Integrated project management now made possible
Project management is essentially the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques applied to project activities in order to meet or exceed stakeholder needs and expectations from a project. Yet there are a number of reasons why projects don’t match up to expectations and end up being failed projects. From lack of efficient methodologies to failed attempts at managing tasks, projects can be affected adversely if all issues connected with project management are not integrated efficiently. Most enterprises often face their primary challenge in simply defining the project appropriately. The juncture where most enterprises fail is when the planning of the project has serious flaws. Also most enterprises cannot manage tasks and their eventual follow-ups effectively.
An integrated approach is best suited for better project management results. Enterprises would do well to opt for a solution that can help them with managing tasks in a better manner. An optimized solution that offers task management solutions and ensures that tasks and their follow ups are easily managed even with limited resources will be a definite advantage for any enterprise. From requirements management tool to test management from issue management to risk management, enterprises need a solution that can allow both manual and automated tasks’ allocation easily for all the different stakeholders. It should facilitate systematic and organized workflow management in a distributed environment. An integrated solution will assist in generation of multiple tasks for different resources/ rules for a particular item of a project. It can also define parallel Tasks for same or different sets of resources. Such integrated issue management tools can design custom tasks as well.
Enterprises would also benefit if the solution can offer simple ways of navigation to expose a link to any item on the task form. Generally resources require more information on the record for which he/she is supposed to accomplish a Task, with a one-click access of record from the Task can help the resource to work independently and thereby reduces spare dialogues among the workgroups. When a solution also offers an in in-built Timesheet that can track time entries against the Task allocated to resources it can assist project managers in keeping them independent from any other third party timesheet management tool. Therefore approvals and rejections can be done easily. The integrated project management solution can also help all resources to get involved in a project to record the actual time and effort that has been spent in doing the assigned tasks. Such a solution can allow project manager to view information about the actual spend on the Project in a number of ways, from individual resources for any specified period of time, or viewing the summary of hours spent in the Project.
