   Sharpening up your
   Scheduling

         
 
 
The key work for the perfect scheduling system is 'flexibility'.
Dear

To assess the flexibility of your current method of scheduling, have a quick check of some of Workamajig's most valued features:

 

Project templates - enable the selection of a profile to best fit a new project; from the simple repeated formats with key tasks and due dates to the more complex projects with the need to define levels of tasks within jobs, assign specific people, and manage changing timelines and budgets. Standard or repeated projects can also have an adjustable estimate attached to a template to speed up the project set-up.

 

Easy allocation of people, tasks, and hours - scheduled tasks can have specific people assigned and a nominated number of hours to complete, based on the availability of the team. A detailed view of the project schedule shows the whole picture in one screen. 

 

Communication of responsibilities - where your team get reminders and changes fed straight to their desktops so everyone is aware of current commitments and deadlines. From the calendar you can view your meetings, time entries, assigned to-dos, and tasks.

 

The Daily Feed - this feature allows you to view what has happened on a project each day. A dashboard widget allows you to keep tabs on the people you work with and see what they have done that day. This can be customised to give a quick recap by project or person to detail a day's events.  

 

Controlled Approval Process - allows the option to send a file for approval to a list of people in a specific order or to a number of people simultaneously, and specify if everyone needs to approve or just a nominated person.

 

Quick Gantt View - this chart in Flash illustrates the Plan Start and Plan Complete dates of tasks, which can be adjusted by dragging and dropping the task to a reviewed date, to show an adjusted timeline, should you need to make changes.

 

The Project Snapshot - summarises the current financial information of the project, allowing a user to see at a glance where the project stands in terms of budgeted versus actual time costs and billings. It also displays the to-date figures for projected profit and actual profit of the project.

 

If you are not enjoying these benefits you could be and you should be, and we would be delighted to show you through them in more detail. 

Make it happen


Please pick up the phone or drop us an email to book an online demo. A quick overview and check of suitability to your operation can be done in 20 to 30 minutes. That will be time well spent!



Sincerely,
Rondelle Taylor

Workamajig
beach2009

A web-based tracking and integrated project management software,Workamajig streamlines new business and sales leads, assigns staff to tasks,offers detailed project trafficking, and manages the whole project cycle through to accounting and financial reporting.
One of the strengths is a brilliant option for file reviews and approvals. This function can be used to route files or web URLs to the project team members for their feedback. The reviewer can approve or reject the item and the system will store the results in the project. Files can be sent out to several contacts at once, or in a selected order that progresses only when each stage of the contact list approves.

An interactive diary adds notes related to the project so they are stored as part of the project's history. This can be made visible to the client - or not - and can be emailed to the project team members when saved.

About Us
Our director, Rondelle Taylor, has had ten years experience as the financial controller of a medium sized agency, handling a wide variety of project types and sizes.
Recognising the problems of not having an adequate system for project management and profit tracking, and the need for the integration of separate systems (Excel, Word, and Myob etc.) led to the current consultancy role.
Maintaining a detailed analysis of available software solutions enables Software Downunder to recommend a system to best fit your needs.

You need the software solution that suits the size of your business and the complexity of your projects. If your projects are simple and you currently have fewer than 10 people handling them, your software requirements may be simple also.
