The skill matrix helps project managers answer a crucial question: Who has the skills needed to undertake the project\u2019s tasks? Assigning work based purely on availability and job title can lead to underestimating operational challenges, the need for mentoring, and reliance on specific individuals. Understanding the team\u2019s capabilities, on the other hand, helps you make… <\/p><\/div>\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Twproject is a highly flexible project management tool for teams of all sizes.<\/p>\n
Every IT team deals with two streams of work. On one side there are projects, with phases, deadlines and estimates; on the other a constant stream of tickets: bugs reported by customers, requests from colleagues, small changes, urgent checks. The first can be planned, the second arrives without warning and, if it isn’t channelled, disrupts… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
Often, in an engineering firm when a client calls to enquire about the status of their report, the answer isn\u2019t immediate. The person answering has to first work out who it was assigned to, then search through the relevant emails, and perhaps ask a colleague who might know more. In the meantime, the client is… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
A business continuity plan helps protect projects when a supplier stops delivering, an IT system goes down, or a key employee suddenly leaves your team. Even a single event can compromise weeks of work and jeopardize deadlines, budgets, and customer relationships. A business continuity plan helps organizations prepare for these situations by outlining how to… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
A cost overrun means exceeding the projected cost to complete a project. Often, cost overruns become apparent only after the budget has already been affected, but their causes build up long before that: optimistic estimates, added tasks, delays, and unanticipated work hours. For a project manager, the problem isn\u2019t just spending more than expected. Cost… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
Before giving the go-ahead to a project, an engineering firm must answer a question that is far from straightforward: Is this project truly sustainable, given the resources and timeframe we have available? This is precisely what the feasibility study and risk analysis are for: to prevent a project from getting off the ground on shaky… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
Do you remember the little teaser we ended our article on release 7.2 with? We promised you that the artificial intelligence in Twproject would soon go beyond the support chatbot, going on to interact with your project data. With release 7.3.001, that promise becomes a reality. But that\u2019s not the only major new feature. This… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
Project monitoring is a key step in ensuring a project runs smoothly and stays on track with timelines, resources, budget, and expected outcomes. It\u2019s not just about checking whether tasks are completed; it’s about having a reliable system that lets you track progress at any time and act quickly when things deviate from the original… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
In an engineering firm, the quality of decisions depends largely on the quality of the information on which they are based: an incomplete, delayed or manually compiled report almost always arrives too late to be of any real use, and those who have to decide whether to slow down a phase, reallocate a resource or… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
If you work in an engineering team , this situation may sound familiar to you: a resource has some spare time this week \u2192 The project manager assigns them to the delayed phase \u2192 Two days later, they discover that that phase required a skill which that person does not have \u2192 the work has… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
The punch list is arguably one of the most practical tools in a project manager\u2019s toolbox during the closing phase of a project, when their job is to make sure that everything promised has actually been completed to the highest standards. It is a complete list of discrepancies, unfinished work, or flaws found during the… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
Workloads in a technical office are often the ultimate indicator of an engineering company’s health: when they are not distributed thoughtfully, they quickly snowball into project delays, rushed drawings, and superficial reviews\u2014all of which directly impact project quality and safety. In the technical offices of engineering and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction), this problem becomes… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li>
Imagine a business project involving the engineering department, production, administration and an overseas branch. The engineering department works standard shifts, production works three shifts, administration works reduced hours on Fridays, and the branch observes different public holidays. How do you calculate actual lead times? How do you know if a resource is actually available when… <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n1<\/span>\n2<\/a>\n3<\/a>\n…<\/span>\n68<\/a><\/div>\n\nNext Page<\/a>\n<\/nav>\n\n\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Project management trends & insights.Latest product updates Subscribe Try Twproject Free for 15 days!
