Slide 3 - Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud

Release 10

Slide notes

Hello, my name is Kyle. Welcome to training for Release 10. In this session we will talk about what’s new in Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud for Innovation Management.

Notes


Slide 4 - Agenda

Slide notes

For the enhancements covered in this training, I’ll give an overview, followed by more detail to explain how you can use them, and what business value they bring.

Then I’ll walk you through a demonstration.

Next I’ll explain what you need to consider before enabling these features in your business, and what you need to know to set them up.

Notes


Slide 5 - Enhancements Overview

Slide notes

Release 10 adds more features to Innovation Management in the areas of ideas, requirements and proposals.

Notes


Slide 6 - Tagging Ideas

Slide notes

With Release 10, users can now tag ideas and review the most popular tags among all ideas through a tag cloud. Further filtering based on idea type or date range displays the popular tags among the ideas that fit into the filtered criteria.

Notes


Slide 7 - Tagging Ideas

Slide notes

Tagging Ideas allows for easy categorization of ideas, identification of popular tags based on a date range or a type, and quick identification of ideas specific to a tag.

Also, when adding tags, multiple tags can be added to an idea and each tag is separated by a space.

Notes


Slide 8 - Associate Requirements to Product Development Items

Slide notes

Through release 9, users could only associate items in Agile PLM to requirements in Innovation Management. With release 10, users can also associate items in Product Development to requirements. This association is bi-directional, so users can search and add requirements to an item in Product Development or they can search and add items to a requirement in Innovation Management.

Notes


Slide 9 - Associate Requirements to Product Development Items

Slide notes

The association between requirements and items in Product Development is revision and version specific. Hence, a specific version of a requirement is linked to a specific revision of an item.

Notes


Slide 10 - Generate Requirements Traceability Report

Slide notes

Release 10 introduces a new action called “Generate Traceability Report” that is launched from a Concept or from a Requirements Specification. For a concept or a product, this action exports a consolidated report of linkages between ideas, requirements, test cases and items. The output of the action is XML which can be opened in Excel.

Notes


Slide 11 - Generate Requirements Traceability Report

Slide notes

Users can open the XML file in Excel. And since the data is flattened in the report, users can do further filtering and analysis in Excel (For example: what test cases have not been fulfilled, what items are impacted because of those test cases, and so forth).

Notes


Slide 12 - Find Requirements Line Items

Slide notes

Users can now find a requirement within a Requirements Specification by searching for name or description and other key attributes.

Notes


Slide 13 - Find Requirements Line Items

Slide notes

Requirements that match the search criteria are highlighted in the tree view of the specification.

Notes


Slide 14 - Graphical Navigator Enhancements

Slide notes

With release 10, a new layout for Graphical Navigator has been introduced. The layout is organized into 3 sections:

The bottom right section provides a full view of the complete concept or product network.

The top right section allows users to search for content within the network by searching against key information such as name or description. The search results are displayed in this section.

The left section displays the association of a node that has been selected.

Notes


Slide 15 - Graphical Navigator Enhancements

Slide notes

Users can drill down the associations by navigating from one node to another, in the left section. Clicking on the Home button will revert back to the original display. Clicking on the Expand icon displays a 2-level association of all the nodes.

Notes


Slide 16 - Use Proposal Metrics

Slide notes

In Release 10, when a proposal is added to a portfolio, all the metrics pre-defined by the product manager for the proposal will be automatically carried over to the portfolio. To avoid conflicts in metrics, we recommend to use the same set of metrics for proposals that belong to a common group (such as a business unit, product line, and so forth).

Notes


Slide 17 - Use Proposal Metrics

Slide notes

This capability avoids the need for re-entering the metrics in the portfolio, since they are already carried over. Users can also change some of the metrics, if necessary, to suit other proposals in the portfolio.

Notes


Slide 79 - Summary of Enhancement Capabilities

Slide notes

Here is the summary of the features I have talked about today: tagging ideas, associating requirements to items, finding requirements line items, generating the requirements traceability report, graphical navigator enhancements, and using the proposal metrics.

Notes


Slide 80 - Implementation Advice

Slide notes

In this implementation advice section, we will go through what you need to consider before enabling these features in your business, and what you need to know to set them up.

Notes
