Complete projects on schedule
Prioritize, plan, and deliver meaningful projects that create value
Set clear objectives
Create a project roadmap that shows how major cross-functional efforts connect to strategic business initiatives. Then, build a schedule and define the objectives, budget, and scope for each project. Share the plan with internal teams (like IT, engineering, and marketing) so everyone understands the work's importance and what to expect.
Establish best practices
Standardize project management across your organization. Document your approach, defining templates, workflows, and approval processes to drive repeatable success. Automate project tasks — including assigning work, syncing statuses, and updating progress — to increase efficiency. And use the same report formats to streamline communication.
Identify dependencies
Use a Gantt chart to manage each project, specifying key phases and milestones that must be met to deliver on time. Define every deliverable, capture cross-team dependencies, and assess capacity to set realistic delivery dates. Adjust the plan as you go, and keep the team informed of updates so everyone can move forward with certainty.
Reduce project risk
Track progress in real time. Use a burndown chart to see whether you are on course to meet the completion date and monitor for changes in scope. Get immediately alerted about delivery risks like overdue work and unresolved dependencies. These insights are critical for spotting issues early so you can follow up with the relevant team and get back on track.
Communicate progress
Build the reports you need to analyze delivery metrics, including the status of activities and overall progress. Create a central dashboard to give leadership and other stakeholders visibility into all planned, current, and completed projects. This helps you increase organizational transparency around major cross-functional undertakings.
