Tasks and Objectives in Project Management
Project Management as a discipline comprises various stages such as project preparation (including project definition and the identification of boundary conditions, e.g. goals, dates, budget and resources), project execution and project completion. The task of the project management is to plan and control projects in order to reach project goals in the alloted quality, time and with the available resources.
The interplay of these three factors is often called the magic triangle. The ultimate goal of all project management efforts is to ensure project success while taking these factors into account. And in-STEP BLUE is the project management tool for it.
How do you plan your projects?
Project management has become a big competitive factor. That’s why it is even more important to plan your projects in a structured way and to coordinate and execute them well. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, use standards and best practices with in-STEP BLUE.
Project management is more than just planning resources and setting appointments. A defined approach, an eye for important content and good support for all project participants all contribute to helping you improve your chances of success.
How does in-STEP BLUE support you?
With in-STEP BLUE you can plan appointments, resources, and expenses and you can compare capacities, capture times and control projects. Because all the participants work with the same program the project will be automatically progressed.
You don’t need to update the project plan, it is always up to date.
