Microsoft Project Portfolio Management Benefits
Through the Microsoft Project Portfolio Management (PPM) platform you can streamline your PMO and wider PPM processes and realise numerous benefits. At Wellingtone we take the time to understand the project & work management pain points you want to address and ensure that they are! Some typical benefits are outlined below.
360 Visibility
You, your organisation, stakeholders, and your team need visibility, without it you don’t know how projects are performing, who’s working on what or have the view(s) you need to make decisions.
Zoom in, zoom out – through the Microsoft PPM Platform see the full picture.
Resource Management
Resource management should not be like managing a herd of cats. As projects increase in complexity and require multi-disciplinary teams, with strict deadlines it’s vital that you have a centralised view of your people, equipment and any other resources,
With the Microsoft PPM Platform you can see resource demand vs capacity and detailed assignments in real-time.
Reporting
Reporting should not be a time consuming chore. It should be available when you need it to help inform decision making.
With the Microsoft PPM and Power Platform (Power BI) you can access the reports and dashboards you need, when you need in a standardised format or you can create your own.
Increased Consistency & Governance
You probably have defined standards and templates to support project life-cycles, governance frameworks and other artefacts such as documents and beyond.
With the Microsoft PPM Platform you can ensure that everyone is working in the same way, using the same templates and adhering to the governance processes that are in place.
Better Visibility of Requests and Ideas
Research shows that innovative companies are more successful; however, many organisations don’t have a way in which they can collect ideas or transition them in to projects to bring them to life.
With the Microsoft PPM Platform you can capture, organise and shape ideas and ensure the right projects and identified and managed.
Collaboration
Projects consist of teams and in order to deliver they need to collaborate effectively, especially when multidisciplinary teams from across the organisation or third-parties are involved.
With the Microsoft PPM Platform and Microsoft Teams you can streamline the approach to collaboration.
