1824.0. "NEED PROGRAM/PROJECT MGMT RPTNG SYSTEM" by PENUTS::BROUILLETTE (PHIL) Fri Mar 27 1992 11:57

NEED COMMON SYSTEM FOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS PROGRAM/PROJECT REPORTING

I need a system designed to capture data about program/projects for 
management reporting purposes.  The type of data should include program/project
descriptions, activities, accomplishments, planned work, issues/concern, and
milestone/deliverables.  

I am not looking for a classical project management system employing PERT,GANTT,
and scheduling.

The system should allow data to be entered only once for use by all reporting. 
Updates should be entered by the person responsible.  

There once exited a VAX/VMS system similar to this requirement in the Field 
Service Organization called PMT (Program Management Tool) Field tested in 1987, 
however, I have not been able to locate it.

I would appreciate any help in this area.

Thanks,

Phil

	Re: <<< Note 1824.0 by PENUTS::BROUILLETTE "PHIL" >>> Phil, I just create a NOTES conference to hold and organize the raw material until I need it in a different format. I invite other members of the team to introduce their comments. I know its not well formatted, but its public and easily added to. Dick
1824.2	Project Tracking Reporting	CSSE::KRZYSZTOW		`Fri Mar 27 1992 14:18`	6
	Phil, I am aware of a project tracking tool that is being developed by Hugh Gardner in OGO. Try giving him a call or write to him on CSSE::HGARDNER. He may have what you are looking for.. jjk
1824.3	DECplan	AKOCOA::DROMANO	TDU V3.0 Development	`Sat Mar 28 1992 14:45`	11
	Have you looked at DECplan? Can't get much more standardized than a real product. From what I understand DECplan is a very good project management tool that handles planning, reporting, time management, mult-project integration and allows people to update the status. Check it out. Don P.S. DECplan does do GANTT charts, etc... since it is designed as a project management tool... however you have the option of only using parts of the product that you wish.
1824.4		CSSEDB::MOY	Michael G. Moy, Rdb/VMS Engineering	`Sat Mar 28 1992 23:56`	8
	Chris Schuetz on csse32::schuetz wrote PMT and it is still in use for some of the Engineering support groups. I used it when I was in support and it was great. It runs on Rally and Rdb/VMS on VAX/VMS systems. It's also pretty easy to do adhoc reports if you know Rally or you can create reports using Datatrieve to the Rdb/VMS database. michael moy
