The balanced scorecard is a management tool that provides visibility on the evolution of the business and project/Assets/Scope goals and the performance of the business strategy used. The implementation of the balanced scorecard for the project/portfolio management enables the identification and monitoring of all critical elements that affect the achievement of the business objectives. The scorecard can be assigned to Projects, Scope and Assets.
A scorecard is created in administration under a ScorecardFolder. Assigning a Scorecard to Projects, Scope or Assets creates an AssignedScorecard and can then be used to assign values.
Each AssignedScorecard contains assigned scorecard categories and each AssignedScorecardCategory contains assigned scorecard questions that in turn, contain assigned scorecard answers.
Scorecards are used in order to evaluate objects. Their questions and responses are set by a user. The responses are weighted on an averaged based on the weights in the scorecard definition.
Parent is mandatory, allowed parent type is AssignedScorecardCategory.
This object should never be directly created, in order to create AssignedScorecardQuestion, the assignScorecard operation in the Application interface must be used. Refer to the RPM Web Services API Interface section on Application Interface Operations for details.
While using the assignScorecard operation it is possible to get back the AssignedScorecard object, this is done by adding the ScorecardScope to the assignedObjectScope and selecting the correct ReloadType, for details refer to the assignScorecard operation documentation. In addition, after executing the assignScorecard operation, the AssignedScorecard can be loaded using Xpath, therefore, allowing the user to change properties in those objects and save them again.
AssignedScorecard can be unassigned by setting its delete property to true and saving its parent RPMObject (Asset, GenericProject, AbstractScope), which subsequently deletes all the relevant AssignedScorecard, AssignedScorecardCategory, AssignedScorecardQuestion, and AssignedScorecardResponse.
