Matrix Planning
 
Advanced Team Building with Matrix Planning
Today most companies are running and managing projects. In some industries like consulting, companies are very project oriented, and the complete organization is project oriented. However, it isn’t the case for majority of companies. Most of them have a hierarchical business organization which is not project oriented. The companies are organized in business units, departments, etc. The result of such an organizational structure is that resources do not belong to project manager but to the business unit, department, etc. This means that project managers have to communicate and negotiate with team managers, to be able to assign resources to projects.

This is why Genius Planner interactive Gantt chart supports project plans as well as team plans. Genius Planner is the graphical planning tool of choice for the Project Manager as well as for the team manager.

Thanks to its powerful configurable workflow engine, Genius Project4Domino also supports the process of reviewing resource reservations between the project managers and team leaders.
We fully realize that each company has different processes and rules; this is why this process as well as any process supported by Genius Project4Domino, is fully configurable without programming. Amazing workflow, amazingly easy.


A better way of selecting resources
In some projects, project managers just request a job to be done by a team or departments, he or she has no interest in who is performing the job. With the combination of two great features in Genius Project4Domino, generic resources and matrix planning; the project manager can assign the task to one generic resource corresponding to a team or a department and let the team manager decide who is the best available resource with right skills to perform the task at hand.

Better team allocation thru advanced resource management functions in
Genius Project4Domino provide easy to understand team workload charts and views to manage team allocation and avoid over utilization. With Genius, you can anticipate resource allocation conflicts, as well as the need for new talent and skills.
