Public sector

Less administrative work, verifiable productivity

In public-sector projects a significant share of project leadership time goes into collecting information, reporting and relaying the situation to different actors. ProjectBuddy reduces manual administrative work and forms a shared, continuously updated picture of the projects.

“The risk management plan is so good that he has nothing to add or remove, even though he usually always does.”

Do you recognise these?

  • Information is collected for reporting

    The project's status exists in different systems, documents and people's heads. The project manager spends time re-collecting it into a report for management.

  • The same information is written many times

    The project plan, status report, steering group material and portfolio reporting contain the same information in different forms.

  • Management's picture of the situation arrives late

    When reporting is monthly, a problem may already have materialised before the information reaches the decision-maker.

  • Impact is hard to demonstrate

    A project can finish as planned, but the link to the original goals, metrics and intended benefit easily gets lost during execution.

A project manager's job is not to produce reports. It is to lead the project.

ProjectBuddy automates and reduces the administrative work of project leadership so that the project manager's time can go into solving problems, preparing decisions and leading people.

  • Less collecting of information
  • A more up-to-date picture of the situation
  • More time for leading

One set of data. Many uses.

When the project's goals, tasks, schedule, costs, risks and decisions live in the same environment, the same information doesn't need to be collected again for every report.

  1. Lead with the information that already exists

    The picture of the situation updates from the project's own work, not from a separate reporting round.

  2. Standardise how projects are led

    Every project can be assessed with the same goals, health data, risks and quality criteria.

  3. Keep decisions connected to goals

    Management sees which goal a project delivers, where it stands now and where a decision is needed.

AI supports leadership

Less writing.More leading.

ProjectBuddy uses AI to help prepare, for example, goals, tasks, risks, project plans and reporting. The project's information stays in one place and under human review.

What if the plan has to change?

With ProjectBuddy you can use AI to build alternative scenarios to support decision-making.

  • Which projects should be postponed if next year's development budget shrinks by 10%?

  • What happens if a critical expert resource is reduced?

  • Which projects best support the strategic goals with the capacity available?

Decision-making doesn't have to see only the current state. The alternatives can be made visible too.

Make productivity visible

  • Fewer administrative hours

    Track how much manual project management and reporting work can be reduced.

  • Faster reaction

    Deviations and decision needs surface without a separate reporting round.

  • Better transparency

    Management sees the status, costs, risks and link to goals of the projects from the same whole.

Productivity doesn't mean more reporting.It means more impact for the same amount of work.
