Define Program structure, timelines and milestones: Define the Work Break down structure and establish timelines for projects, sub-projects and tasks. Setup milestones for quantifying benchmarks for project and task progress.

Establish Dependencies and Constraints across projects: Plan and define dependencies, set up task and project constraints - within and across projects.

Use the Resource Load Viewer to plan resource assignments efficiently: Utilize the Resource Load Viewer to find out which resources are available for what durations so that resource assignment planning can be done more efficiently based on actual program data. Estimate man power requirements based on user utilization.

Leverage global resources while assigning users: Determine whether skilled resources are available elsewhere in the organization for assigning to projects; exploit talent available across the program not just within a single location thereby preventing valuable projects being lost due to critical resource shortages.

Setup deliverables repository and schedules: Establish the centralized location where deliverables, input documents and reference documents would be available for sharing across stakeholders and team members with the right security privileges; establish scope of deliverable visibility; attach deliverables to specific tasks and milestones for determining deliverable schedules.

Map lifecycles to Tasks: Determine which lifecycle can be mapped on to which particular task for unparalleled flexibility in determining the process how each tasks will ultimately get executed.

Establish security policy and access privileges: Define who has access to what information and documents with the role-based access system in addition to the default settings established while configuring the program environment.

Report and Update issues: Report and update issues both within and across projects; use issue levels for prioritizing effort and urgency control measures; utilize the power of system driven issues which get generated automatically for highlighting project events that may go unnoticed; use the issue lifecycle management to sequence and control the issue resolution process.

Get Project and Issue alerts in Real-time: Get updated on project and issue changes through real-time notifications and alerts, add which roles or users could subscribe to notifications and alerts on changes in task events or status, in addition to the default stakeholders and team members.

Flexibly reallocate users based on changed project conditions: Utilize the User Manager to flexibly reallocate users based on changes in task or project conditions. Role-based program execution ensures that there is a smooth transition in implementation in the case of any contingency.

Perform efficient User and Program Time Management: Easy, flexible timesheets make it simple to enter and manage timesheets with one click approval and routing by project defined approval roles. Online Timesheets allow time reporting from anywhere.

Track and share any document through the secure centralized document repository: Easily Track and update any project document through the centralized information repository, share documents along with access with other team members based on role-based access privileges.

View CAD 2D/3D Technical Documents natively: Enables teams specially in engineering projects to view CAD drawings and Technical Documents in 2D or 3D natively within the software itself for seamless collaboration.

Use the lifecycle management engine to effectively control processes across the program: Utilize the lifecycle management engine to control how projects, tasks, issues and deliverables get processed thereby enforcing organizational process control; ensure that only the program/project manager controls project execution.

Collaborate across geographies and stakeholders: Allows all project stakeholders and team members to come onto the same page and communicate across locations with the ability to easily share and update information in real-time.

Constantly evaluate planned vs actual program and project metrics: Always stay current on how key program and project metrics based on time, deliverables, tasks and milestones are faring against their planned settings.

Visually monitor progress with the color coded indicators: Use the red, green and yellow color coded status indicators to draw attention to problem areas, thereby facilitating management by exception.

Get detailed analytical reports: Obtain in-depth, powerful analytical reports showing project and schedule slippages; deliverable, effort and issue variances; along with the ability to analyze the reasons for such slippages.

Use program filters to categorize effort and time data: Get powerful insight into how time and effort is being spent by using powerful filters to categorize project information into valuable knowledge for better decision making.

Track and Manage issue resolutions centrally: Get a global view of issues within and across projects; get real-time automatic issue notifications based on program hierarchy and/or life issue lifecycle phase; use the issue history to gain insight into how particular issues got resolved, for future reference.

Get real-time subscription based alerts and notifications: Broadcast real-time alerts on project changes, action items and reassigned tasks through the powerful notification engine.

Sharply focus Project Tracking through user-centric project views: Get own project views through project dashboards for saving time searching for information and sharpening cross-project focus.
