Project Management Software - Tracker Highlights: Why should you choose it?

A1 Tracker provides a foundation for tracking and maintaining project management software data online at the lowest level possible on a project. Best project management practices that ensure the most successful project involves two factors: accountability for human behavior and a tool from which to base sound decisions. A1 Tracker for project management assumes that a project manager or a business will take full advantage of the available project management software features and in doing so hold all project resources and contract parties accountable for tracking project requirements, tracking project time, and controlling project costs.


Below are situations which often lead to unnecessary increases in project time and project costs that the Tracker helps alleviate:

• A1 Tracker allows for online project collaboration, where resources and customers that are located in more than one physical location to work and communicate efficiently.

• A1 Tracker allows customers the ability to review documents online and answer questions at any time without asking the project manger for design clarifications already documented in writing.

• A1 Tracker allows new project resources having limited background knowledge of the project to be added any time throughout the project life cycle and therefore inherit the entire project knowledge base. The new incoming resource would review the  project portfolio and online tasks without sifting through forwarded emails or emails located in another (former) resource’s inbox or stacks of paper.

• Both a project manager and a project resource can readily see that the resource’s online budget allocation does not allow for the resource to perform the necessary remaining work scheduled for completion which forces the resource to contact the project manager to discuss the overrun before it occurs and plan accordingly.

• A customer or resource can submit online change order requests and that change order will be documented with 
  accompanying online change order approvals and sign-offs.

• As users add information to the Tracker all of the appropriate parties may receive automatic email notifications. This automatic email notification feature prevents communication from being sent to the wrong parties or from not being sent to the necessary parties.

• A1 Tracker has a project portfolio management system that can be broken up into sub projects, task phases, and sub tasks that can be assigned to one or more project resource. In addition each sub project, phase, and task can be independently tracked for online budget constraints and online cost control.

• A project manger has online time tracking, labor costs, and project materials tracking on specific tasks, both billable time and non-billable time and materials, for example, to compare overhead costs to production costs.

• A project manager can track projects online using different commercial terms that may be task specific, such as fixed bid, 
  time and materials, or lump sum.

• A project manager can track and maintain work hours billed to customers and hours paid to project resources, whether employees, subcontractors, vendors, or material suppliers.

• A project manager can run profit & loss reports by customer, project, work activity, and task.
