Project Management Software System

Knowledge: The more projects a business undertakes, the more knowledge it will acquire over time. This will serve as an asset to any business and project management helps to capture and retain knowledge.Creates an opportunity for learning: Sometimes, projects work out perfectly and other times, project fail miserably. Either way, much can be learned from previous experience and past mistakes can be avoided in the future. Project management ensures that these lessons are learned and applied in the future.

Assign Resources: Even though a project has been selected, it does not become an "active" project until resources are approved and deployed against it. It is critical to remember that when resources are assigned from the Skills Inventory, this deployment has a proportionate impact on the resource's availability. The organization must be very careful to not over-commit limited resources in an attempt to "look" more productive.

Review Business Case: The Business Case will be examined by an screening body with the corporate authority to accept or reject a Candidate Project. When a Business Case is accepted, the Candidate Project is captured in a repository for ranking and selection. If additional information is required on a Business Case, note it as “pending” and issue an Information Request to the requester. If a Business Case is rejected, send the information to the requester with an explanation for the rejection. Remain this information in a repository.

Without a clear path to follow when it comes to managing projects, the task of achieving their desired objectives would prove very difficult. Constraints such as time, resources, budgets, scope and quality are all too significant to simply pass over without applying a scientific approach. Project management provides exactly that: a scientific approach that helps to ensure successful results through structure and organisation.
