Program Management

i-nexus' Program Edition gives all the functionality of the Project Edition, together with powerful project and resource management capabilities. Delivering all the functionality needed to drive significant Return on Investment, Program Edition is easy to use, quick to deploy and readily customized for any methodology.

Project opportunity management

Project opportunities can be logged from within the system, as well as by non-users from outside the system. A range of tools ensures projects and opportunities can be managed with ease, including the ability to:

- assign assessment of opportunities to the appropriate person and record their analysis;
- compare opportunities and set priorities by detailed evaluation;
- launch opportunities directly into projects.

Portfolio and program management tools

A number of features help you manage and analyze projects grouped as portfolios. Portfolios can be based on business unit structure, project type, related product, location or any ad hoc definition or project grouping.

- Gantt Charts provide a pictorial representation for the time-frame of all projects within a portfolio, with the ability to drill down to project and tasks below.
- Categories of project risks and journals allow managers to view slices of journal and risk information from portfolios of projects, for example, all coaching note journals or all quality related risks.
- Aggregated views give insights into the cumulative risks of a program or portfolio.
