Project management software is one of the more robust and important components within ERP:FM, it links into task management modules and is a key to the work structure within the entire software. It defines the responsibilities and shows direction of what is to be carried out and how it is to be followed.
Gone are the days when accountability, time schedule and work format were never deployed. In recent times project management has been upgraded with the working environment for example finance, accounting, marketing, and task management systems function to a higher degree of importance when fused with project management modules. This has made it easy for the institution to set their timeline and achieve their objective or targets.
Features of a good project management software
Lets talk about the thought process behind project management, the four key areas of coordination, combination, scheduling and communication.
Having a good working tool implies that the work intended to be done has been planned for before and the right tools of trade are in place. This helps in saving time and energy and getting the target promptly.
Coordination: this is the most important feature of a project management software in that it works hand in hand with other department to deliver a given result.
Combination: it combines tasks and responsibilities that were bureaucratically separate and needed supervision to deliver results. All this now can be controlled from one point without conflict of interest.
Scheduling: time is an important factor in projects and show the capability of doing work before deadline. It has eased the project pressure because once it has been planned it is there to tell what, when and where a given task is to be done.
Communication; this is one of the drivers of a given project. The passing of information from one department to another eases the flow of work hence getting fast and quality results. Communication has broken the vice of bureaucracy and eliminated the seniority of departments across the board. Each department work in hand with each other for a common goal.
With everything run with the cost estimates the projected management software has been the right tool for in regulating monitoring and implementing the accountability that is needed for the project to go on. Corruption is an evil that starts way from poor recording, and lack of proper record keeping and more so the paper and pen accountability. This has been eliminated by ERP:FM by bringing in the prompt recording of the events happening on the ground.
