The Portfolio funnel helps you visualize the portfolio process from idea to completion. Add your own process steps and create portfolio items to create an overview. This overview is the basis of a portfolio and will be used in various apps in the Fortes Change Cloud.
- Define process steps by creating lists. Consider, for example, the lists of ideas, analysis, in progress, done and postponed, or variations thereof. It is important that the process steps are clearly defined, because they determine the basis of the process.
- Create portfolio items and add them to a process step by clicking on
create card
in a process step. It is also possible to paste a list of portfolio items into this box and thus add multiple items at once.
- Change the order of portfolio items by dragging them to the right place. Organizing portfolio items can improve the overview. Portfolio items can both be organized in one process step and moved to another process step in this way.
- Create a canvas and add a canvas to one or more process steps. A canvas can have several functions; it can be used to store information about a portfolio item or to request a status update. You can read more about the use of canvases here: How do I provide the items with specific information within my process?
