Web Based Project Management

Unanet's web-based project management software can help you manage projects from start to completion in six phases: planning projects, creating tasks, planning work, initiating projects, project tracking, and exporting project information into a back office. Throughout the lifetime of a project, you as the project manager have the ability to monitor, and as a result control, the project during all six steps. The high level of visibility for all project work is one of the main reasons Unanet clients have high project success rates.

Work Status Visibility Simplifies Project Management

Without an online project management office, managers face the difficult challenge of delegating responsibility to the right employees, and then performing a balancing act between micromanaging and losing control over projects. After all, work must be delegated (there is too much for one person), and managers are always responsible for the tasks they assign to employees and contractors.

When your company utilizes Unanet's web-based project management software, the managers at your company maintain control well after they have passed work onto their staffs. They can delegate through the Unanet interface, then track progress during the following weeks on the same database. Because workers can be required to add notes in Unanet, such as statements of work, status reports, and lessons learned, project managers can easily pick and choose when to become involved in the hands-on work of a project. When everything is running smoothly on one project, a manager can focus on something else.

Unanet also have more in-depth visibility than work progress. Because Unanet is also a project account software, managers can see the financial status of various projects at any time. Rather than waiting until the end of the month to realize a project is halfway complete and more than 90 percent of the budget has been used, managers can detect these problems well in advance. Established by the project managers, alerts can be set in advance to send email notifications when a selected percentage of the budget is reached. Unanet provides detailed information on actual costs versus projected costs throughout the duration of a project.
