The PBA Project Modeler offers a superior planning experience compared to other tools
Whether you currently use Oracle P6, Microsoft Project, estimating applications, or just plain-old spreadsheets, the Adeaca PBA Project Modeler will improve your process significantly.
Old Way
- Manual copy and paste tasks and budgets from past projects in a project management application, estimation tool or or old Excel sheets.
- Error-prone and time-consuming as tasks and estimations must be highly modified after insertion to fit the new project
- Ungoverned and highly irregular – best practices are not captured and enforced
- While flexible, it is undisciplined and dependent on individual diligence and talent
- Not scalable – only as good as how the project manager’s or estimator’s last project relates to the new one, which differs for everyone
Adeaca PBA Project Modeler
- Build project work breakdown structures and cost breakdown structures through standardized processes from an enterprise-wide library of approved and published models
- Streamlined and scalable – Construct a unique plan based on uniform components resulting in increased company-wide standardization
- New guidelines or revised best practices are easily adopted and shared through central model library
- Highly flexible yet structured – schedules and estimates can be based on structured, formula-driven models. The planner can change individual variables based on the project. Results in quicker but controlled set up.
