When Project Director is useful

Project Director screen shot

You can use PROJECT DIRECTOR to manage a single project although it is more useful when dealing with many small to medium sized projects that are found in medium to large sized organizations.

Similarly, if you have a large project with many sub-projects PROJECT DIRECTOR could manage them but it won't take notice of any dependencies and resources that are common across the projects. In this case the use of project consolidation is probably a better method of tracking.

To summarize, PROJECT DIRECTOR can be used to solve any of the following business needs:
  • you want to track many independent projects
  • you want to reduce project reporting time
  • you want to introduce and maintain project standards
  • you want help in evaluating project performance
  • you want to communicate project progress to many people electronically
  • you have many varied people with different levels of experience managing projects
