| Scheduling | Having a clear overview of the tasks and progress helps you meet the project deadlines and manage your projects well. | |
| Time and task management | Everyone uses a shared, centralized tool to manage timesheets and scheduling. | |
| Resource management | Optimize your project team’s workload and prevent overuse / underuse of resources before it occurs. | |
| Problem and risk management | Keep track of problems and risks so that you can minimize or prevent them. | |
| Cost management | Monitor how costs are evolving and ensure that your project stays within budget. | |
| Idea management | Gather and document project ideas centrally, then analyze them and decide how to implement them. | |
| Custom fields | Make it even easier to analyze your data by including additional details on project status, phase, sponsor, invoicing, and objectives, for example. | |
| Project status | Continually monitor your projects using indicators and views showing the costs, duration, effort, and deadlines. | |
| Dashboards and reports | Having current, detailed data lets you make quick, well-informed decisions. Detailed dashboards showing KPIs related to portfolios, individual projects, and resource usage ensure that you have a good overview at all times. A drill-down feature gives you greater detail for each report. This lets you proactively manage your projects. | |
| User interface and usability | Navigating the system is easy and direct thanks to the new, well-designed interface. | |
| Collaboration | The ability of team members to work together easily is a key prerequisite for effective, successful projects. Each change in a project is documented which means the project manager will know which team member made what change. | |
| Comprehensive project workspace | The project homepage is clearly organized and gives authorized project participants central access to documents, risks, action plans, and boards, thereby facilitating collaboration between project members. |
