Project Management Software Application: Features of the OMS (Objective Management System)
The OMS: Our in-house multitasking Management
software
The objective management system is an application that we developed at
IndiaWebDevelopers. We use it to manage our projects, beginning from the enquiry
handling stage to the quality assurance stage in any project. Performance
evaluations, tracking daily activities are some of the benefits of this
application.
Customer Enquiries: When a client enquiry
reaches a 'hot' stage, ready-made templates can be used in the estimation
of time involved, description of the scope of the project and the client
requirements.
Project Management: The moment a project
is created at the Requirements capture stage it is entered in the OMS
and the project manager receives a notification of the project created.
He is then able to assign tasks and resources
with the help of the project leaders. Workflows when added are approved
by the project manager. A project leader is able to track multiple releases
for the project, multiple objectives and milestones easily with the OMS.
Once tasks are assigned to individual resources, resources enter their
individual task times and completion dates in the OMS. When a task is
recorded as complete in the OMS, it is then sent to the Quality
Assurance team for checking.
Calendar:
A calendar is maintained for each individual and the user can add all
scheduled work into the OMS. So, when a new task is being assigned to
a user, the OMS gives the number of free hours that the user has on that
particular day and suggests a proper assignment time and date for the
task.
Performance Management: An added feature
of the OMS is a Human Resource element
that helps a human resource manager track employee performance. In a 360-degree
performance review, the peer review is carried out quite easily. The HR
manager adds the template and it is sent automatically to all employees
who can fill out the requisite details about their colleagues and submit
for analysis. The OMS uses a pre-established formula and calculates the
results that are displayed in a user-friendly manner to the HR manager.
It is most important to define the client's role in project management.
The client needs to understand the processes and responsibilities that
will be crucial for a smooth and effective client-developer relationship
and a successful final product. The client needs to agree on the communication
protocols during the project, the change
control procedures regarding scheduling and budgets. All said and
done, this is what will make for a satisfied client and a successful project.
