Architecture Objective: use strengths of Primavera and extend it where necessary

Responsibility of components

• Primavera P6 EPPM for project planning and scheduling

• SOA suite for technical integration (based on P6 web service API)

• BPM for organizational process modeling and execution

• ADF for GUI development covering non-standard functionality

• P6 Analytics for integrated reporting from P6 and ProMIS application

• MicroStrategy as reporting platform

• Data Warehouse integrates the different data sources.


Technical Architecture


Plan integration Staging concept for controlled plan integration


Working area for global project

team

Reporting area, published to management

State reflecting approval status by management

Approach: use P6 functionality directly in ProMIS application

• The “remote control” for P6

• Build higher level processes composed from P6 WebServices

• Examples: createProject, publishTimeline, importCosts etc.

• Mediator components act as request dispatcher

Technical integration: SOA & BPEL


Processes implementation view

Technical integration: SOA & BPEL Example: publishTimeline process

• Publication of raw/current plan

• Implementation as BPEL process

Process steps:

• Creation of baselines

• Transfer of timeline data (plan, actual)

• Transfer of project/activity codes

• Transfer of constraints

• Consideration of EPS structure

Timeline Integration Process


BPM for organizational process modeling and execution BPM – Business Process Modeling

• Web-based modeling and customization of processes

• BPMN 2.0 modeling standard

Usage within ProMIS system

• Approach: move process customizations to BPM layer

• Process representation as common language between IT and business

• Implementation of BPM processes

• Financial forecasting

• Project Id assignment

• Seamless process integration in ProMIS GUI


BPM Process: Financial Forecasting Financial forecasting per program/project

Derived from manual Excel and e-mail based process

• Support for data entry in Excel required


LE: Latest Estimate

BPM Process: Financial Forecasting • Task view for a project manager

• Build in ADF using BPM WebService API


BPM Process: Financial Forecasting • Excel form with forecast editing

• ADF Desktop Integration for Excel (ADFdi Client)


BPM Process: Project Id Assignment


ProMIS Application: ADF UI


Summary Red stack architecture “by the book”

• SOA Suite for technical integration (e.g. P6 Web Services etc.)

• BPM for organizational process modeling and execution

• ADF for GUI development covering non-standard functionality

• P6 Analytics to enable integrated reporting with Microstrategy

Experience

• Fast development with SOA/BPM to extend Primavera

• Primavera WebService API is stable

• Certain level of experience required for successful ADF development


Benefits • Architecture enables flexible extension of Primavera

• All strengths of Primavera are utilized

• Collaborative planning processes can be supported to various degrees

• Plan versioning and merging can be modeled as needed

• Combination with approval steps for complex scenarios possible

• Complex organizational processes related to PPM can be addressed

Next steps

• Gather field experience

• Utilize BPM for advanced PPM integration scenarios of BHC functions
