The ClearPoint Strategy Success Framework: Managing Projects

Effective project management is crucial for any organization aiming to achieve its goals. It involves coordinating tasks across various departments, managing interdependencies, tracking budgets, and ensuring that milestones are met on time. This complexity is compounded when projects are not aligned with strategic goals, leading to wasted resources and missed opportunities. Managing multiple projects, ensuring alignment with overarching objectives, and keeping track of progress can be challenging without the right tools, and project managers can struggle to maintain visibility and control over all moving parts.

Is this you? If so, look no further! ClearPoint Strategy's advanced project management tools were designed to help organizations like yours streamline their processes, linking projects to goals, managing dependencies, and generating comprehensive progress reports.

Created by managers, for managers, the ClearPoint platform was developed to mirror the five factors of strategic success. The ClearPoint Strategy Success Framework was developed from over 50 years of experience working with strategy. Below is a breakdown of how ClearPoint supports the third factor.

1. Organize Strategy

2. Align Organization

3. Manage Projects:

Project Organization

Within ClearPoint, projects can be linked to strategic goals and performance measures across departments. This ensures that every project undertaken supports the overall strategy of the organization. By aligning projects with strategic objectives, ClearPoint helps organizations focus on initiatives that drive results, avoiding working on projects that don’t contribute to long-term goals.

AI Assistance

For new project managers, ClearPoint’s AI Assistants aid in setting milestones, planning projects, and identifying risks and dependencies. This not only simplifies the project planning process, but also ensures that projects are set up for success from the start.

Progress Tracking

One of ClearPoint's standout features is its ability to track project progress, budgets, errors, milestones, and more in real-time. Tools like Gantt charts and custom fields provide a visual representation of project timelines and dependencies. This comprehensive reporting allows project managers to monitor progress, identify potential bottlenecks, and make data-driven decisions.

Portfolio Management

Managing a portfolio of projects can be daunting, but ClearPoint makes it easy by allowing managers to roll up information at the portfolio level. This high-level view of project status and performance helps executives and project managers evaluate whether projects are contributing to strategic goals and if resources are being allocated effectively.
