Q. What is a program?
A. Program is a group of projects that are managed as a whole in order to achieve efficiencies that are not available from managing them individually. Organizations with mature program management are far more successful than those without, according to PMI.
Q. What are project/program columns?
A. Project & Program columns allow users to add additional fields where they can collect information about a project. For example, if you want to know which state your project is in you can create a column called state. Fill the information out when creating the project and that information is going to display on the project list page within its own column.
Q. How do I create a new Program?
A. Please log in to your "Admin Dashboard" from any screen, click on "BirdView Setup". Please click on "Manage Programs" . Once you have done that click "Add New Program". Once a new program is created it will show on the portfolio list page.
Q. What are Project/Program groups?
A. Project and Program groups allow users to add a set of repetitive values to their project or program. For instance if you have projects that are consistently in 4 states, you can create a group for those 4 states and each time you create a project you can select from the drop down which state your project is in.

Q. Do I need a Program end date?

BirdView Dashboard currently requires all Programs to have Program Start & Program End dates. Currently the Program End date does not effect your Projects or Programs if they do go past its end date.
Q. What are "Program Snapshots"?
A. Program Snapshots allow you to run a comparison of your Projects between selected timelines. Snapshots are available for Program, Project, Schedule and Budget.
