Overall Satisfaction with Mavenlink
It is being used as a project management tool to drive client implementations for professional services. It is being used to structure our project plans and governance, resource client implementations, and provide reporting to management. We have found Mavenlink provides a good means to collaborate across our professional services function. Its activity feed is useful to provide regular updates and keep everyone informed. The task tracker enables Project Managers to assign deliverables to the team and thus helps the team collaborate towards client deliverables. The Gantt helps communicate the delivery plan to the client and enables collaboration with client resources. Customized reports allow management to see the progress of projects and take strategic decisions. The resource planning module allows resourcing coordinators to plan resource assignment for client projects. Tracking of time through timesheets allows Project Managers to manage the project budget. Upstream and downstream integration with tools such as SalesForce and Netsuite enables the organization to coordinate amongst functions such as Sales and Finance. Overall the tool remains a one stop shop for our function and business to align on client implementations.
