The team had managed a complex and broad mix of projects taking
into account varied documentation needs, communications tactics,
multi-level project management methodology, disparate systems,
and multiple document locations
Difficulties included management transparency, transitioning
work to others, overseeing and providing guidance on the quality of
information, and standardizing reporting metrics
Third party tools require extensive setup and expensive licensing
Ramp up time for end-users needed to be short
Solution and
Results
Implemented a centralized project tracking, monitoring, and
reporting tool for the entire department that included project data
at the project and portfolio levels
The implementation included a scalable and adaptable tool that uses
a simple user interface brings transparency of data and continuously
improves project tracking, reporting, and the overall efficiency to
project management and implementation

allocation and workflow management through the visibility to hours
of work and percent of FTE allocated to any project
