While some Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tools automate some of the required project and portfolio status report, when we developed PPO we automated a number of the key project management documents that an organisation would mandate their project managers to complete.
Innovation comes in all shapes and sizes and the following improvements that have recently made their way into PPO sure do pack a punch!
Manual task duration is a thing of the past! We’ve implemented calculated task duration regardless of how you load your tasks into PPO. This enhancement helps streamline tasks within PPO which will hopefully lead to improved accuracy and most importantly save you valuable time.
Project management offices (PMOs) often face the difficulty of having no real, objective way to measure the performance of their project managers. Harmony is not alone in experiencing this challenge but has succeeded in streamlining its performance management information gathering process, while also providing clearer direction for its project managers and administrators.
Our latest product news feature introduces “setting default values” on all data fields in PPO. This administration enhancement has huge potential for streamlining data inputs, improving user experience and can even serve as an onboarding tool for the creation and automation of project artefacts like demand requests and project charters. Simply put, default values are pre-populated data inputs that users can either accept or modify.
Welcome to a double dose of innovation! In this blog post, we’re thrilled to announce some small yet powerful features that have recently been added to PPO. But that’s not all – we’ll also take you on a journey through the highlights of our 2024’s first new feature webinar.
In PPO, you’ve always had the ability to delete items from a custom list, but we’ve found that administrators were hesitant to delete the items due to the impacts that it could have on the underlying data, both current and historical data. We have now introduced the ability to mark custom list items as inactive, to avoid some of the pitfalls of the delete option.
Identifying and plugging data gaps has never been this easy! As we all know, complete and accurate data is essential for effective management of your portfolio of projects and is crucial for generating reliable reporting.
As users spend more and more time in PPO, we’ve seen the need to provide you with quick access to links from your new Configurable Home Pages, so today we’re rolling our new newest widget, the My Links Widget.
We get that for the project manager, understanding and managing project costs (including resource costs) is crucial for effective project planning and tracking. So today, we’re thrilled to introduce you to the automated workflow that will save you precious time and eliminate manual inputs for generating your resource budgets.
