Improving processes requires you to use some process improvement guide that lets review your basic assumptions about how you do your job. Such a guide can be a book or a website showing tools and methods to help you collect and analyze data required for making decisions about process improvement. One of the most convenient ways to find the best process improvement guide is to use online search engines (Google, MNS, AOL, etc.) that allow you to use keywords (e.g. improvement definitions, guides for process performance management, terms, and others) to get a number of relevant websites containing valuable information about process improvement methodologies and studies.
Together with your process improvement guide you will need to use some process management software that allows achieving your goals through advanced process planning and control. For example, you can try VIP Task Manager. This software allows managing tasks, processes and projects through creating to-do lists, schedules, workflows, checklists, and templates. VIP Task Manager allows measuring efficiency processes by using performance indicators.
Action Plan:
- Go to Tools – Custom Fields to create metrics and performance indicators.
- Use Task Tree view to break your process down into a series of tasks.
- Go to Workflows Editor to create specific statuses for tasks.
- Use Charts panel to display chosen tasks on a chart.
CentriQS Tracking Tasks Solution Task Time Tracking in CentriQS is very flexible. Users can track time they spend on tasks both manually by entering actual/remaining task duration or adding time logs and automatically by using task timer that adds time logs when you pause or stop it. Task property "Deviation" informs users whether they are "On Schedule", "Ahead of Schedule" or "Behind Schedule" by calculating the difference between "Estimate" and "Actual+Remain". |
