Cora's Government Project Management software solution brings together all the information required to make better-informed decisions, budgetary adjustments, service changes and project prioritisation.
The early identification of risks and issues and the analysis and evaluation of these and their potential to impact costs and delivery schedule are essential steps in any public sector project.
Most public sector PMOs are faced with the issue of too many projects to do, too much lobbying to have certain projects done and no data-driven method to demonstrate transparency when choosing a portfolio of projects to implement.
How many times have you heard of a public body project that has run out of control, one that is now overspent by twice the original budget and is still not under control?
The delivery of capital projects in compliance with planning and environmental legislation is quite challenging for public bodies in particular.
A badly run tendering process during the pre-construction phase, the construction phase or indeed the post-construction phase can lead to costly delays, legal challenges or even a stopped project.
The Project Controls module in Cora PPM focuses on the Cost Book and everything that feeds into that cost plan from original estimates, to forecast, actuals and commitments, estimate at completion, the value of work done (VoWD)
Governments – both central and national- and other public sector bodies have many key challenges when trying to deliver effective programs for their regions and countries.
They have a huge variance in the types of projects, are always intended to deliver a wide range of social and economic benefits, and are constantly under pressure to weigh up the quality of project deliverables against the pressure of demonstrating value for money.
Good governance processes throughout the lifecycle of capital project delivery are essential if cost overruns and delays to completion are to be avoided. Cora PPM is a centralized, proven, web-based project management and control system used in local and national governments worldwide to ensure the correct steps are taken to plan, run and close public projects. Its governance over schedule, risk, issues, changes, milestones, resourcing, finances and other project health items in an easy-to-use interface shows why it is the Number 1 choice for the public sector.
Public bodies face challenges in developing robust business cases for capital and other projects where the benefits are not necessarily quantifiable in monetary terms. They need to demonstrate that the best value for money is being achieved while meeting the project’s objectives. Cora PPM facilitates several insights into how public sector bodies can develop a robust business case that remains valid throughout the delivery of the project.
The stuff of nightmares for most public sector bodies is government enquiries. A typical enquiry can take six weeks to respond and has many potential trap doors. Was a similar question asked recently in a slightly different way? Will our answers be consistent? Are we correct in what we said? Did we follow the process correctly? What can we redact and what is OK to send out?
