Key Reasons to select Micro Planner X-Pert
- “Easy to learn and easy to use” - yet rich in depth and breadth of features for the professional Project Manager, Planner and Scheduler
- Offers the lowest 'Cost of Ownership' compared to other popular planning packages
- Enables a "networked' team of project managers to collaborate on large projects, without the cost of owning a full enterprise-wide programme management, or client/server installation – therefore the IT support costs are minimal.
- Used as an “entry level” application to gain valuable experience in managing successful projects. Then after a few years and as the Client's needs grow, MPI can offer a clear migration path to Enterprise Programme Management systems using trusted partners.
- Earned Value reports and graphs instantly available for “What If” scenario planning.
- The Network diagrams drawn as “activity on the arrow” clearly shows the critical paths to help the communications of your project to the project team and those affected by the project.
MPI believes that giving the local project manager instant access to X-Pert, is a key reason why his projects stand a higher probability of being successful.
MPI’s Services to Project Managers
Training on the Fundamentals of Project Management
We can start with the basics by answering the questions “What is A Project?” Then follow on by taking this through to the more sophisticated areas of Risk Management and soft skill training, Pert Estimating, Network Diagrams, Gantt Charts, Earned Value reporting and beyond.
The provision of this training is best carried out in the classroom utilising carefully designed case studies and exercises.
At MPI we recognise that any training needs to be put into practice straight away. We can follow through with ongoing refresher sessions over lunch times or early evenings to suit your delegates and organisations. We can also provide desk-side support to individuals as they put the classroom based learning into practice.
Reviewing Significant Mile-Stones
The end of each project can be a difficult time. Experience shows that valuable lessons can be learnt for future ventures and these are often missed. MPI brings their extensive years of facilitating group sessions, to bring out the most significant “Lessons Learnt” for applying to the next project. We don’t just focus upon the bad but also recognise that the good is worth capturing too. After all, if it went well last time maybe it’s worth doing the same next.
Project Governance
A successful project is like a marriage between the organisation and the project team. Both must play their vital and separate roles. The Project Manager must be aware of the organisation’s objectives, and put in place procedures and strategies to ensure that these objectives will be delivered. Similarly the organisation must ensure that the project manager is supported with correct and adequate resources and information. Once this partnership has been recognised and enacted, then we see a higher probability of projects succeeding and delivering the sought after benefits to the organisation.
