Optimizing With “Force-In and “Force Out”
You can specify Projects to be included in the optimization results as non-discretionary projects (Forced-In) or excluded (Forced-Out) of the optimization results by checking the “F.I. (Forced-In) and “F.O. (Forced-Out) columns, repespectively, in the saved project in the Project form.
After re-optimizing using the same “Middle Cost and Resources” constraints and adding the two “Forced-In” and the two “Forced-Out” constraints, we can compare the two optimizations in the Portfolio form. Note that the “Middle with Forced-In and Out” optimization SMART score is much lower than the “Middle Cost and Resources” optimization SMART score.
