For many people the term Project Management means organizing tasks using a Gantt chart. But Project Management in the broader sense means managing a plethora of elements within a project, ranging from the simple to the complex. OfficeHub Project Management tools are designed to support these facets and make them easier to manage.

In OfficeHub all information is organized around projects. Each project has a life-cycle beginning with an 'Enquiry', and ending as 'Completed'. Using the Project Navigator, a manager can move from project to project and use the OfficeHub management tools to see the project through to tender and then completion. These tools are illustrated bellow..

• Track projects by status
• Capture informal project information
• Record all variations/extras
• Support Health and Safety effort
• And more - see bellow..

The ability to track projects by status (different stages of the project), brings many benefits to the running of a contracting office as well as providing an up-to-date assessment of current and future workload. This allows you to provide a better response to your clients in addition to helping you manage the company's resources.

The flow chart below illustrates the logic used for the project status:

• Gain control of all your projects
• View/find all projects relative to their project life-cycle.
• Manage enquiries effectively
• Gauge workload - present and upcoming
• Anticipate future resource requirements
