It's like Tivo, how did I get along without it?

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
I just shared with our CIO my ROI by measuring only time and gained efficiencies and that number came in over $75K, and our launch date was in June 2009.

Product Reviews

Pros Easy to use and I can collaborate with my team without sending around excel files or a Project file. I get tasks updated from my team without having to constantly send out email reminders.

As a PMO Director I can generate quick reports for my CIO and finance department, but for us the largest benefit is the day to day management of many projects across the enterprise. Within a few clicks I can see the enterprise project status.
