In order to survive and prosper in today's competitive environment, business organizations must derive the greatest possible value from their projects and campaigns. To achieve this primary goal, they need to find and use a project tool that could establish real-time collaboration, tailor to business needs, provide simple and initiative navigation tools, and ensure time savings. Here are several tips to help your business get a better project management software solution.
Desktop Project Software Collaboration in Real-Time
If your project is not personal there are other people participating in it. Your project is collaborative. You need to collaborate with the rest of your team on the tasks, status, documents and other concerns of the project. Real-time collaboration by a desktop project tool allows all team members to share all project stuff in one central database. It makes sense to teamwork. Managers are enabled to monitor team assignments, review work progress, gain feedback, and more.
For instance, in CentriQS database users are allowed to share project content among each other and simultaneously work on the same project. Some information can be prohibited for viewing and editing. For example, administrative tasks can be hidden from team members, while the top tasks of your project are shown for each team member but not editable. You can manage what content to "read" and "write" and what users should see/edit by using the system of permissions. This system makes real-time collaboration more scalable and flexible.
Project Tool Tailored to Your Business Needs
The common idea behind business project management is to enable organizations to drive change. However, each organization decides on its specific project management approach. Your company also wants to be unique, and so it looks for a customization solution that supports this intention.
Lack of custom project management leads to reduced business performance and low competitiveness. You company won't be successful if you employ a conventional project tool which can't tailor to your unique preferences. Don't be an outsider! Find a project customization solution that can completely match your needs.
As an example, you can try CentriQS which lets you customize its database and tailor to your projects. CentriQS delivers ease yet complete customization, with no coding and special knowledge required. There is an entity "Project" in the database which you can tailor by adding new properties, workflows, tables, and more. Other entities can be customized as well.
Full Text Search and Email/Desktop Alerts
As your business grows and develops, you deal with a great number of projects, some of which are completed and archived, others are in progress, and the rest are just your forecasts. All information about your projects gets larger each week or even day. How do you navigate through this information to find something needed? Is there an option to notify you and colleagues when a new record is added or something is changed?
Even if CentriQS database you use for keeping all information on your projects contains a great deal of records is rather large, it won't be a trouble for you to quickly and effectively find needed stuff. The full search capability enables you to enter text queries in the search line to explore the entire database for your keywords. The search results view gives you a detailed list of searches, with the keywords marked with bold font.
Another benefit is that you get automatically notified of changes occurred in the database by email and desktop alerts. The program lets set up subscriptions to manage the way what and how notifications should be come up when something got changed in the database.
Time Savings and Ease of Use
Business people don't accept time wasting. Even an hour wasted could be a failure. If business project software is not as simple and intuitive as possible, then using it means wasting a lot of time and money. Imagine, you use an application with a deadly terrible interface and inconvenient project tools and options in the main menu. Each time you add a task, look at your schedule, or do another simple action, you have to waste about 1-2 minutes navigating through the ugly interface. And you do numerous actions in the program each hour but with no productive result. This is unacceptable!
CentriQS delivers time savings to end users via automated and personalized information flows. The software has an intuitive navigation menu which lists key views (incl. the Project view) in a table. On the ribbon you can use key commands to manipulate data. No useless buttons, ugly-looking titles, ad banners or whatever else that could make you less productive. You can link your projects to other entities (and vice versa) and then use actionable reference fields in the Projects view to easily and quickly navigate across the entire database. CentriQS lets you raise the level of your enterprise-wide management operations with a user-friendly and reliable project tool that helps your decision makers keep abreast of and act on critical issues!
