Programme Management with Asta Teamplan
A programme is a collection of projects with a common goal. Programmes can be created for a particular client (internal or external) or around the skills required e.g. web design or software development.
Asta Teamplan facilitates effective programme management as you can allocate resources, monitor and update progress and control costs on a programme by programme basis.
You can set up role-based views so users can view project information that is important to them. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) or project tree enables you to view projects at programme, portfolio or project level. The Column view shows all the tasks within a project detailing information such as start/end date, duration, actual costs etc. The gantt chart illustrates a projects schedule through task links, milestones, task duration etc. Then the graphical histogram clearly shows your resource allocation at department or individual level.
Asta Teamplan also makes it easy to create a wide range of reports on each programme which are useful for analysing progress across the programme, presenting results to clients, or comparing the status of different programmes.
Programme Management with Asta Teamplan - Key Benefits
improved resource utilisation
Programme management enables you to ensure your resources are allocated to the best benefit of the programme as a whole, rather than on a project-by-project basis. In addition, by taking a holistic view of the programme you can avoid duplication of activities and schedule work to avoid delays and disruption.
Quick & easy cross-Programme reporting
With Asta Teamplan you can generate cross-programme reports quickly in order to share information with clients, senior managers or team members. The reports facilitate comparisons across the elements of the programme, for example on progress, cost and workload, so you can identify areas of strength and weakness.
Easier project co-ordination
By considering projects as a programme rather than individually, it is easer to co-ordinate activities, ensure you make best use of available time and work is not duplicated.
