Waterfall, Agile, Kanban, Card Wall, basic task lists—all these project methodologies should be available within your PPM software because you need to fit the methodology to the project (and project team) and not the other way around. And for some projects, a hybrid approach that combines elements of more than one of these is the way to go. By “right-sizing” your project plans for the project you’re undertaking and the team of resources that will be doing the work, you are setting yourself up for success.
With project portfolio management, you get comprehensive support for all projects, regardless of size, complexity or simplicity.
PROJECT INTAKE AND WORKFLOW
Leverage an intake framework, which will help you compile, analyze, and evaluate the data required to decide which ideas should become projects and which projects should be approved.
COLLABORATION
Project teams are more effective when they can seamlessly collaborate. Sharing notes, discussing issues and risks, and understanding status updates in real time contribute to top-notch project performance.
DASHBOARDS AND REPORTING
When it comes to project management, there is no bigger mantra than transparency. Gain a consolidated view of projects across the team with custom views and the ability to export or publish publicly.
PROJECT PLANNING
Quickly and effectively plan projects using the right methodology for the job. Speed planning with project templates to support all maturity levels, from simple to complex, using the right fit for each project.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Quickly measure and report on the activities, issues, risks, and tasks that have the biggest impacts on successful project completion. Set custom alerts for specific deviations, project health and project status.
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Resource constraints are often reported as the number one issue facing IT organizations. PMOs need a clear view of all work and resources across the portfolio for resource capacity planning.
TICKETS AND PROJECTS
Sometimes incidents and service requests need to become projects – and sometimes projects kick off service requests. With a single-platform approach, you can manage both in one place, on one platform.
PORTFOLIO APPROACH
Eliminate surprises and identify potential roadblocks before they occur with a portfolio approach. Establish the framework to keep projects on track, aligned with goals and ensure completion on time and within budget.
