Protocol provides a professional and flexible framework for the management of projects in portfolios. Project offices use Protocol to standardise project operations such as configuration and risk management and to improve processes including communication and workflow planning. Standardisation and visibility via portfolios enables the business to identify the leading projects so that timely decisions can be made on behalf of the business.

Not only will Protocol provide a fully configurable framework for the project office but Protocol can also compare projects in and between portfolios. This allows a company to identify best practices in the management of projects and deliver improvements to the rest of the business. And if the business re-organises, then entire projects can be transferred between organisations, locations and portfolios.

Adopting a project methodology is a step many project offices are taking in order to make projects more predictable and manageable. Introducing a methodology or project practice to an organisation can be a challenging undertaking, which is why Protocol is able to carry methods and practices to the organisation in a step-by-step approach. The project office can measure uptake and identify those components that require additional support to reach portfolio targets.

Protocol’s project management features are seamlessly integrated between portfolios, allowing portfolio managers to search for and evaluate key milestones. Managers can then balance project deliveries with operational capacity and see that stakeholder expectations are being met to ensure long-term customer satisfaction.
