PPM Demands

Demand management is the process an organization puts in place to internally collect new ideas, projects, and needs during the creation of a portfolio.

Demands are called Ideas during the initial stages of Demand Management. Ideas can be created by Demand Managers, Project Managers, Executives, customers, and other CSM users. The Ideas are reviewed and either put into workflow for further detailed evaluation, approval, and consideration for inclusion in a portfolio, or rejected by the Demand Manager. During the detailed Evaluation activities, key areas of the Demand are scored (using information in Resource Plans, Financial Scores) to help normalize a summary of the information for the Approval and Portfolio Review activities.
