Quality is continuously managed: More so than ever, it is important to produce quality results. Project management helps to identify, manage and control quality. Quality results make clients happy, which is a win-win situation for all involved.

Project management is comprised of a number of essential and basic functions that add to its importance and which are enhanced by technology and project management software such as Sinnaps:

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.

Rank Candidate Projects: When requested, all Candidate Projects that are in the repository should be objectively ranked in order of significance. The ranking criteria should include Target due dates, Impact on the total business, Impact on the technology architecture, Impact on other applications, Project size, cost and duration and Project risk.

It will be helpful to rank projects against each of these criteria separately and then compile a single ranking that weights each of these criteria against each other. This ranking process is typically used to feed quarterly budget decisions but may be requested at any time.
Project Identification is a repeatable process for documenting, validating, ranking and approving candidate projects within an organization.Due to the changing financial conditions within the total organization, it is necessary to establish a stable process for approving projects for initiation. This process will validate the business reason for each candidate project.
