Features
- Online Work Planning: Creating a work plan in AID-Project is as easy as creating an outline, much like MS-Project. Everything in AID-Project integrates into the work plan: budgets, documents, scopes of work, results, everything.
- Budgeting: A very important aspect of project management is budgeting. In AID-Project, budgeting is integrated right into the work plan. Add a Project Action to the work plan, then add budget line items to the Action. Build up your budget as you build out your work plan.
- Desktop Reporting: AID-Project uses familiar desktop software (MS-Access, MS-Excel, and MS-Project) as its primary reporting tools. Download project data directly from the on-line database into MS-Access for both printed and electronic reports (with automated data transfer to Excel). Work plan data can likewise be imported into MS-Project via the Internet to create Gantt charts and other useful work plan output.
- Document Management Online: Deliverables, reports, scopes of work, and all project documents are essential management inputs and outputs. Using AID-Project, these mission critical documents are stored on-line within the work plan where they are accessible to project staff anywhere in the world, no matter what time zone they're in.
- Online country clearances: Managing the travel of short- and long-term personnel has been greatly simplified with online country clearances in AID-Project. With the participation of your local USAID mission, country clearance requests and approvals can be generated automatically and approved online.
- Results tracking: AID-Project can be set up to integrate with a separate monitoring system, allowing you to link your work plan and your project actions to the results and indicators in your external project monitoring software. A direct linkage to USAID-based PMP systems is being designed and will be released soon.
- Flexibility: If your management environment has special needs, AID-Project can be customized to meet your project's specific requirements.
