"We start all kinds of projects but have trouble
finishing them."
If you have a problem
completing projects, 1) don't start more projects than you can
finish successfully and 2) monitor portfolio progress with
achievability in mind.
"I don't have a clue what people in my organization are
working on."
Ask the people who know - the
line managers of the individual contributors.
"We have made major investments in tools and training. Why
are we still having so much trouble executing?"
You aren't doing anything wrong.
You just aren't doing one big thing right!

Reporting has historically been a challenge for Project
Portfolio Management (PPM) systems. Canned reports are often
inadequate and do not account for user-defined fields. User-defined
reporting capabilities are typically limited. And third party
business intelligence tools are expensive and require additional
hardware. Companies are left to resort to high-priced custom
reporting consultants, or exporting data to Excel and spending
weeks manipulating and formatting the data.
Read on to learn how PDWare release 6.0 puts flexible, custom
PPM reporting within everyone's grasp!

We have talked a lot about communicating the functionality
of new and future features in the PDWare products. I'm happy to
announce that we will finally deliver on our promise with our
PDWare DevLogs series. In each post we will cover newly available
or soon to be available features on which we've been working. We
encourage you to comment and give us any feedback you might have.
Yes, even criticism.
PDWare Pulse was introduced during the Resource Planning Summit
2012, and is a new event notification feature available in PDWare
iTeam v6.0 with Messenger. The idea for the development of
PDWare Pulse came from our marketing department after surveying a
lot of the current iTeam users. Most of you wanted to have a
notification system that won't send out emails on every possible
event (something you could do with PDWare Messenger) but inform the
users of specific events from within iTeam. Another request was
that a user should be able to control which notifications to
enable/disable to avoid high right level users from being flooded
with multiple events they don't always care about.
PDWare Pulse was designed using the current PDWare Messenger,
our Windows service based email notification engine, as the backend
that generates and sends iTeam notifications to
users.
