Every day, medium-sized and large enterprises are managing hundreds, even thousands, of projects in parallel. With a limited amount of human resources, tight schedules and finances, project managers have to hold their ground.
A powerful solution for complex multi-project and program management should provide options for transparent control. To this end, companies often use multi-project overviews in the form of milestone plans. The solution should also be easy to use across company boundaries.
TPG ProjectLink – an addin product for Microsoft PPM – enables collaboration across multiple projects and in programs. It ensures high performance and optimal transparency for project managers and steering committees regarding schedules, work and costs across projects.
| Drivers | Benefits | |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Project Transparency | TPG ProjectLink provides increased transparency thanks to links between tasks across different project plans. | |
| Roll-up Reporting | TPG ProjectLink provides automatically created multi-project overviews with status indications for the steering committee. | |
| External Project Alignment | TPG ProjectLink enables simple and targeted links between tasks in project plans, even across company boundaries. For instance, this is particularly interesting when collaborating with external suppliers. | |
| Easy Sharing of Information | TPG ProjectLink allows you to mirror external project tasks in your own project plan. This provides a clear, graphical comparison of the tasks. This makes it easy to modify planning for interdependent projects. | |
| Up-to-Date Information | TPG ProjectLink saves critical time during projects by providing access to key information about changes in both internal and external projects. | |
| Ease of Use | TPG ProjectLink offers complete information on other projects’ tasks and status information without the need to open each individual project. |
“TPG ProjectLink makes it easier to work with links between projects, while increasing transparency and giving us a good basis for decision-making. I particularly like the fact that we can choose between different types of link.”
Jaap Van der Meulen, Program Manager, Elster Instromet
