The Challenge

When you embark on a new project how do you create a game plan and communicate it efficiently to the involved stakeholders?

After the initial plan has been created and the project has started changes will be introduced which will impact time and scope. How do you manage these changes and make sure that your time reporting is up to date?

Projects are notoriously constrained for time and resources. How do you make sure that you have an accurate up-to-date picture of the detailed progress for individual tasks and the overall progress towards your milestones?

Solution

You can use the Planning and Time module to create elaborate project plans containing all the detailed plans for your project. The structure is a classical Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with the additional aspect that the tasks can be linked electronically to other ReqMan entities like requirements, specifications, users, issues and more.

The features of the project plans make them highly interactive and it enables users to easily see which tasks in the overall project plan they are responsible for. So instead of having a fairly static plan that only the Project Manager uses, the ”Plan” suddenly becomes the starting point for all day to day activities with real-time progress reports.

Each task in a plan also contains different key attributes that contribute to the management of the project such as time remaining (ETC) and time used.

The registered time for a task comes from the integrated time registration system which is an integral part of the project plan. Users can register time against each task and the tasks can be configured with billing codes and rates that apply to the particular project.

Also included is a flexible search interface that enables searches for specific tasks using various filters as well as searches for time spent on the various part of the project plan or overall.
