Project Management

Best Practice Scenario: Project Management

The Project Management business scenario enables you to plan and execute the entire lifecycle of projects of any scope. It provides the core processes required to manage projects, including scheduling, resource staffing, and cost estimation and management. When the project is released, integrated processes such as purchasing, as well as time and expense confirmations are enabled, resulting in costs being posted to the project. Dedicated reports enable the project manager to monitor the status of the projects, as well as the costs incurred during projects.
