• Teaches best practice as a by-product to both inexperienced and experienced Project Managers

Integrated

• Substantially reduces the duplication of data entry, reporting and reconciliations needed when using multiple tools
• Flexibility for the project management team to decide which system functionality is most appropriate to and that they will use on any given project
• This ensures that a "one size fits all approach" is not inflicted on all projects
• Small projects do not require (nor can they support from a time and cost perspective) many of the processes that a large project requires
• PM^Complete™ comes with a complete and integrated project methodology to guide you through HOW to perform the activities (eg, HOW to perform Stakeholder Assessments)
• Can be used on simple through to very complex projects
• Can be used where:
  • Project Manager is the only System User
  • Project Manager plus assistant are the only System Users
  • Project Manager plus team are all System Users
  • Project Manager plus team plus Client's team are all System Users
  • Project Manager plus team plus Client's team plus subcontractor's team are all System Users

Miscellaneous Features

• Builds up over time, an historical repository of project-related data
• This leads to being able to learn from past successes and failings as well being used:
  • For comparison at estimating time
  • For re-usable project collateral and artefacts
  • Reducing the "re-inventing of the wheel"
