1. Automated Project Office Features & Functions
Automated Project Office (APO) is a SaaS solution that helps managers and executives
proactively ensure that they successfully complete the projects for which they are responsible .
With APO, business leaders can proactively address:
• Troubled projects
• Surprises
• Improper risk management
APO starts where traditional project and portfolio management tools end. The solution takes a
360° view of what is needed to deliver a successful project. APO provides management via
walking around, process governance, and operational visibility.
Management by Walking Around
Management by walking around (MBWA) is used to gain information directly from employees
working on specific projects. APO delivers the key constructs of MBWA:
• Consistent and minimally intrusive reviews let management stay in direct touch with the
individuals doing the work.
• Audit responses can be leveraged to proactively address potential problems before they
become unmanageable.
• Customizable risk assessment framework pinpoints problem areas.
Process Governance
Consistent use of up-to-date processes and frequent team member assessments keep projects
on-time and on-budget. By monitoring team processes, rework is eliminated and the expected
solutions are delivered. Benefits include:
• Best practice enforcement ensures projects stay on track.
• Optimized processes are captured and enforced across the entire organization.
• One competitive advantage of the APO solution is the knowledge repository; it contains
industry leading processes and practices that have been used time after time to
guarantee project success.
2. Operational Visibility
APO’s user friendly screens analyze projects and show potential problems to management.
Multi-level views, dashboards, and reports provide the necessary information for all levels of the
IT organization:
• APO imports key data from other operational applications like traditional project
management tools and synergizes the information with team member knowledge and
intuition.
• Historical data is compared to current trends to reveal changes and risks that might not
be caught otherwise. By coupling the historical trends with current activity, APO helps
ensure project success.
• Clear, contextual visualization of all activities provides up to date information, revealing
the status of each project and ensuring that nothing goes unseen.
Project Success
With APO, the pulse on the team’s qualitative perspectives on requirements, risks, and
deliverables is leveraged to address the critical points for ensuring successful projects. APO’s
proactive engine and dashboards are configurable to meet the specific needs of each
organization. Team intuitions and project status are synergized to highlight potential issues before
they become catastrophic.
From the earliest stages of the project lifecycle all the way through to the end, APO answers the
question, “Will my project be successful?”
