Portfolio Item Dependency
The Portfolio item dependency dataset provides comprehensive information about the dependencies between portfolio items within an organization. It includes details such as the names and descriptions of dependent portfolio items, the type and nature of dependencies, the status of each dependency, and any associated timelines. This dataset is essential for understanding the interconnection between different portfolio items, managing risks, optimizing project schedules, and ensuring the smooth execution of interdependent tasks.
You need to link this dataset to the portfolio item base dataset to get the portfolio-related attributes required for blending and analyzing the data by portfolio item dependency.
You can use this approach to obtain details of portfolio item dependencies:
- To get the count of the upstream dependencies of a portfolio item, blend the portfolio item attribute from any other datasets with the downstream portfolio item attribute.
- To get the count of the downstream dependencies of a portfolio item, blend the portfolio item attribute from any other datasets with the upstream portfolio item attribute.
- You can retrieve either the count of upstream or downstream dependencies for a portfolio item, but not both simultaneously.
The following are the components of this dataset:
| Attribute Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Downstream planning level | Planning level of downstream portfolio item |
| Downstream portfolio item | Number of the downstream portfolio item |
| Downstream portfolio item name | Name of the downstream portfolio item |
| Downstream portfolio item status | Status of the downstream portfolio item |
| Sys_source | Unique identifier for the source |
| Upstream planning level | Planning level of upstream portfolio item |
| Upstream portfolio item | Number of the upstream portfolio item |
| Upstream portfolio item name | Name of the upstream portfolio item |
| Upstream portfolio item status | Status of the upstream portfolio item |
| Metric Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of downstream portfolio items | Count of portfolio items dependent on the current portfolio item |
| Number of upstream portfolio items | count of portfolio items that are dependencies for the current portfolio item. |
