Project Status Reports

Managers request project status reports to make individual employees accountable for their assignments, learn of any obstacles that must be overcome, and ultimately ensure that work is completed in a timely manner. Some managers ask all employees to write weekly reports on what they accomplished. Others hold meetings, and some managers find it more efficient to simply follow up with employees individually.

Unanet Project Status Reports

Unanet's professional services automation software offers project managers a superior solution. Rather than receiving weekly updates, managers can view real-time project status reports any day of the week. Because status reports are available in real time, managers can spend less time sending follow-up emails and placing phone calls when assignments have already been completed. More time can be expended toward analysis and decision making activities which improve the profitability of the organization. Instead of holding meetings that take employees away from their work, everyone is connected on one central interface.

Unanet makes it possible for an upper-level manager in New York to oversee projects in Tokyo, Atlanta, and Los Angeles simultaneously. The employees at each location are responsible for connecting to the Internet and entering the status of their respective tasks. When work is being completed according to schedule, all authorized Unanet administrators will know, because they can see the reports.

Web-based project management software benefits everyone involved. Executives can oversee projects on a macro level, managers gain more control over their employees without micromanaging, and individual employees gain accountability and reap the benefits of connected thinking. Everyone is credited for their individual work, while the entire organization remains a team.
