You can save report parameters to facilitate re-running a report on a regular basis (eg, every day, week, month or year).
You can maintain details about your planned project meetings together with their planned participants. Reviews may entail physical meetings or may be virtual. You can monitor the action items arising from these meetings as well as the minutes. Through the document management system you can send requests for virtual reviews of document work products and then track the responses as well as their timeliness.
You can maintain details about both the lessons learnt and suggestions from these review meetings (and other sources).
You can maintain all special performance indicators/metrics/SLAs (ie, those not automatically kept by PMComplete™) and then produce a chart of them.
You can maintain details about all project seminars, workshops, exhibitions and conferences together with their participants.
You can create a project library and maintain all assets in that library (eg, books, equipment, CD-ROMs, etc) together with all borrowings from the library.
You can create project newsletters and use the Newsletter Management module of PMComplete™ to distribute them.
You can create project-based surveys and use the Survey Management module of PMComplete™ to maintain participant responses and analyse them.
You can define special reporting periods using the Calendar Period module of PMComplete™.
You can maintain both weekly progress and monthly status reports for projects. The monthly status report allows you to capture a satisfaction rating for each major stakeholder group. This satisfaction rating can then be charted.
You can maintain details about and monitor your Sponsor's/Client's satisfaction, your manager's satisfaction, your company's satisfaction, your team's satisfaction and your vendor's satisfaction.
You can maintain details about any ad hoc project communications.
You can keep a project journal in which you can maintain time-based notes about your project.
You can print a wide variety of project status reports and charts that will keep your project's stakeholders informed.
