Project managers can store and view project-related documents in a central repository.

Allocate project resources to the job and review employee availability for project work based on skillset and project resource requirements (timeline and skillset).

Real-time analytics allows project-based team members to manage projects with up-to-date, accurate information – helping keep track of budgets and avoiding costly project overruns. Create dashboards for project performance reviews and share relevant data with project stakeholders. View data in graphical and table formats and quickly add additional rows and columns for a more complete project analysis.

The core of any requirement for project-based businesses is the ability to enter and report on information by project. The project management module in SAP Business ByDesign allows the user to define tasks, phases and milestones, schedule timelines, plan work and create project cost estimates. Use project templates to guide user activities with a comprehensive work breakdown structure. Project structures can be viewed in a Gantt chart or a Work Breakdown Structure. Team and staffing project requirements and committed work per team member help with resource planning and allocation of scarce resources to the most critical and time important projects. Third-party services can be “purchased” and allocated directly to a project. Project revenues can be easily tracked (sales quote – sales order – project allocation – project invoice request – customer invoice – payment) using the document flow in SAP Business ByDesign.
