Help your project teams get more done, together
Delivering a successful project that meets stakeholder expectations depends on having all your ducks in a row. As the project manager, you must ensure you have the right resources on the team, and that everyone's aligned with the project scope and goals. You have to make sure team members:
- Have access to the information they need
- Can collaborate effectively and efficiently
- Are completing their assigned tasks in line with the project schedule
But without a project management tool or software solution, you could find yourself struggling with managing all the resources and keeping the project on track. The more complex the project, the more the challenges build up if team members are:
- Exchanging multiple versions of files using email
- Having side discussions that the rest of the team isn't party to
- Making decisions that involve lengthy email chains
Efficiently managing a project and completing it on time and to budget is a collaborative effort that requires constant, effective communication — which is where a project management software solution comes into its own.
Modernise teamwork, make more happen
A software solution that provides you with a collaborative hub will support your project planning and management process, and help you deliver successful project outcomes. When your team can communicate and collaborate with ease, regardless of location or device, you'll do away with the inefficiencies of email chains and side conversations.
Microsoft Teams, included as part of
Microsoft 365, integrates meetings, messaging and calling services into a secure hub. Microsoft Teams features help you to assign and track project tasks; manage projects and the people working on them; and make it easy to stick to deadlines by integrating Outlook calendars. The solution provides your team with:
- The power and ease of use of familiar Microsoft apps
- Simplified sharing, editing, and co-authoring of files (including Excel, Word and PowerPoint) from the Microsoft Teams platform
- Whiteboarding capability for brainstorming
- Easy integration into Teams of additional Microsoft features and functions — such as Planner, that lets you create plans, add tasks to plans, set and update task progress and much more, directly from Teams
- The ability to record, store, and transcribe calls and voice mails for easy sharing and replay
You'll be able to keep all your project resources — including chats, documents, voice mails and files created before, during and after meetings — in one place, and make them available to everyone on the team. Microsoft Teams protects your project information with data encryption at rest and in transit.
