Configuring Project Prioritisation

To use the Project Prioritisation feature in i-lign, project dimensions and their values have to be defined, and security permissions defined for Organisational roles.

Prioritising Projects

The i-lign Project Prioritisation feature is a type of decision matrix analysis in which Project Priority Dimensions are used to evaluate which factors drive the prioritisation of the project.

Managing project number allocation

Project number allocation can be centrally managed either externally to i-lign or by using i-lign's auto-number generation function.

Are project numbers in i-lign unique?

i-lign does not force project numbers or finance numbers to be unique.

Replacing a Lifecycle that has an approved stage

It is not possible to delete or edit approved lifecycle stages, but the lifecycle can be changed in the event of an approved stage needing to be extended, the stage was approved by mistake, or if a decision is made to follow a different methodology after the project has started.

Displaying expired items

Items such as resources have an end date assigned to them. When that end date has passed they will not display in lists by default.

Can a project be removed or deleted?

Changing the status of a project to cancelled,completed or pending will result in the project no longer being displayed in any views - only active projects are displayed by default.

Changing a lifecycle in an active project

You can change a project's lifecycle at any time once the project has been created.  From the project menu, click 'Reference' and select 'Modify Lifecycle'.  Choose the project lifecycle you want, and the stages you want to display.

If you change the lifecycle during a project, and stages in the original lifecycle have been approved they will remain in the project.
