For Project Management Systems, the development of the Cost/Schedule Status Reporting (C/SSR) system has been a reflection of the need for the development of standardized methods for cost/schedule performance reporting on independent projects where project managers had been expected to establish cost/schedule information requirements as they saw fit.
This resulted in inconsistent data outputs in the management of these projects.
The lack of standard formats for Cost/Schedule Status Reporting has led to a proliferation of project unique reports, where the application of more complicated systems and reporting requirements were developed to be operated, and administered, with or within larger automated accounting systems. PMPlan is a full service PC based application enabling the project manager to plan, revise or update, status, and generate the data for simular projects, consistently.
PMPlan is an integrated cost and schedule project control system that deals with internal management needs, and contractual data items, that may also require Earned Value Analysis and Reporting on both cost and schedule.
PMPlan provides for the integration of the WBS and resources in a manner that permits identification of responsibilities, cost account selection, work authorization, scheduling with precedence logic networking, resource management, budgeting, cost accumulation, cost and schedule performance measurement, variance analysis, and reporting and change control for WBS and Organizational elements. |
