Intelligent Project Management:
High-Priority Projects Are Always on Top of the Pipeline

In Epicflow project pipeline management software, projects are sorted by priority, which is calculated according to the CCPM principles based on the dependencies between projects.

The project that requires maximum management attention is always on top. The order of projects changes in real time depending on project environment transformations, so you can always be sure that you’re focused on the right part of project work.

At the same time, you can set up a Business Value for every project, and Epicflow will prioritize them based on the defined values.

Time and Capacity Constraints Visible at a Glance

Time and capacity are intertwined, each echoing the shifts and changes of the other. As demonstrated in the scenario where a project milestone is adjusted, it directly impacts the resource load, painting a vivid picture of the project’s new reality. It’s worth noting that this change can lead to an increase in resource demand: the line above zero indicates a potential resource overload.

Identify the Projects’ Feasibility by Their Colors in the Pipeline

Buffer is extra time before the end of the project used to manage uncertainty. In Epicflow, it is closely related to the priority coefficient. The less buffer a project has, the higher the risk factor, and the higher it is in the Pipeline.

In Epicflow Pipeline software for project management, the following four colors are used:

 

  • Red is an indicator of unfeasible milestones;
  • Yellow warns about buffer reduction;
  • Green and blue mean that your projects have enough buffer time and will most likely be delivered on time.

Get Real-Time Automatic Project Priority Recalculation As Soon As Project Changes Occur

You don’t have to calculate anything: in case of project changes, Pipeline gets automatically updated right away. All projects’ priorities are recalculated immediately based on the milestone feasibility.

    Implement Project Changes on the Fly with the Quick Edit Mode

    A Quick Edit (QE) Mode lets you create and edit projects by using key combinations or a graphic interface in the Pipeline.

    Predict the Due Dates with Pipeline Leveling

    Having a capacity constraint means that projects have to wait for resources, which can lead to delivery delays. Enable Pipeline Leveling for the whole project portfolio to predict the delivery date of every project based on automatically calculated priorities, network constraints, and available capacity.

    Make the In-Depth Analysis to Choose the Best Sequence and Deliver All Projects on Time with Project Forecasting Pipeline Software

    As soon as Epicflow calculates the dates, you can go to the Dashboard and check the Performance tab to explore the details:

    • Project statuses,
    • Number of hours in execution,
    • Planned due dates,
    • Percentage and number of projects to be delivered on time.

    If you see that missed due dates are inevitable, you can enable What-if analysis or try Project Staggering to change the start dates of the projects to contribute to their timely delivery or assign more people to enormously big tasks to cut their duration.
