Why use resource management software?
Resource management will help your organization to access real-time resource visibility to plan and execute project schedules, increase productivity and balance workloads while having the flexibility to respond to resource issues faster and more effectively.
Ensure your resources are working on the right projects at the right time
Increase the accuracy of your forecasted schedules
Measure your actual cost and ROI
Resource allocation & financial forecasting
Visualize allocation of users (under/over resourced) and, optionally, reassign tasks to different users in bulk without having to go into tasks individually. By allocating users to tasks and associating costs with those users, labor costs to deliver projects can be calculated. From within your enterprise financials module, a single click will generate a forecast based on resources in the schedule. Associate each user with a default cost code and, optionally, amend that code on an individual task basis. Use this forecast plus a defined contingency and open risk value to see the estimate to completion (EAC) at both project and program level.
Benefits of resource management software
Plan
For a near-term view (0-6 months), Cora will provide you with task-level resourcing on a skilled and/or named user basis against project schedule. This facilitates leveraging of Cora dashboards, timesheet, expense and workflow (approvals process) tools for tracking task costs and underpinning task and project governance.
Execute
At a granular level, Cora has extensive task management capabilities, which will help your project managers track project activities on a day-to-day basis. Tasks are driven from the project schedule in the Gantt and WBS modules; at this level, the work can be assigned to resources to populate their dashboard view.
Track
A suite of email alerts notifies resources that they have been assigned, and can act in conjunction with users’ dashboards to provide prompts and reminders regarding late tasks or tasks due for completion shortly. Task level resourcing also feeds into the Cora Timesheet for tracking of actual effort associated with work performed and can be underpinned in terms of governance.
The Cora mobile app (Android- & iOS-enabled) allows team members to access and update key project activity from anywhere, anytime.
