Methodology
Supports definition of standard project templates
The Project Network™ Methodology Management feature encourages and supports definition of standard project templates. These standardized project templates will support the creation of Methodologies and Projects that will leverage existing materials for future projects. They will serve as the roadmap that will guide current and future project teams as they help to transform your organization. Kaizen and Continuous Improvement subscribers take note – your methodology is better understood and refined with each successive project.
Imagine projects deploying more rapidly because you have eliminated the front-end time lag due to project set-up. Imagine teams forming and value-added work beginning sooner because expensive re-work is a thing of the past. Your standard project templates once developed are saved and portable - meaning that time consuming project initiation house keeping tasks are eliminated, and project is consistent with others in the organization. Reports and tools across your organization’s projects will be uniform, familiar, and easy-to-use.
