MobilePM is project management tool, supporting you as a project manager or a team member in performing your day-to-day project managerial tasks and thereby saving you time and effort. It provides a wide range of functionality, for instance, creating your project work breakdown structure, allocating tasks to team members, recording work time, tracking progress with help of earned value analysis, or generating reports - just to mention a few.
MobilePM features an easy-to-use user interface and exploits the advantage of the user’s mobility. In doing so, it allows you at anytime and from anywhere to document results as soon as you have accomplished important project work and to record your work time spent for that piece of work fast and easily.
All recorded time costs for the tasks performed are automatically used both for the individual project staff for timesheets as well as for the project managers in monitoring project progress. The timesheets can be created with just a few clicks, printed in various formats and submitted directly to the client for signature. The corresponding invoices can also be generated.
MobilePM is designed both for the effective usage in a demanding professional work environment such as project management with several employees, as well as for the management of simpler tasks in everyday life. The underlying management methodology is the renowned "Open Unified Process" (OpenUP), which is similar to IBM ™ "Rational Unified Process" (RUP), and the Earned-Value Analysis (EVA).
