Typically, program managers or PMO manager (Project Management Office
or Portfolio Management Office) have to manage multiple project managers at one
time. The problem is that all these project managers send their reports in Word,
Excel or Powerpoint format, causing the PMO manager to have to cut and paste
the information into other reports in order to send them off to program
sponsors, senior management and/or external clients. This is can be a time
consuming and tedious task.
UniPhi’s project management software has simple escalation functionality
that allows a project manager to eliminate cut and paste reporting and tag
issues and risks that need to be escalated to these senior groups. This means
that these stakeholders can view the critical information that needs their
attention either on screen or receive it in report format. This encourages the
management and resolution of any issues.
Formal reporting can now be automated with our new document within
a document feature. This is where a program manager can incorporate ten project
management reports into a new consolidated report without needing to cut and paste
information.
It also is able to consolidate financial and time information in
an almost limitless number of ways: how much money did we spend in this
electorate on road construction last financial year? How much has been committed against budget for
the far north of Queensland? How much was spent across all of Australia on
bitumen? All of this can be found with one click.
The end result of eliminating the need for cut and paste reporting
is that instead of simply reporting reasons why a project is struggling or
going to be unsuccessful, time can be spent actually managing and leading the
programs and projects to successful outcomes.
