Needed: More Visibility and Accountability

Before Whizible™ -- Out of sight, out of mind. When projects are executed at diverse locations in different countries, project sponsors rarely get to see the project teams. It’s then a challenge to show the progress made and value being delivered by the project. Simon reports to CIO of a medium-size firm in Arizona. They have just outsourced the support and maintenance of some of their core applications to India and the Philippines. Simon and many of his colleagues now spend long hours in the office following up with offshore teams for status reports. By the time they compile the reports and submit to their CIO, the picture has already changed.

After Whizible™ -- Whizible for Initiatives ensures project visibility in real time through a set of dashboards. These dashboards are wired into the project database and get updated with every project transaction – i.e., when tasks are completed, milestones are achieved or issues are closed.

Coupled with powerful reporting tools, these dashboards eliminate the need for status reports as well as their consolidation by project portfolios.

With an ability to baseline project plans, project sponsors can ensure that status reporting is strictly against those baselines and that any changes to plan are approved prior to execution.
