"By being able to answer the question 'what did your people do last year' – allows us to be audit ready at any time which is important as a government agency."

- Assistant Director of Programming Information Services

Why PI®

Prior to Project Insight, the assistant director and his team were creating schedules within Excel spreadsheets. All the manual work resulted often resulted in errors and outdated schedules being emailed. The assistant director wanted to be able to easily build out schedules with more integrity and accuracy. Many times, the spreadsheets were not being updated and sent with the latest information. The team needed a way to see the overall project status in real-time.

  • Creating projects in Excel was manual and error prone
  • No visibility to overall project status
  • Needed a way to accurately track time against projects
  • No visibility into resources' workloads
  • Not in an 'audit-ready' position
