PilotWorks - Initiatives tab

Comprised of initiative management and prioritization modules, PilotWorks’ initiatives tab goes beyond simply tracking project resources and activities to help stakeholders prioritize and focus resources appropriately — even in the face of conflicting tasks — so that resources support the milestones most critical to organisational goals. Rooted in the knowledge that ownership fosters productivity, the initiative management module provides simple-to-digest summary views of initiatives supporting overall objectives, as well as the milestones supporting each initiative, interdependencies between them, and schedule and budget status.

Key features and benefits

• Initiative summary: Provides at-a-glance summary on the status of multiple initiatives and how they impact performance at the strategic level.
• Unique initiatives prioritization matrix: Helps ensure that stakeholders organisation-wide are doing the right work to support organisational goals, by providing an at-a-glance view of initiatives’ relative importance and urgency, plus dependencies between individual initiatives and/or milestones.
• Fishbone visualisations: Provides an intuitive overview of critical interdependencies between milestones to better understand and resolve bottlenecks within an initiative.
• Filter initiatives by specific characteristics: Limits display of initiatives by specific properties such as owner, budget or schedule status, and related objective, focusing attention on those initiatives which are directly actionable by one individual or that demand immediate attention.
• Initiatives notification: Keeps initiatives moving forward by notifying team members when they are assigned a related task.
• Distribute ownership of initiatives: Distributing ownership across multiple people — including different owners for the overall initiative, associated milestones and sub-milestones — promotes effective collaboration and accountability.
