Launch Your Proof of Concept Today
Kicking off a PPM Works Proof of Concept for Project Online is a quick and straightforward process. There are four core focus areas that come standard; Project Visibility, Team Collaboration, Power BI Reporting and Project Security. We recognize that every organization has distinctive challenges which is why we offer additional focus area options. Together, during a consultative session, we will review your business goals and choose the focus area options that align. The engagement then kicks off with envisioning sessions. These sessions are designed to talk through your processes and the best configuration for Microsoft Project. After your Project Online environment has been configured we will be with you every step of the way with weekly calls and workshops to ensure you and your team are successfully using the tool. Typically, the engagements run from two to four weeks depending on the focus area options chosen.
The Project Online Proof of Concept (PoC) effort will provide the workflow and configuration necessary for key decision makers to see and understand how leveraging Project Online will increase governance and efficiency, while highlighting future Project Online functionality. The PoC goal is to provide one centralized solution.
