| | December 20186CIOReviewJeevan George Managing Editoreditor@cioreview.comEditorial Streamlining workflows and administrative processes"Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success." These words by Henry ford holds true for organizations doing their best to improve project management. The simple principle to achieve success in the execution of any project is by seamlessly bridging people, processes, and technology. Meanwhile, to enhance enterprise performance, project managers today are taking a fully embedded approach. This approach often integrates innovation, collaboration, and value to drive business productivity. The current project managers are more concerned about complexity management, continuous delivery, project ROI, budget and scope to exercise control over Project and Portfolio Management (PPM). This calls for a migration to SaaS-based project management applications that virtually eliminate the barriers and provide project managers with real-time access to a centralized repository of project assets. Unlike the traditional on-premise project management applications, SaaS-based PPM brings a comprehensive tool set for managing projects from start to finish. With the wake of new PPM methodologies evolving across industries, project managers are now implementing collaborative, mobile, and social networking tools to carry out tasks from anywhere, anytime and build stronger partnerships. Estimation, resource management and KPIs are just a few of the key areas where machine learning and predictive analytics can have a positive impact on project outcomes. Companies are also seeing Blockchain as a good fundamental and qualitative platform to improve the quality of governance while minimizing bureaucracy.With efficient project management tools, managers can seek accurate information regarding the projects and ensure that all entities are in place--be it the files, invoices, client proposals, budget information or client communication collateral. There are hundreds of popular project management products such as Microsoft SharePoint, Atlassian JIRA and Proof HQ that help project teams build constant connectivity and seamless workflow. As companies are investing heavily in technology-enabled PPM software, our aim with this special edition on project management technology is to help you attain more visibility into your project progress lifecycle. We hope this information will expand your project management capabilities and assist you to shift to the next level of managing the modern day project-heavy business world.Let us know your thoughts!CIOReviewDECEMBER 02, 2018Editorial StaffAaron PierceAshik jainCarolynn WaltersDane StanleyJustin SmithShirley FaithSalesBrian Thomasbrian.thomas@cioreview.comPROJECT MANAGEMENT SPECIALContact Us:Phone:510-402-1463Fax:510-894-8405CIOReviewCopyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
