On Stratex users can prepare financial analysis with the ability to calculate potential variability in the Financial Analysis. Allowing users to provide an indication of project sensitivity to these assumptions, and thereby inform executive management accordingly.
Key Concepts
Financial Analysis: Prepare financial analysis with variability in mind.
Dimension Scoring: Scoring of the benefits dimension can be configured to be based on the lowest/highest key financial metric.
Sensitivity Scenarios: Admins are required to define sensitivity scenarios in configuration data. Once defined, users can enter the values for these parameters within the Financial Analysis.
Local Sensitivity Parameters: Define local parameters for different sensitivity scenarios. If an over-ride parameter is not defined for a scenario then the default value is applied.
Global Sensitivity Parameters: Admins can define global parameters for different sensitivity scenarios similar to local sensitivity parameters.
Summaries: Get scenario summaries with key financial metrics such as NPV, IRR and Payback Period. Users will get summaries for all scenarios including the base case. These summaries can be viewed within the financial analysis and from the initiative.
Instructions
Create a financial analysis.
Switch to the parameters tab within the financial analysis.
Add the parameters and their values for different sensitivity scenarios.
Use the parameters you just created within the Gantt Chart.
Access the ‘Sensitivity’ tab within the financial analysis (selectable from ‘More Views’ dropdown).
Click the ‘Sensitivity Analysis’ button.
Hit ‘Save and Close.’
Switch to the Summary tab of the initiative.
At the top right of the screen click the Sensitivity Icon and view the key financial metrics for various sensitivity scenarios.
Sensitivity scenario parameters can be created for parameters which are of type Integer, Decimal and Percentage.
For contingency associated parameters they are required to be to have be type
