Analysis
3
RSSP uses about the same amount of project resources as all other portfolios combined.
~2/3rds of projects are communications-related.
~60% of all projects are still in the queue.
The portfolio is unbalanced due to the disproportionately large number of projects in the queue.

Total Projects: 639

33 less than last quarter
(Chart above does not include existing Comms projects.)
A large number of projects were completed in the previous quarter and therefore removed from the portfolio - 33 projects or roughly 5%. The current quarter represents a shortened period due to the holidays and curtailment.

What helps move projects quickly to completion?
19
• Sponsor readiness (clear vision of problem to solve, availability to meet and/or assign a delegate)
• Thorough requirements-gathering and specs provided in advance
• Visiting early with SA Projects team, Ellen Topp and/or Amy Weissenbacher at idea stage rather than at submission deadline
• Having a business analyst in the department
• Openness to solutions and/or vendors that you may not have considered
• Vendor willingness to sign UCOP Terms and Conditions
• Partner availability (e.g., SIS, IST, 3rd party vendors & subcontractors) within desired timeline
• Executive's familiarity with their portfolio so if things change, the trade-offs are understood
