Key Features of Project Operations 

  • Project management – ​​Built-in tools help users produce accurate quotes, including costs, efforts, and revenue. These figures enable managers to plan feasible, efficient projects. By ensuring that the project results match the contract terms, companies will earn the trust of their customers. Managers can view and track all costs and timelines in intuitive dashboards to ensure projects stay on track and are delivered successfully and on time.
  • Resource Optimization – Using a unified scheduling engine, Project Operations intelligently assigns tasks based on employee (team) skills, location, and resource availability. The schedule appears on real-time dashboards that give managers a deep understanding of where their resources are allocated and how to make the most of them while also providing their resources with the relevant details they need to complete their work.
  • Profit forecasting – Within Project Operations, the unified Sales Management dashboard brings together product and project related opportunities and advises users which deals should be prioritized. The data enables users to highlight risky deals, identify the deals' predicted profits, and calculate them based on cost, effort, and revenue figures.
  • Communication – Using a portal, users can communicate directly with customers and project stakeholders during the planning and execution phase. Tools such as Microsoft Teams are used to collaborate and communicate during projects.
  • Productivity Tools – Intuitive time submission options ensure project resources are never late. Users can submit, approve, and reconcile both hours and expenses from anywhere using the dedicated Dynamics 365 mobile application from Android and iOS devices. The high accessibility means that project managers can react quickly to project changes. They can spot and address risks by following the key performance indicator displayed in the dashboard.
