Tackling complexity in public projects

Public sector projects are known for their scale and complexity. Effective project management and timely stakeholder communication is important to meet public needs, stay accountable and use taxpayer money responsibly.

Align projects with strategic objectives

By linking projects to strategy and resource capacity, the organisation can focus on the right projects. This prevents scope creep and helps setting realistic timelines. Align strategy with execution to achieve tangible results, with Strategic Portfolio Management.

Match available resources with demand

Like many others, public organizations are also affected by labor market shortages. As a result, they face challenges to find sufficient resource capacity to complete projects on time.

Having better insights into strategic goals and capacity on the short and long-term is a must-have. These insights enable teams to better allocate resources by focusing on the right projects and programs. Plus, implementing smart timekeeping helps track how much time is spent on what, so you can plan ahead and schedule resources more effectively.

Streamline collaboration across teams

Effective collaboration during project execution can be challenging. Project members coming from different teams are used to different project methodologies and tools, which can lead to confusion.

Improve project collaboration and save time using a shared project management environment that can be fully customized to suits the needs and processes of the organization. Work smarter, with proven best practices and built-in AI capabilities. And benefit from a tool with close integrations with Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint and agile tools like Jira and Azure DevOps.

Managing stakeholders and priorities

Public initiatives typically have many stakeholders, like citizens, businesses, partner organizations and agencies. Balancing the diverse interests and expectations of these stakeholders can be quite a challenge.

Effective communication and frequent reporting help set the right expectations with your stakeholders. Closely monitor budgets, resources and progress of your projects, and share the results with your stakeholders. Create an enterprise dashboard for key stakeholders to visualize the benefits on the portfolio level. Save time by automating status reporting, and keep grip on progress, resources and financials.
