  • The Setup Hub (SPM) consolidates setup processes for SPM applications into a single workspace, giving administrators a unified view of their configuration state.

    Setup Hub (SPM) overview

    Setting up Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) for an enterprise traditionally meant navigating between multiple administrative areas, one for Strategic Planning, another for Project Management, a third for Enterprise-Wide Deployment, and so on. Each application maintained its own setup in a different module, which could hinder the rollout of new SPM applications and made it hard to see the overall status of your organization's SPM configuration.

    Setup Hub (SPM) consolidates these setup modules into a single workspace. Modules in the Admin console are dependent on the license, so you see only the applications you're entitled to configure.

    Setup Hub (SPM) workflow

    A typical SPM rollout roughly moves through the modules in the following order. Each module groups setup items that an administrator can either complete or hand to the application owner responsible for that area.

    1. Common setup to define shared organizational data, roles, and groups.
    2. Financials setup to align currencies, fiscal periods, and budgeting structures.
    3. Project Management and Demand Management setup to enable execution tracking and demand intake.
    4. Strategic Planning and Portfolio Planning setup to enable portfolio planning and roadmap work.
    5. Enterprise-Wide Deployment setup if your organization runs multi-partition SPM.
