About
iTools Project Control
As business becomes increasingly more project-driven the challenge
is to plan, co-ordinate and control those projects while overcoming
obstacles such as distance and time differences.
The days of team members sitting next to each other in the same office
have gone. Now the business executives are more likely to be based
in Sydney communicating via a laptop with the project manager in Melbourne
while the teams in Western Australia and North America get the job done.
Project Control is the tool that allows these geographically dispersed
team members to communicate and interact on all aspects of a project
through the Internet. It allows you to control the project in a way
no other software tool can.
The Internet lets us get over the limitations of distance.
Project Control has been designed on the Internet from the ground
up meaning all team members have access to everything they need to
control the project from wherever they happen to be, regardless of
distance or time.
It provides a physical work space or consistent location, where project
members can go to find information about the work that's being done
or is planned. And it serves as the archive once the project is finished.
How it works for you...
Imagine you are the project manager for Widget Enterprises
and you have been assigned the management of a project to market your
company on a global level and bring it into the 21st century.
The marketing department of Widget Enterprises is based in Sydney,
Australia. The advertising consultancy firm that will implement the
marketing plan is in London, Europe and your executive is in Amsterdam,
Europe. You reside in Sydney, Australia but are required for meetings
in Europe once a month.
Key Requirements of the Project:
- The Marketing Department need a system that will collate their
ideas on how to sell Widgets to the world ensuring no ideas get
lost in the creative process
- The Advertising Consultancy needs to be given a clear direction
of what tasks are required of them and the deadlines
- The Executive wants to be able to see at a glance the financials
and be notified of any risks or issues that may impact the successful
completion of the project
- Project control allows the Project Manager to:
- Control the project delivery process
- Monitor the status and history of tasks in progress
- Function within the project from any location
- Utilise common project and business processes
- Centralise information for all project members to view and
interact with
