Project management questions

What are the most important project management software features?

Start with project definition, assigned work, owners and dates, issues and decisions, updates, role views, reporting with drill-down, permissions, history, and the ability to adapt workflows and controls.

Are Gantt charts essential?

They are valuable for schedule-led projects and dependency planning. They are not essential for every project. Choose based on planning complexity rather than category convention.

Why does configuration matter?

Project types, approvals, roles, evidence, and management questions change. Safe administrator-owned configuration prevents the live system from drifting away from the process.

How should we test dashboards?

Use live sample records, create a late action and material blocker, then click the resulting signals. The dashboard passes when it opens the right records and supports the next response.
