4 Typical PPM Solution aims to support DECISION MAKING Project Alignment with Business Objectives Portfolio Directors, Resource Managers, Stakeholders Decision Making Delivery & Resource Management Programme Mangers, Line Managers, PMO Governance, Standards and Controls Project Delivery & Collaboration Project Managers, Team Members Schedule Management, Cost Management, Collaboration

5 Obvious Benefits of PPM Solution (simple to justify ROI! for your business case!) Reduce administration overhead of Project delivery communications Project Managers and Resource Managers have the information available to them to build and deliver on plans and reporting (This could be assumed a 20% of PM and PMO time saving). Reduce Burdon on Project Managers starting new projects Building out templates and communication plans as Project Sites (with security) are created automatically (This could be assumed 5 days per project). Reduce reporting time. Reports will a by-product of people doing their job (updating plans and resources) rather than a bureaucratic overhead (This could be assumed 20% of PM and PMO time saving) Reduce Overruns and Mitigate Risk. Building better plans, managing risk and sharing live data reduces the risk of failure and the cost of overruns (Save money, reputation)

6 Benefits of PPM Solution Platform (cloud based edision365 projects recommended!) On Demand tried & tested solid infrastructure. *Join 100 s of millions of other users on Industry Standard Office365 Tools Easy User Adoption Familiar tools with an intuitive interface means that there is a lower costs of change (training/support) You will not need to do this again! By moving to a cloud solution (an evergreen, always updated PPM solution), the platform will continue to evolve without you having to plan expensive upgrades or migrations ever again *Based on Project Online (Office365) Solution

7 But this does not cover why people buy typical pains are Different versions of status (Project Status, Team Status, Board Status) Countless spreadsheets and versions of schedules (Is this the live plan? Real costs?) No consistent resource planning (Project Resource Schedule vs Resource Planning spreadsheet!) Untrusted Data (Not using data, means no one values the data) Duplication of work within and across functions (Costs duplicated, Project and Programme overlaps) These do not get resolved by simply buying a tool!

8 Outcomes that people need Ability to make informed decision on projects (Project Select, Reschedule, Kill) Ability to make informed decision on resource (Resource Hire, replace, priority) Ability to make informed decision on Dependencies (Hold, Reschedule, Impact direction) Ability to access Real Time data with confidence These are all driven by single source of truth
