Project Registers
Introduction
Project registers are sometimes known as "logs". They allow Project Managers to monitor and control the most common aspects that need tracking on projects.
Benefits
PMComplete™ provides a complete suite of registers so that you don't need to build them yourself (or cobble together multiple disparate systems) thereby allowing you to concentrate on managing your project(s) and having a single source of truth.
PMComplete™ takes the commonly-held view "if you don't measure it, then you can't manage it". By providing tools that allow you to monitor and control EVERYTHING that moves on a project, PMComplete™ allows you to concentrate on the important aspects of your project.
PMComplete™ project registers make it easy to simplify your project's Project Management Plan (PMP).
After recording data in PMComplete™ project registers you can then utilise the many sophisticated project analytics (eg, performing an analysis of your project schedule) that are also included in PMComplete™. The payback on the effort required to enter the data for Project Managers and project team members is the ability to analyse the data, present it in professional-looking reports and charts as well as monitor and keep control of their projects.
PMComplete™ assists you to be in control of your projects.
Using PMComplete™ demonstrates to others (Clients, Project Sponsors, your manager, Project Steering Committees, etc) that you are in control of your project(s).
PMComplete™ forces a best practice approach to the management of each project register.
This results in reducing the time spent by Project Managers and project team members in reporting project status as well as providing a consistent suite of reports across all projects, programmes and portfolios.
RoadMap
Click on the following button to display a RoadMap that shows the complete project registers functionality of PMComplete™.When signed into PMComplete™ (but not when you click here) you can drill-down on the red branches of the RoadMap to display and maintain the underlying project data.
The related PMI® PMBOK® Knowledge Area is shown in parentheses for each of the project registers.
Usage
Each of the project registers is freestanding. This means that you can pick and choose which registers you will use on any specific project. The usage of all registers is optional (ie, you don't HAVE to use any of them on any specific project). You don't need to decide which registers to use during project initiation, but can defer these decisions until the need arises during the course of your project.
All project registers are displayed on the Project Dashboard. This allows you to display all project data at-a-glance. The Project Dashboard can be displayed at any time with just a single click.
You can create a new project in less than 5 minutes.
You can quickly and easily import pre-existing registers (eg, held in Microsoft® Excel and Microsoft® Word) into PMComplete™ through its sophisticated data exchange capabilities.
Licensing
When you sign-up to use PMComplete™ you immediately have unlimited access to all of the 105+ project registers for the one low monthly fee. Each month is billed in advance.
Licensing is on a rolling monthly basis. There is no minimum contract period.
Licensing is on a per-user basis. Multiple users can have access to the same workgroup of projects (and, thus, their project registers).
