Cora Project Execution

The integrated master schedule is the heartbeat of the Cora platform. Everything is linked to the Gantt and where there is movement in any element you can see the impact in real-time on cost, schedule and risk. Its Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Task Management is agnostic to the project methodology used.

Capture original cost estimates and forecast out by labor, materials, sub-contractors and contingency (broken down by cost-code). The capability allows your project managers to track actuals and commitments from your finance system and forecast the estimate to completion (ETC) and estimate at completion (EAC), month by month.

Digitize your project RAID logs that are commonly tracked in Excel or point solutions and connect them to the integrated schedule. Surface the information you need in dashboard widgets for reporting at the project, program and portfolio level. Extend the use of registers to include RAID management, lessons learned, document distribution and ideation. 

Track changes to project costs in real time and streamline governance and approvals for changes. Capture additional change order revenue that would otherwise be lost and improve project margins. The cost of change plugs directly into the financial control capability and baseline control, providing a clear estimate to completion (ETC) at an early stage in the project.

Cora’s workflow management functionality allows you to automate tasks, processes, and activities in the planning, execution and monitoring of projects. The highly configurable workflows (with approvals, notifications, audit trail and conditions) streamline and optimize your work processes, improving collaboration. 

The time and expenses functionality allows you to track hours worked, and record expenses, so you can monitor billable hours and improve your budget management. Cora includes a simplified user interface (through web or mobile app), improving adoption of timesheets and expenses. Cora can also integrate with your existing systems. 

Get complete control and governance across your programs and safeguard your enterprise with secure document management, logical workflows and automatically generated audit trails. Stage gates and approvals align to process, governance requirements and quality checks. These are highly configurable based on project type, value or other criteria. 

Manage resource approvals, visualize potential bottlenecks and reduce project delays. You will no longer miss milestones due to tasks that are not assigned to key team members, as key milestones and deliverables are staffed and added intelligently. Project resourcing feeds the enterprise resource and capacity planning for scenario and what-if analysis. 

Real-time dashboard surface metrics and insights on projects and programs with everything users need in one place. Project data rolls up to portfolio reports for senior management. Risk, issue and opportunity reporting is consolidated and dynamically updated so you can track progress and make decisions based on accurate and comprehensive information.
