A Web Based Project Management Office

TrackerSuite.Net provides an online, Web based Project Management Office (PMO) software solution for tracking the progress and earned value of its project portfolio, and managing it effectively.

The role of a Project Management Office (PMO) can vary, it can serve in a consulting capacity providing mentoring and support for project managers and their teams, or as a central unit, staffed with project managers who are assigned to other business units to lead projects.

The benefits of establishing an online Project Management Office include improvements to prioritization within the organization's project portfolio, resource allocation, budgeting and scheduling. The ultimate benefit is a reduction in projects delivered overdue, overbudget - or not delivered at all.

TrackerSuite.Net facilitates these operations by providing Web based PMO software tools for tracking projects online, identifying their value, and facilitating the efficient allocation of resources to ensure the success of projects.

Using TrackerSuite.Net modules, the Web based Project Management Office can:

• Track the progress and health of projects online using project dashboards and project portfolio reports.
• Provides a structured project environment that can be utilized by project management methodologies including PRINCE2, Six Sigma and Earned Value Management.
• Establish best practices project templates for repeating successful projects.
• Identify and measure the earned value of projects.
• Review resource availability and workloads for effective allocation.
• Establish an online, central document and file store for project managers and teams.

TrackerSuite.Net also performs functions which may not be utilized directly by an online Project Management Office, but facilitate its operation:

• Comprehensive status reports which include input on project health diagnostics. These reports are utilized in the generation of project dashboards and project portfolios, and their timeliness is enforced with automated reminders for late reports.
• Account codes can be established for project and tasks, simplifying project budgeting and billing, such as in the case of a internal software development project where work needs to be identified as "capital" or "non-capital".
