Add control – not complexity

Successful projects are all about control. If you run projects you will have a system for managing documentation, tracking progress, managing tasks and timescales. But how well does your system really work?

Straightforward™ Projects does not claim to be a heavy-weight project management system. That’s not where it’s at. What it gives you is the ability to run your projects in an organised, consistent and compliant way.

Now it might be that an Enterprise Class project management solution is right for your organisation. But we have found that, for many project teams, the overhead in implementing such a solution is simply too great. And even if they are able to invest in the training required, such solutions can be too complex for their needs – sometimes even increasing the workload of already busy people.

On the other hand, you might need something more than an Excel spreadsheet.

Make teams more productive

Straightforward™ Projects is a project management solution that will save you time and make your teams more productive, more quickly. It requires minimal training so users can benefit in a matter of hours. It will integrate with your existing business systems and with your other project tools, such as Microsoft Project, Excel, Word and Outlook so you can build on existing processes rather than having to completely reinvent the wheel.

Make information available

Straightforward™ Projects makes it easy for project stakeholders to get an “at a glance” view of the status of projects. It’s easy for users to create status reports and to see the history of risks, issues and documents. Project managers can save hours each week by auto-generating status reports – rather than cutting and pasting data.

You can create and maintain a single set of document templates for use on all projects. And you can make it easy for project teams to use them. You can also search across any existing documents. Version control means that you can be sure that everyone is working from the current document.
