The vast majority of project managers say the project management maturity level of their department is either neutral or less than satisfying. When it comes to the maturity level of their entire organization, 63% of respondents felt somewhat dissatisfied, very dissatisfied, or neutral.
Project management comes with its own set of challenges that only become increasingly complex as more team members become involved. For cross-departmental projects in large enterprises, there is often a lack of alignment, miscommunication, and disconnects that can quickly derail a project entirely.
coAmplifi is a workforce management software packed with project management tools designed to streamline projects across departments in large enterprises by keeping everyone aligned. Here, we cover the benefits of improved project alignment and how this software can help your enterprise work more cohesively.
Benefits of Project Management Software
Project management tools help large enterprises complete projects on time and on budget without duplicating efforts. Aside from better organization, enterprises can achieve:
- Cost savings: Companies that invest in proven project management practices waste 28 times less money than organizations with poor project management by helping to keep projects on budget.
- Shortened project timelines: Greater levels of organization can shorten project delivery times by maximizing efficiency across departments.
- Reduced risk: Properly allocating resources reduces risk by making sure your staff have the correct skills and training to successfully complete the work. It also lessens the risk of employee burnout by ensuring work is evenly distributed.
- Real-time update access: Keep all departments on the same page with an application that updates progress bars and tasks in real-time. This can save employees time by eliminating the need to email back and forth or schedule a meeting for project updates.
- Enhanced project planning: Project management software allows project managers to create detailed plans complete with milestones, clear goals, and tasks that can be scheduled in advance – all of which can help ensure project success.
How to Streamline Project Management With coAmplifi
coAmplifi serves as an all-in-one centralized source of truth that helps teams track and monitor their tasks and project progress throughout the lifespan of the project. It increases transparency between departments by showcasing what each department is working on, where they stand in the process, and who’s leading which project components.
Here are a few ways large enterprises can benefit from coAmplifi’s features.
Optimized Resource Allocation
Better resource allocation equals better cost management and reduced risk – both of which can be major project management challenges for large teams. coAmplifi helps ensure proper resources are dedicated to each project by forecasting the availability of your resources through time-tracking tools. It can also help ensure you have the most qualified staff leading the charge by assigning roles based on each employee’s job description.
Measurable Task Tracking
Task tracking enables every member of an organization to stay on top of who’s doing what at any given time. With coAmplifi, you can assign individual tasks, team goals, and organizational goals broken down into measurable steps to track progress. Not only does this help departments stay updated on project progress, but it also helps create accountability around individual tasks by assigning clear expectations and due dates.
Cross-Departmental Communication Channels
Interdepartmental miscommunication can be a huge issue when it comes to cross-team projects. coAmplifi’s platform has built-in communication and collaboration tools such as instant messaging, a virtual campus, shared meeting notes, and more – all within the same application. This ensures all departments are using the same communication channels and tools so there’s no confusion about where to connect or find information.
Remote & Hybrid Workforce Alignment
Remote and hybrid work environments add an extra layer of complexity for large enterprises, as schedules, time zones, and work locations vary. This can create challenges when trying to schedule team meetings.
coAmplifi’s calendar feature enables everyone within the organization to see who’s working, who’s out of the office, who’s on vacation, and whose workdays haven’t started yet to simplify collaboration. Users can also see each employee’s time zone and full calendar to find out what each team member has planned for the day.
Forecasting & Automation Features
Project management tools can help teams save time, which can be a huge benefit for large organizations with hundreds or thousands of employees. coAmplifi’s forecasting tools allow you to model the cost and profitability of each project using built-in hourly bill rates. Its business analytics tools can help you adjust projects as you go to improve efficiency, and its automation tools can help reduce the time associated with manual tasks like invoicing by generating pre-bills.
