Bringing It All Together in a Single View 

With TeamDynamix you get a portfolio-driven approach that allows you to easily optimize resources against multiple projects and tickets. From Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tools to project request intake, governance, and scoring; and resource and demand management – we assist you in building an enterprise-level tool. A one platform approach, bringing IT Service Management (ITSM) and Project Portfolio Management (PPM) together, gives you a single view of resources, requests, status, and risk. 

If your organization has a specific business objective it wants to accomplish, there may be numerous projects that contribute to that overall effort—each with its own timeline, budget, and resources. PPM software that allows you to look across all projects within a portfolio is vital. By managing with a portfolio approach—rather than managing projects in isolation—stakeholders can see how everything is tracking and aligns with the business’s strategic needs. 

Enterprise-Wide Project Management 

While many projects might be centered within the IT department, you may also work on projects with other departments, like Facilities, Marketing, Human Resources, etc. To best manage these projects, there are a few things to consider – and things that your PPM software should help with. 

The first is collaboration. When project work is spread across departments, communicating project-related information clearly and effectively is essential. And speaking of communication, you need to do so with a universal language. By communicating with easy-to-understand and jargon-free dialog, you will avoid confusion and foster stronger relationships between departments—and that’s a good thing. 

PPM Software Must-Haves 

• Support for all project methods: Waterfall, Agile, Kanban, Card Wall, and basic task lists. 
• Institute a formal project intake review process 
• Use workflow to ensure that steps are moved along as planned. 
• Conduct in-depth resource capacity planning analysis. 
• Engage in budget planning & time tracking for better outcomes. 
• What-if planning scenario mapping. 
• Manage project documents in a centralized storage repository. 

Whether you have created a formal PMO or you’re running projects separately within each group, a portfolio approach will help you gain a better view of all projects related to one area or strategic pillar.
