Every level of the modern organization depends on the successful completion of projects. The projects themselves may be challenging and complex, but we believe that organizing and executing projects should follow a simple straightforward methodology.EPM Workgroup completes a three step cycle for effective project management. It enhances collaboration by helping individuals, teams, workgroups and organizations Plan, Communicate, Track and Analyze their project information in one central SharePoint location
3 Steps to Project Management Success:
- Plan
Effective Project Managers start with a roadmap that defines the processes that will accomplish a goal. Microsoft Office Project 2007 is the world’s leading tool to plan and manage the complex interrelationships of people, action items and due dates that need to come together to achieve project success. Projects happen amid real world change and uncertainty, so EPM Workgroup facilitates continued planning and re-planning based on project information throughout the lifecycle of a project. - Communicate
Effective Project Managers share the project plan so that team members understand their responsibilities and roles in a project. They save time and improve coordination using professional tools that assign and update the status of specific action items and deadlines. Efficient teams organize project documents centrally so that the most current documents are accessible to team members who need them. EPM Workgroup extends the capability of Microsoft Office Project 2007 bringing streamlined, real-time communication updates to and from project managers and team members alike. - Track and Analyze
Plans require more than just static one-time communication. During the project implementation unforeseen constraints, changes to resources or shifts in priorities make project managers adjust the plan to keep it on course. To be effective, the status and details of the plan are continually reviewed, sensibly adjusted and quickly re-communicated to the team. EPM Workgroup’s efficient communication methods enable Project Managers to make decisions based on the actual progress of the project and effectively control the interdependencies of people, tasks, and workflows.This cycle of Planning, Communicating, Tracking and Analyzing keeps the team focused on the critical path and drives project success through effective online collaboration. The methodology is simple and straightforward, and EPM Workgroup delivers the tools to make it work for your teams.
