset to that. Guideline Checklist is also a child dataset to 32 Guidelines, and this has each of the checklist items, a description of those items, a checkbox for the user to select if their organization complies with that item, a field for RTF notes, etc. Checklist Tasks is a child to the Guideline Checklist dataset and allows the user to create tasks for a checklist item such as assigning responsibility, due date, status, importance and other attributes to a task. Also, Checklist Document Links is a child dataset to Guideline Checklist and allows for assigning document links to tie to a specific checklist. 32 Guidelines

Adding Tasks to Guideline Checklist If a checklist item is not completed, perhaps as part of the workflow a task will be added to that Checklist with assignment of a responsible person(s) to close that action with notes, due dates, completed dates, etc. There can be many tasks added and tied to a Checklist item. Also note that a field for the Checklist called HasTasks will be checked. Below is a screen shot adding tasks to close Checklist Code 1.1.c.4.

All tasks added into Proteus can generate a schedule, with Proteus Gantt control, to manage the schedule of closing each of the checklist items as seen below. Also, if applicable, Histogram and S-Curve could be generated to show work effort of responsible resources to close actions.

Adding Rich Text Format (RTF) Notes to Guideline Checklist RTF Notes can be added for each Guideline Checklist. Optionally, a formatting window can be put in this window. The Rich Text Formatting allows for formatting the text with font color, size, type as well as paragraph options and also allows for embedding URL’s and Hyperlinks.

Adding Document Links to Guideline Checklist Links to documents can be tied to Guideline checklist as well, and once the link is established Proteus can open that document. The links can reference documents on network share, hard drive, website, SharePoint document, etc. It can also reference a paragraph within a document, such as a reference to a paragraph bookmark in the Systems Description document, as long as that paragraph is marked. Below is a screen shot of adding a document link to a Checklist Item as below.

Miscellaneous Features As users work with this workspace, other items can be created and used that’s plug and play within Proteus. A list of these can be custom charts, reports, grid outputs, Gantt’s, Histograms, completion reports, alerts, snapshots. For instance, let’s say the organization wants to snapshot the progress of the assessment and a certain point in time, or at certain intervals. A Proteus snapshot can be set up to capture any of the data items as they are at that particular time. This can then be used in grids or a custom chart or report can be set up to show the phasing and progress on items. Another example is taking the Task list and visualizing a Gantt chart of all the defined tasks, and the progress of those tasks, and can even be included in Histograms or completion reports. Below is a screen shot of a custom report that was put together that prints out the Guideline Attributes. With the built in Report Designer, formal reports can easily be generated off any data within the workspace and saved for re-use and exported out to .PDF, RTF, Excel, HTML and other formats.

Grid layouts can also be setup as another means of working with the data or exporting it to MS Excel. These grids keep all the parent/child dataset relationships as seen below.
