1. Portfolio, Program, and Project Management
The Portfolio, Program, and Project Management (P3 Management) feature provides a unified platform for tracking all of an organization's strategic initiatives. +P gives project managers a comprehensive view of all investment portfolios, programs, and projects, along with the ability to keep them on track.
The platform also enables executive office staff to plan, schedule, and monitor large-scale projects, providing detailed analysis of portfolio status and expected return on investment.
2. Schedule and Tasks Management
Schedule and Tasks Management makes it easy to build, organize, and track project tasks. The +P interface offers functions for building the schedule and assigning a team to each task, including one-click importing of MS Project plans. Managers can track project deliverables and key milestones, and use personal task lists that consolidate all tasks assigned to them.
The system also sends automatic notifications whenever a task is created, updated, or completed, making it easier to track progress.
3. Project Governance
Project Governance is concerned with managing the project lifecycle through Phase Gates, ensuring that required tasks are completed before moving on to the next stage.
In +P, project stages can be defined to match each organization's specific methodology, with checklists set for every stage. The platform also allows supporting documents to be uploaded for each checklist item, notes to be added as needed, and required approvals from relevant authorities to be defined before a project can advance to the next stage.
4. Risks & Issues Management
Risks & Issues Management enables comprehensive oversight of risks and issues across all portfolios, programs, and projects, and addresses them proactively. The +P platform enables users to identify and monitor every risk related to a project or portfolio, and reclassify them based on their impact and probability.
It also allows approvals to be configured for creating, updating, or closing risks and issues, and lets risks be converted into issues with a single click. In addition, support requests can be raised and escalated according to a defined service ladder, and instant notifications are received whenever a risk or issue is added or modified.
5. Status Reporting
Status Reporting provides a summary of planned and completed project activities, displayed chronologically from most recent to oldest. +P enables teams to prepare a concise report
on the status of each project using a rich text editor. It also provides a timeline view of the update history to visually track the progress of work.
6. Financial Management
Financial Management enables the planning and monitoring of budgets, payments, and invoices with full transparency. The project manager in +P can adjust the budget allocated to each project and issue invoices by adding the date, amount, and any notes. The system also supports managing contract information and payment terms, and tracking earned versus consumed amounts (Earned Value Management). It can retrieve financial data from enterprise systems (such as ERP or SAP) with instant synchronization.
7. Documents Management
Documents Management means having a central library for all project files, making them easy to find. In the +P platform, all project documents are brought together in one place, eliminating the need to navigate between different sources. Documents can be organized into dedicated folders that support structure, with efficient full-text search across document content. The platform also allows documents to be shared with stakeholders and interacted with directly.
8. Team Management
Team Management enhances instant collaboration among team members. The +P platform provides tools for managing team members and assigning them to tasks, deliverables, and risks. It also supports real-time collaboration through chat, allowing teams to discuss work details and share updates instantly.
9. PMO Operations Workflow
PMO Operations Workflow eliminates the need for paper-based transactions and speeds up the completion of PMO procedures. Electronic forms and workflows can be built to manage processes such as project charter approval, change requests, or project closure. +P links these forms to the phase gate; for example, a project cannot move to the planning stage until the project charter form has been approved.
10. Project Dependencies
Project Dependencies are concerned with managing the sequential relationships between tasks or projects. +P allows tasks to be linked through relationships such as "start-to-start" and "finish-to-start," ensuring that sub-tasks do not begin until preceding tasks are complete. Dependencies can also be managed between projects within the same portfolio or across multiple portfolios. The system highlights potential risks and issues when planning dependencies, and automatically notifies you whenever a key task is affected.
11. Notifications
Notifications ensure that updates are communicated instantly across multiple channels. +P provides users with automatic reminders as task and project deadlines approach, and alerts when new tasks or risks are assigned to them.
It also keeps the team informed of any discussions or updates related to their projects or portfolios. Alerts can be received in-system or as instant notifications by phone, email, or text message.
12. Task Center
The Task Center brings all tasks and activities together in a single interface to make them easier to manage. +P displays tasks on a central calendar to set completion dates, and allows multiple tasks from different projects to be updated in just a few clicks. Updates, comments, and document attachments can be posted on any task or activity, and immediate actions such as closing issues or approving updates can be taken directly from the same interface.
