It takes more than just a folder on SharePoint
We’ve all been there. Projects generate large amounts of data, planning documents, and documentation. A folder structure is quickly set up, and everyone involved in the project familiarizes themselves with it. In most cases, the project is organized within this structure—typically, a SharePoint site with a folder-based structure is established.
Later in the project, plan statuses are updated repeatedly, the structure is adjusted multiple times, and in the end, people find themselves asking: Which plan is the approved one? When was the plan approved? Has anyone edited it? Is the plan shown here actually the correct one?
Who approved the plan? Is construction currently proceeding according to the correct plans?
The result: Additional effort is required for follow-up questions, coordination, and alignment. Things get complicated when a project team member leaves and all communication took place via email. In that case, it’s nearly impossible to pick up where the last work left off—and the process starts all over again.
The result: Delays for your own teams that impact the entire project.
The solution:
A PKMS—short for Project Communication and Management System. These systems, also known as CDEs (Common Data Environments), enable project participants to access all documentation, planning, and communication related to a project—regardless of operating system, since they are web-based.
Key features include:
- Document management
- Plan management
- Schedule review functions
- Workflows for all your approvals and
processes - All communication related to the project
