Smarter Launch Pad

Smarter Launch Pad

Remove the headache of manually setting up multiple project assets every time a new project is required.

Why is manually setting up Projects a headache?

  • Every time a new Project is requested, someone needs to set up the assets.
  • Typically these are a combination of a Gannt Sheet, a RAID log, a Charter and a Dashboard for visibility.
  • They all need naming (consistently)
  • They all need linking to tracker sheets / dashboard metrics
  • Setting these up manually requires time, concentration and a keen eye for detail and a dedicated administrator

What automation does Smarter Launch Pad bring?

  • Creating and naming the sheets, reports and dashboards using Project specific data
  • Linking project data from the tracking sheet into the newly created assets
  • Linking top level metrics %Complete, Status, RAG ball health etc to your tracking sheet for progress visibility
  • Creating hyperlinks to the assets for quick navigation

  • Assets are creating in less than a minute, saving valuable time for your PM’s
