Project managers need tools to quickly and effectively plan projects using the right methodology for the job. With TeamDynamix Project Portfolio Management tools, you will have the visibility and control you need, ensuring you can see all potential impacts.
Depending upon your needs, we can create complex plans for advanced project managers or simple task lists for more basic needs. The key to TeamDynamix is that there is a portfolio-driven approach. You can easily optimize resources against multiple projects and tickets.
We have developed a flexible platform that allows you to share as much or as little as you like.
One size does not fit all – that is why TeamDynamix offers the ability to create project plans using a variety of methods – from more traditional waterfall or agile to KANBAN / Card walls or collaborative task lists. In TeamDynamix you can also view tickets and projects together which makes planning much easier and faster.
With TeamDynamix Project Portfolio Management (PPM), you will have the visibility and control you need over project requests – ensuring you can see all potential impacts.
We can help you support any methodology: Waterfall, Agile, KANBAN, Card Wall, and Task Lists. Our solution allows you to manage issues, risks, baselines, documents, budget performance, and foster team collaboration.
Everything you need to keep projects on track.
Depending upon your needs, you can create complicated plans for advanced project managers or simple task lists for more basic needs. The key to TeamDynamix is that there is a portfolio-driven approach; you can easily optimize resources against multiple projects and tickets.
What separates TeamDynamix is that our tool provides the flexibility to grow into areas of greater maturity while not robbing the parts of the tool you are currently using. This allows smooth and seamless scalability with a software tool that acts as a strategic partner, not a tool that acts as an anchor as you scale and grow.
Tracking dependencies and sub-tasks.
Using our project management tool for Waterfall projects, predecessors and dependencies can be added to all project tasks. In addition, parent tasks are not updated directly. Instead, they rely on the aggregate of child tasks to determine completion. Our Card Wall/Kanban board utilizes “sub-tasks” to achieve these same results.
Easily Track Team Member Activity
Project team members/managers can update task, issue, and risk information. This includes tracking time, expenses, and status against tasks, issues, and risks. Team Members will also have the ability to create issues and upload/download project documentation.
Manage Project Documents in One Place
Each project has a project Briefcase for managing project documents. In addition, tasks, issues, and risks may also have associated attachments. The file management tools integrate seamlessly with Google Docs.
Budget Tracking
Tracking of budget expenses is done natively in the TeamDynamix. Time and expense can be budgeted and then tracked throughout the project.
Time Tracking
Time entered can be designated by type, project, and task. This is configurable if your organization does not require that level of granularity.
Managing Requests for Change (RFC)
Requests for change – RFCs – can be tracked and managed in a project. Also, RFCs can be quickly converted to a project with a single click. When converted into a project, project templates can be applied to the RFC.
Project Prioritization & Scoring
Our solution supports prioritization through a multi-level and configurable scoring model as well as detailed reporting managed through the project intake functionality.
TeamDynamix is designed for flexibility – one size does not fit all, that is why the platform allows you to tailor its usage to your needs.
Not every organization has a PMO or a mature project management approach out of the gate. TeamDynamix is built to grow with you – allowing for more basic usage such as project intake and review to more advanced project management through resource capacity management.
The platform manages different projects with different levels of formality and rigor — depending upon what you need. This enables different teams of varying abilities to use the same tool for otherwise disparate projects. Whether projects are managed, in an iterative fashion, or a traditional waterfall structure, TeamDynamix includes the right tools. One size does not fit all.
Finding the right project approach:

Our solution allows you to manage project intake & scoring, timelines, outcomes, issues, risks, baselines, documents, and budget performance. It is all about how comfortable you are with each area – we aim to fit your needs, not force you into a one size fits all approach – as that is not sustainable.
Depending upon your needs, you can create elaborate plans for advanced project managers or simple task lists for more basic needs.
