Controlling the Project Cost, in practice
To get the project finished under budget, we need to measure cost performance on each review date. Earned Value Management (EVM), is the ANSI 748 standard method to measure the project cost performance objectively. According to EVM standard, as of each status date, three measures are enough to analyze the project cost performance. Professional project managers can practice EVM effectively with PMPeople.
Practicing the PMBOK® Guide 7th Edition with PMPeople
PMPeople can be seen as the “conveyor belt” to move gears of professional project management in the Project Economy: As a project manager, I can follow most of the 12 principles just updating the project data in PMPeople. As a stakeholder, I can check many results on the 8 performance domains just getting the evidence of good/bad performance directly on PMPeople.
PMPeople to Control Agile Projects
Manage the agile part of a project: 1) keep professional project management in PMPeople: stakeholders engagement, risks, status reports, time sheets and expenses, etc. 2) decompose the project into work packages, meaning agile releases; 3) Connect work package #0 (the project itself) to Asana list for epics; 4) Connect each release to Asana list for user stories; 5) Managers do not need Asana: they use PMPeople to track epics and stories.
Controlling Projects Performance
Project managers use their soft skills to manage any project professionally, but they need also their hard skills, some of them highly automatable. PMPeople automates many techniques to control the project performance, such as decomposition, schedule control, earned value management, etc.
Tracking Time and Expenses with PMPeople
Many projects need to keep an accountancy on timesheets and expenses by team members to control the project finishes on budget and also for work invoicing. Organizations should avoid bureaucracy on time and expenses tracking to increase productivity. PMPeople get people focused on the real work, saving unproductive time.
Managing Tasks and Projects with PMPeople
Professional Project Management separates project management in two levels: Managers can control projects by managing work packages. Team Members can control the project by managing tasks. With PMPeople, you can manage work packages and tasks directly. Now you can integrate tasks from Asana.
PMPeople: The tool for the Agile PMO
