System Processes and Services
Personal Time Management
The output of your organization is directly related to how effectively people spend their time.

CCM provides prioritization tools to help your people make the best use of their workdays.

  • Individual activities such as issues can have intrinsic priorities assigned from a system wide scale.

  • Each project manager has a "Project Priorities Worksheet" which allow them to rank every commitment and adjust those priorities at any time.

  • Every user has a "Personal Priorities Worksheet" showing everything assigned them. From this worksheet, they can see the both the intrinsic and project manager assigned priorities as well as the due dates. Using this information and they can rank activities into the sequence that works best for them.
    • Project Process Management

You define the required approval points. The system will actively assist each project leader to achieve compliance.
