A tool for all PM methods and processes

Project planning
project handbook contains all conventional project plans and provides you with the essentials for integrated PM planning. The handbook’s flexible range of methods assures that you can adapt the tools you use to the complexity of your project.

Project controlling
The handbook includes a great range of features, such as allowing you to directly edit the Work Breakdown Structure and recording actual project data by importing work packages, for pragmatic and efficient project controlling.
The project status report allows you to transparently summarise the project’s progress on a single page and to signal its status using a RAG rating system.

Project coordination
The tool comes with reports, a central To-Do and a decision list that can be used throughout the project for coordinating and recording your PM meetings.  Strategic decisions and measures can furthermore be directly inserted into the performance report from these lists by the press of a button.

Project closing
The handbook will enable you to analyse your projects with the aid of your project closing report. This report form will automatically compare your planning data with the project’s results and enable you to evaluate the project’s objectives and Lessons Learned, as well as to define the remaining tasks.

Modular structure
The project handbook can also be expanded by adding on various modules. These add-ons can all be easily activated with a product license key. We are furthermore constantly further refining the handbook’s add-on modules, including in collaboration with our customers.  These add-ons include:
> SharePoint connection
> Time Sheet
> Programme management functions
> Change Request Management
> Milestone Trend Analysis
> Earned Value Analysis
> Project Selection Analysis
