Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I recently took a new position and realized I needed a better way to manage the multitude of tasks related to multiple simultaneous projects. I wanted an online solution as I’m frequently traveling and wanted something where I didn’t need to start from scratch to create templates that were usable in my field. Both I and others I supervise use it.

Pros

  • templates
  • customer support.
  • onboarding
  • intuitive platform.

Cons

  • hope for expanded offerings. They seem to be in the works.

Return on Investment

  • less time spent “looking for things” it’s all there.
  • Having all the deliverables and timelines together has been great.
  • I don’t have the version with employee time tracking, but we are considering the upgrade.

Pros

  • Creating job schedules and milestones, which we provide to our clients as well as our vendors.
  • A one stop shop for downloading/uploading any job/site specific documents (issues, daily reports, photos, signoffs, etc.).
  • Real time communication with your clients. As soon as an issue has been raised within ProjectManager.com, everyone attached to that job with get an email notification of what has been communicated or what document has been uploaded.

Cons

  • Creating the schedule is probably the most "difficult" function to get used to. Linking each scope to one another and using different dates for each day can get a little confusing as it is relatively easy to break the links if you were to change the dates. If you have a schedule for a job that is 2 months long; if you revise your schedule to include a date change, if the link is broken it will not update the rest of the dates and remaining scopes. So you would have to figure out where the link has been broken within the schedule, or go through and change the remaining dates by hand.
