Sensei IQ Overview (08:31)

Sensei IQ is a new way of working with the Power Platform and Teams in the Microsoft Cloud


This is delivered through these six (6) core capabilities. 

  1. In Personal Productivity, we pull together the work for teams and individuals; across tools and systems to help individuals prioritize their work in the context of what is important to the organization.

  2. Collaborative Work Management is all about bringing the teams together to work on the project.

  3. It supports integration with multiple project execution or management tools based on specific requirements and delivery approaches while integrating key high level information back to Sensei IQ projects.

  4. To keep everyone informed, there are many Power BI reports called Insights which allow you to monitor work and exceptions over all elements from challenges through to benefits realization.  Insights exist for Strategy, Portfolio/Programs, Innovations, Intake, Projects, and Work. 

  5. In Enterprise Resource Management, we provide visibility into potential bottlenecks for teams, roles and individuals across all work in the organization.

  6. And finally, you can ensure you maximize your Strategic Planning and Benefits Realization by managing the complete lifecycle, tracking the work from inception to completion and beyond with benefits realization tracking. 

In terms of areas:

  • Work is a section of Project that highlights the personal productivity of individual team members based on what is assigned to them across projects.

  • Projects delivers on features to enable task management, project management, reporting and general collaboration around projects.
  • Portfolios adds the ability to manage portfolios and programs as well as coordinate intake through proposals, challenges and ideas.
  • Strategy at the top, hooks in strategic themes, strategic goals and benefits realization features.

  • Resources adds the ability to manage resource capacity and demand across all work, optimize utilization; limit delays and resolve bottlenecks.


    Tip: Sensei IQ’s in-application training component can be accessed via Training from the sitemap which will help you familiarize yourself with the components of Sensei IQ at your own time and pace to make you become an efficient and effective user of Sensei IQ. 


In terms of audiences as defined by the security model which is based on Microsoft 365 groups:

  • The Project users, which typically includes all the project resources; project managers, team members and subject matter experts, have full access to all the projects and details based on membership in the project group.

  • The Project executives have access to all projects in the organization and do not need to be members of the project group.

  • Portfolio users, in addition to having access to all projects, also have access to all the elements of Portfolio IQ including Portfolios, Programs, Proposals, Challenges and Ideas.

  • Strategy users build on the access of the Portfolio users and also have access to Strategic Themes, Strategic Goals, and Benefits.

  • System administrators can use all components including setting organizational configuration settings.
