Project Manager

 

The project manager is responsible for planning and executing his or her projects. Potential problems during the progress of the project must be identified in good time by the project manager, so that timely countermeasures can be initiated.

The fact that all information relating to the project, such as project attributes, key dates, descriptive data such as risks and opportunities, and evaluation data such as objective contribution and risk value, is displayed to the project manager in the Project Core Data module.

 

PLANTA Project provides comprehensive support for project manager tasks. As a result, deviations from project planning can be avoided.

 

Project Planning and Monitoring

·         Putting together the project team independently of the resource structure

·         Working out detailed timing, cost and resource plans

·         Delegating sub-projects to sub-project managers

·         Freezing basic plans and/or versions of plans

·         Project progress monitoring, early warning system with ‘traffic lights’

·         Project controlling through integrated reporting to control project progress in line with original planning

·         Project controlling by means of integrated reporting system (actual dates, efforts and costs)

·         Documenting projects, including project risks

 

 

Dashboard

·         Notification center for the latest information about the project

·         Display of: Status, tasks, budget deviations, forecasts for additional effort by project team members, other information and notes

 

 

Project Status Reporting

·         Project status with personal estimate of the project manager and comments to end date, effort and costs

 

 

Costs and Budget

·         Clear representation of project budget: cost details, cost type groups, key dates, effort

·         Cost planning can be carried out with the aim of determining the level of costs accrued during a project and their development over time, and comparing this with the current project status.

·         Reports on cost and risk trends and milestones can be created. The milestone trend analysis is a sophisticated forecast tool for deadline controlling.
