Delivery reliability is a sales argument

ProjectBuddy brings projects, capacity, dependencies and delivery capability into one view, so you lead the whole – not just the tasks.

“What struck me in the first impression was the comprehensiveness that other tools can't match.”
– Experienced project manager, IT consulting organisation

Sound familiar?

  • Task management works, but the overall picture is missing

    Sprints and tasks progress, but their impact on schedule, profitability and the client promise stays disconnected.

  • Deviations are noticed only when there is little room left to react

    Changes in schedule, capacity and costs only become visible as a whole when it's too late.

  • Dependencies between projects easily stay hidden

    One project's delay or resource shortage can affect other deliveries before the overall impact is noticed.

  • Prioritisation decisions are made without a shared overall picture

    It's hard to know what to start, postpone or stop when the projects' impacts aren't seen together.

Operational management works, but leading the whole falls short.

  • Project progress
  • Capacity and finances
  • Risks and dependencies
  • Prioritisation and decisions
ProjectBuddy
An up-to-date overall picture for leadership
  • Prioritise based on shared information
  • Understand the impacts between projects
  • Share an up-to-date picture of the situation with the client

Make delivery capability visible to the client, too

The client and other external parties can be invited with role-based permissions. A shared picture of the situation adds transparency and supports client trust from the proposal stage onwards.

This is how client project leadership changes

  • The overall picture of projects is visible above the tasks

    Sprints and tasks can continue in your current tools, while leadership sees the projects' status in one view.

  • Delivery capability is assessed before the client promise

    A new project's impact on capacity and other deliveries can be assessed before it is started.

  • Impacts between projects are visible in advance

    The impact of a delay, a resource change or a prioritisation decision doesn't stay within one project.

  • A shared operating model ensures project quality

    Quality gates, tasks and agreed practices guide every client project in the same way.

  • An up-to-date picture of the situation can be shared with the client

    Delivery progress and deviations don't need to be compiled separately for client reporting.

Successful projects show in business results

  • More reliable deliveries

    Deviations and dependencies are visible earlier, so you can react to client promises before a delivery is put at risk.
