Features of the OMS (Objective Management System)
The OMS: Our in-house multitasking Management software |
The objective management system is an application
that we developed at kvcinfo. We use it to manage our projects, beginning from the enquiry
handling stage to the quality assurance stage in any project. Performance evaluations,
tracking daily activities are some of the benefits of this application.
Customer Enquiries:
When a client enquiry reaches a 'hot' stage, ready-made templates can be used in the
estimation of time involved, description of the scope of the project and the client
requirements.
Project Management:
The moment a project is created at the Requirements capture stage it is entered in the OMS
and the project manager receives a notification of the project created. He is then able to
assign tasks and resources with the help of the project
leaders. Workflows when added are approved by the project manager. A project leader is
able to track multiple releases for the project, multiple objectives and milestones easily
with the OMS.
Once tasks are assigned to individual resources,
resources enter their individual task times and completion dates in the OMS. When a task
is recorded as complete in the OMS, it is then sent to the Quality
Assurance team for checking.
 Calendar: A calendar is maintained for each individual and the user
can add all scheduled work into the OMS. So, when a new task is being assigned to a user,
the OMS gives the number of free hours that the user has on that particular day and
suggests a proper assignment time and date for the task.
Performance Management:
An added feature of the OMS is a Human Resource element
that helps a human resource manager track employee performance. In a 360-degree
performance review, the peer review is carried out quite easily. The HR manager adds the
template and it is sent automatically to all employees who can fill out the requisite
details about their colleagues and submit for analysis. The OMS uses a pre-established
formula and calculates the results that are displayed in a user-friendly manner to the HR
manager.
It is most important to define the client's role
in project management. The client needs to understand the processes and responsibilities
that will be crucial for a smooth and effective client-developer relationship and a
successful final product. The client needs to agree on the communication
protocols during the project, the change control procedures
regarding scheduling and budgets. All said and done, this is what will make for a
satisfied client and a successful project. |
