PROJECT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION

Problem Statement

Some companies do not own a smart and unified project management platform. They struggle to manage project budgets, expenses, schedules, resources and work assignments manually. Therefore, visibility is not easily shared across stakeholders & customers. Timely decisions cannot be taken accurately and effectively.

There are many software as a service for project management. However, none are easy to configure for specific needs cost effectively and quickly.

Solution Description

Our customisable Project Management platform delivers;

1. Cost management. There are 3 layers of project control. The top layer is Project. The second layer is Task. The last layer is Job. A project can have more than one task. A task can have more than one job. Each job has multiple cost components (we can add more components); making purchases, incurring expenses or managing worker assignments. Each worker has an associated cost. A job captures purchases and expenses. All actual costs are rolled up from Job, to Task, to Project just as the project budget is distributed down to Job layer. Dashboards are tailored for cost management.
2. Schedule management. From Project to Job, a customised Gantt chart makes everything visible and measurable. Each Task or Job has their own validation rules; Task 2 cannot start until the Task 1 is completed. Or the Task Start & End Date must be within the project duration. Similarly, Job under Task inherit the same rules. Each project has different tasks and each task has different planned start date and end date. If the task doesn’t start as planned, there will be a notification sent to the Task owner. Or if a task has started, and nearing the planned end date, yet the complete percentage is less than 50%, there will be another notification sent to the Task owner. Colour labels are used to draw attentions to troubled tasks.
3. Mobility. Use web or mobile user interfaces.
4. Approval management. A configurable workflow process for project approvals before projects can be initiated.
5. Machine Learning. As an extension, data can be used to predict project failures & successes.
