Project Management on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

Reduce resource and overall project execution costs by enabling lean optimized team planning along with delivering projects on-time and under budget.

In today’s world, many companies still manage their main programs with resources from disconnected platforms for projects and authoring applications. With that process, their tends to be a lot of manual and time-consuming activities with lots of room for error that takes place. This data drives critical business decisions that can have a detrimental impact on the company and its consumers.

Without the proper structure in place and resources, projects tend to fail. Some main factors for project failure include a Lack of Resource planning, Unclear Goals and Objectives, Lack of Project Visibility, Scope Creep and Communication Gaps. Either companies use multiple platforms to accomplish one single goal or they just don’t build the structure needed to put themselves in a position to have a successful project outcome.

Enovia Project Management is a unique tool that allows for companies to be able to create programs, projects, resources and so much more all within a single platform. Customers will have the ability to create programs, projects, objectives, goals, budgets, resources, risks, timelines, deliverables, etc all by using the Project Management interface within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Assigning resources to a project and then tracking their work/time on a project has been a challenge for many in the Project Management field. With the platform, many options become available for resource planning and people will have the ability to see each resources time allocation, actual vs budgeted costs and the ability to track each resources time against a project with the option for timesheets.

Setting objectives, risk, budgets, opportunities, and business goals is also a key to project success. Within the platform, companies can set all those parameters and then track against each. Not only does this help for tracking purposes, but it allows for the project to stay on track and allows for visibility to all areas of a project to all team members.

Project Management allows for a manager to take action to resolve issues with a full understanding of the full impact to the entire program. Projects also update with real-time deliverable status providing the ability to identify potential issues and risks before they even happen. With all projects, you’d like to determine the optimal mix of product capabilities to meet market demands and minimizing costs. In addition, companies want to schedule and track all aspects of the product development lifecycle in real-time as the work gets done and then be able to collaborate with one another. These goals of companies are all accomplished within the platform in a single interface. Alerts are sent out with project changes and all parties are notified when action is taken within a project/program. Each user has the ability to track the progress of a task, deliverable, approval, overall project or financials at anytime and all in real-time.
