Advanced project planning
We have enhanced the functional scope of Project (for the web) significantly:
-
You can now either build your own enriched project plan templates or purchase templates online from us.
-
Our projectplan templates include resources and workloads for all tasks. This feature enables you to forecast your resource requirements for projects that have not yet started. Task loads are made visible for role-based resources, so that personnel requirements can be defined well in advance.
-
We have added a category of tasks defined as meetings to facilitate a robust meeting management.
Easy management of resources
Managing human resources in projects has always been a tedious task.
In most project management tools, assigning and re-assigning resources to tasks in your project plan still has to be be done manually task by task.
In PMO4Teams this is no longer the case:
-
You can assign users to a whole set of tasks across an entire project
-
Alternatively, you can reassign open tasks to a new colleague during a project
-
Through PowerBI you can plan and track the work loads of your project workers in individual projects or across all projects.
-
Workload adjustments can easily be made via PMO4Teams
Effective change management
Changes are inevitable within any project. Managing the changes, however is a major pain point for many.
-
We adress by providing a change log that can be linked to any task in the relevant project plan. So changes are not applied directly to the project plan (Project for the Web does not support baseline functionality) but are recorded in a seperate change log to the plan.
-
We then provide extensive analytic reports via PowerBI that allow for a true data based „lessons learned“ during or after each project.
-
Finally we provide an interface through which project plan templates can be updated or modified from the data captured in the change log.
Instant meeting schedules
Meetings represent a major headache for most organisations. The general feeling is, that far too many meetings are being held while producing far too little tangible outcomes.
-
We cannot provide a remedy for the problem of outcomes, but we can help make sure that necessary meetings are made more visible and given a higher priority, by scheduling all required meetings in a dedicated project calender from the outset of the project through to the conclusion of the project.
-
The rules concerning cadence and the group of participants are pre-defined in the project plan templates and the meeting schedule is rolled out with the activation of each new project plan.
-
Naturally, all meetings within the calender can be re-scheduled at any given time by the project manager.
Project reporting to go
Project reporting is absolutely necessary and a major pain for most project managers, because it takes up an inordinate amount of time to prepare.
-
With PMO4 TEAMS we elimate much of the preparation time through project reports that are automatically populated with relevant project data.
-
This allows the project manager to concentrate on salient topics and at the same keeps project managers honest, by eliminating the temptation to „green wash“ project progress.
