The project management module of TimeSuite allows Project Managers and Project Directors to have complete control over projects they are responsible for.
Set-up, maintenance and reporting of projects is via an easy to use and intuitive interface.
The project manager can:
- Assign personnel to the project
- Assign any number of cost centres to the project
- Create charge out rates for each team member involved by cost centre and also by time period
- Assign tasks to team members involved in the project
- View task completion statuses
- View timesheets created as part of the project
- View cumulative and real time reports on time and resource usage
- View other reports as described in the reports module
Project Setup and maintenance
Project set-up and maintenance is accomplished with the aid of a wizard which guides the user through the steps involved. Each completed step of the process is saved and can be returned to at a later date if set-up is interrupted.
The project is not available for use by team members until set-up is completed.
There are four steps to setting up a project:
Once project setup is completed, the project manager can easily access all required details of the project via a simple dashboard.
Once the project is set up, the project manager or director can begin to assign tasks to the personnel responsible for performing them.
The
tasks system is very closely tied to the timesheet system. Tasks raised by the project manager can be automatically charged to the project and cost centre when the task assignee marks the task complete.
All information generated for example by creating a timesheet or completing a task is instantly available to the project manager via the project management dashboard.
