Defining the Enterprise Project Structure

All projects in the enterprise exist within the EPS hierarchy, a graphical representation of your project structure. A root node is automatically created for the hierarchy during installation.

The levels and structure of your company’s EPS depends on the scope of your projects and how you want to summarize data. You can use the Admin Preferences, Data Limits tab to define one or multiple root nodes, up to 50 combined WBS/EPS levels and as many projects as necessary to complete the required work set forth by the operations executive and project managers in your organization.

Before you begin defining your company’s EPS, you should become familiar with the structures and procedures established for your enterprise, such as codes, calendars, and other company-wide standards. Once the EPS hierarchy is defined, you can begin to develop projects by adding information, activities, and resources.
