The seamless integration of project and documentation management was a vital factor in our choice of Project Office.Jan Poppendieck, Head of the ICE 3 redesign project at DB Fernverkehr AG
Project Office
Project management software for successful engineering
Project management with PLM and industry focus
Engineering projects are interdisciplinary, tightly scheduled and technically challenging. This complexity requires project management software that provides teams across disciplines with consistent product data as well as full integration into industrial application contexts such as PLM or industry solutions. That's what Project Office stands for. The software improves collaboration in global project and program organizations and is easily adaptable and expandable thanks to the open Elements platform. It links all technical, scheduling and organizational information and combines agile teamwork with classic project planning. As a result, you realize your development projects faster and more cost-efficiently.
Benefits
- Project management as an organic part of the product lifecycle management or industry solutions
- Standardized infrastructure for project and product data
- Clear planning and efficient implementation
- Improved collaboration to increase process quality and accelerate project realization
- Holistic project controlling for efficient management
- Choosing and combining classic or agile methods as required
Standardized infrastructure for project and product data
Project Office creates a unified project landscape with standardized tools and information. Your teams use a shared infrastructure including multi-project and program support, integrated document management, and a differentiated roles and rights system. Access to product data in the project context is a conceptual cornerstone of Project Office. The immediate availability of work objects such as checklists, drawings, or CAD models ensures transparency and a focus on results.

Clear planning and efficient implementation
With Project Office, you can plan and coordinate tasks across numerous projects. Project leaders define a clear project structure of tasks, assign these to project roles and develop the process and schedule planning from this. You manage detailed tasks over the entire duration of the project as open points and measures in the context of the project tasks. This efficient task management allows you to keep project structures lean and still manage all details accurately. Project members automatically see their tasks in their personal cockpit and have direct access to CAD models, documents, and information.

Increase process quality and accelerate project realization
Project Office promotes efficient teamwork. The software provides all current project and product data. Digital workflows and templates ensure secure processes and provide information about upcoming tasks. With the Activity Stream, your employees can discuss tasks, CAD models, or documents directly and coordinate without leaving the work context or the system. Transparent communication improves collaboration within the team and coordination between departments. Discussion results are automatically documented in the specialized context.

Project controlling for efficient management
Effective project controlling is based on deadlines, costs, and the quality of work results. With checklists of tasks or milestones and their link to results, completion can be linked to predefined result criteria or the completion of review workflows. In Project Costing, you define budgets and cost plans and regularly compare these with the actual costs. Project dashboards and multi-project views provide you with an overview of individual projects and the entire portfolio. Early warning indicators allow you to recognize deviations early on and take targeted corrective action. Configurable KPIs round off the holistic project controlling.

Select and combine methods as required
Corporate organisations often require both classic framework planning for multi-project monitoring as well as agile procedures within the individual projects. Your project leaders carry out the framework planning with milestones, checklists, and Gantt charts and create planning specifications for the teams. Meanwhile, your project teams work self-organized in order to implement tasks efficiently. Agile tools such as task boards and activity streams provide decentralised support for employees in their areas of responsibility by enabling them to process tasks quickly and easily exchange information in context.
