Managing Project Plans
Connections Online provides an easy framework for a standard project management process.
The Project Plan helps the manager get back control of deploying resources and tracking
progress of projects and department resources that are assigned to tasks throughout
the enterprise.
This page represents the entire project plan view. Our customers use this page to
manage the entire project – including:
- Project measurements [like budgets]
- Project tasks
- Project team members
This shows the detail of the meeting that can be captured and archived.
- Set agendas
- Add meeting minutes DURING the meeting (saving time to rewrite them)
- Track meeting follow-up tasks.
The meeting agendas, as well as other meeting information necessary for the meetings,
are updated and viewed BEFORE each meeting. Attendees come prepared and informed
– now the meetings are shorter and more focused.
This page has all the work for which the person is responsible. The person's job
and individual measurable goals can be easily managed and communicated.
Managing Individual Performance, Goals, and Tasks
These modules on the My Work tab outline the additional categories of work for which
employees can be responsible.
- Any task from any project across the enterprise that has the employee
listed as accountable is listed in this module. These can be updated right from
this module and will be reflected on the associated project task lists.
- Any meeting follow-up task from any meeting shows in the Meeting
Follow-up Task list – and can also be updated from this page.
- Personal Tasks are available (which is up to the discretion of the
employee to use)
- Overall goals and accountability can also be listed.
