Use Financier to
build financial models of the expected cost and benefit estimates
of your project over time, based on information in IBM Rational Focal Point. Estimates are
uncertain quantities. To express the probability of your estimates,
you can input values for likely, or nominal, estimates with high and
low bounds in Financier.Financier then analyzes the
bounded estimates and computes a likely net present value (NPV) for
the life of the project.
Прежде чем начать
Financier projects
are stored as elements in a module. You can open the financial model
from within a time grid sheet.
Об этой задаче
Важное замечание: Use no more than one set of estimated
costs and benefits (that is, time grid attribute) in the module when
you integrate to the financial model application. Only one matrix
attribute can be used for displaying the result; if multiple time
grid attributes are in the module, the financial model that is displayed
does not reflect which of the estimates that the model is based on.
You
need the following attribute configuration to store financial model
projects.
To configure financial model integration:
Процедура
- Create a new module, or add the attributes that are described
in following steps to an existing module.
- Create a time grid attribute to store nominal, high, and
low estimates.
- Create three sheets with common start and stop dates;
one sheet for each of the scenario types: high, nominal, and low.
- On each sheet, configure a common set of rows for cost
and benefit categories that are related to the projects. Select the Cost or Benefit check
boxes to include the row names in the financial model.
- Нажмите кнопку ОК.
- Create a matrix attribute to display the financial model
in.
- In Alias, enter NPV.
- Set Display as to Line Chart.
- Select Flip matrix axes.
- Нажмите кнопку ОК.
