SAP EPPM and SAP PS

[akashtilokani]

Hi,

I am undergoing SAP PS training. I came across this term EPPM. If I am not wrong, it is Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management. I wish to know the consistency of SAP project modules with PMBOK. To state roughly PMBOK defines portfolio as collection of programs, program as collection of projects. I am in difficulty here as I do not find program word in EPPM. Please help with an elaborate explanation.

Hi akash

In EPPM entity "Initiative" corresponds to a program. Using Initiatives you can (bi-directional) sync gates, status and schedules of a global program with multiple subprojects.

For loosely coupled projects you can also use the concept of "Collections"  in EPPM.

Best regards Renato

Hi Akash, In EPPM, the "Initiative" entity is equivalent to a program. It allows you to sync gates, statuses, and schedules in both directions between a global program and its related subprojects. For more loosely connected projects, the "Collections" feature in EPPM can be used as an alternative approach. Best regards, Renato DGME
