The Project Management Institute defines a project as "a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result" (PMBOK guide, 3rd ed.). Because of the temporal nature of projects, it's important to ensure effective collaboration quickly and consistently through a project. GrandView helps you do that by integrating all of the necessary project-related communications. Some of the highlights include:
- Project Status Logs - This is a project-specific message log where all communications about the project take place. Important decisions are logged and acknowledgement by the team is required. This not only serves as a permanent record of the project's history, but also allows new project team members to get up to speed quickly.
- Project Schedule - A simple scheduling tool for outlining the major milestones of the project. Fully integrated into the GrandView Dashboard.
- Project Files - A secure and unlimited-sized directory of files specific to the project. Files can be shared, commented on, and even attached to Status Logs.
And GrandView doesn't just enable collaboration between employee team members, every customer team member has a unique login and can interact on the project. Try to do that with e-mail!
And we're not done yet. The GrandView Team is always investigating new ways to make project collaboration easy, effective, and efficient. We're consumed with finding new ways to document everything (and we do mean everything) that pertains to a project. What can we say? We live and breath this stuff!
