About Executing Metric Calculations

This section defines the steps for execution of the metric calculations for PMO Dashboard within Migrate > Mappings.

Milestone Metrics, as part of the PMO Dashboard, accumulates the metric calculations for many stages of the migration process.  Milestone Metrics are configured within section Administer > Advanced > Metrics Configuration for the project site.  The Syniti Migrate application starts with a basic set of metric settings. 

Prerequisites to Running the Metrics Calculation Job

• The Metrics Configuration should be reviewed for process specifics.  Refer to section Administer > Advanced > Metrics Configuration for more details of these settings.

• The Project, Release, and Datasets must be created and setup within Mappings page.

• The metric flags and fields must be updated throughout the project to show the progression of each object.

Execute metrics

From the multi-panel Mappings page, the user may click on the Execute metrics  icon to open the details window. 

The Execute Metrics window displays two tabs of data.  The first tab provides the Executable list of active Metrics.  The second tab provides a list of any manually added metric values.  Upon opening the window the first time, Milestone field defaults a Milestone in the current date range as shown below.  The user must click on the drop down list for the field Milestone and select a different Milestone if a future or past milestone is processed.    

These are the same Milestones that are assigned to the Release for this object within Project Setup.

Note

Should the project not have Milestones assigned when this page in opened, an Error message displays to state that there are no milestones for this Release.  Create Milestone values with valid start and end dates and then this process works as expected. 

Note

Once the Metrics are initiated for a Release and Milestone, that Milestone may no longer be deleted as there are MilestoneObjectMetrics referencing this Milestone.  The user must mark as Inactive, but can no longer delete.  

The Executable Metrics panel displays the following:

Note

Should there be no Milestones set for the Release, an error message displays indicating that Metrics cannot be read properly.

Manual Metrics Tab

The user may click on the Manual tab to enter the metrics for Defect Percentage.  Save the Defect Percentage value entered.

Note

This value is the percentage of work that is not effected by defects.  So, at 100%, there would be no defects for this object.

From within the Executable tab, the user may select to execute a single metric, or they may click on the Execute All  button for a complete run of every active metric listed. 

A warning may display if the Milestone selected in not the current milestone for the Release as shown below.  Once a Milestone is completed, the Metrics should not be re calculated as values may be altered by new updates.

A warning message displays if the Start and End Dates are blank.

Once completed, a message displays to indicate that the job ran successfully.  At this point, the user may go to pathway - Monitor > PMO Dashboard to view the results for the Release / Milestone / Object.  Or, click on the View PMO Dashboard  icon for same results.

View PMO Dashboard  icon provides a link to the Milestone Dashboard for the current Milestone -

Maintaining Metric Comments

Comments may be added for each of the metrics from within the Execute Metric section of Mappings. The icons in column Comment will display as New or Used as shown below.

To view or maintain the comments, click on the Comments icon. The Add Comment window displays allowing for adding new comments and providing a list of the Comments History. Add a new Comment and then click on the Save icon.

These comments are used within the PMO Dashboard for the sections of metrics to provide details for metric percentages as shown below.
