Multi-Project Management

 

With PLANTA Project, PLANTA offers a solution for multi-project management, for the planning and control of several projects that share resources or are dependent on each other in terms of content. Projects can be grouped together across departments or areas by project portfolio, and programs can be defined.

 

Multi-project manager role

The core function is to coordinate all the individual projects in terms of the best possible achievement of the strategic corporate objectives. A multiproject manager analyses the interactions of projects, to identify cross-project resource conflicts and to enable appropriate optimization measures to be initiated.

 

 

Central project controlling for multi-project managers

PLANTA Project provides a clear overview of resource utilization across all the company’s projects. This enables statements to be made on the availability of individual resources or departments for concrete customer inquiries at a glance. This simplifies communication with customers and offers competitive advantages.

At all times, the multi-project manager can see the project manager’s current, personal estimate of the project status with regard to dates, costs and effort (see colored triangles). One-to-one talks are therefore not needed so often.
