It’s also where our strengths in project planning help you to execute this crucial phase more easily regardless of whether you choose traditional, hybrid or Agile.

Features

We all know that Gantt charts can help to bring a project to life for some stakeholders. We provide you with the ability for stakeholders to interact with Gantt charts, visualize just the critical path and making sure that any front-end changes update any dependencies throughout the project.

Deliverables

Plan and track key deliverables with an audit trail of any agreed changes. We help you to take control of project deliverables by automatically identify overdue items, reporting on specific deliverable types and creating dependency networks, signaling the implications of delays to your business.

Roadmaps

Plot and visualize the timeline associated with Tasks, Deliverables, Projects, and Programs. We help you to create the links between different entity types (e.g., Program/Project, Product/Project, Project/Task) so that you can visualize child/parent dependencies and relationships.

It’s rare to find a business that doesn’t already have project management software within its tech stack. It may be necessary to use a specific tool due to commercial or other business reasons. We provide you with the ability to integrate with other tools such as MSP and Jira so that the PMO can provide the executive team with that all important overview of all project delivery.

Time Recording

Measure every single minute spent on a project regardless of whether it is chargeable, productive or within standard hours. We help your business to accurately record what is actually happening and how long work takes in reality. With additional features such as a mobile app and feeds for revenue and billing systems, it’s a feature that will elevate the importance of the PMO within your business.
