All Projects have the common constraints of Scope, Cost and Schedule (Work, Elapsed Time and Resources). Project Managers need quality tools to manage these constraints and report performance to stakeholders. Microsoft Dynamics provides rich functionality, essential for project teams to easily process data, and to empower project managers to efficiently manage their constraints, delivering projects on time on budget. Renown's experienced teams and proven methodologies can implement the Dynamics solution to suit your industry and unique requirements. 

	Project Scope / WBS			Estimating / Budgeting
Maintaining and managing Scope and the Work Breakdown Structure "WBS", is at the heart of every project. For Professional Services, this is the basis for the budget and cost capture.			An Estimate and/or Budget is essential to Project Accounting and is the constraint to Scope and Schedule (Quality & Time). PSA focuses more on revenue budgets and T&E projects.
	Resource Management			Time & Expense Entry
Managing Employees and Subcontractors is a critical issue for Professional Service organisations. Project profits are generally driven by resource utilisation and availability is the key constraint.			For Services companies, people are the biggest cost. Time and Expenses capture must be simple, easy and efficient, minimising downtime and encouraging prompt completion.
	Contract / Subcontract			Change Order / Variations
Contract and Subcontract Management varies based on the size and complexity of the Project.  For larger projects, it becomes more critical to manage Scope, Budget and Billing.			Managing variations and their impact on scope, resourcing and schedule, is important to all projects and all industries. Their priority varies based on size and billing models.
	Cost & Revenue Alloc'n			Billing / Percent Complete
Different Industries and businesses have varying methods for allocating costs and recognising revenues. Revenues may be accrued based on rates, percent complete or milestone schedules.			Client contracts, or business development teams, often drive billing formats and project staff have to adapt. Percent Complete and Billing functions need to be flexible to address any budget and billings format.
	Document Control			Web / Remote Access
Most project managed enterprises have a growing need for easy and efficient document control. This is particularly so for Professional Services firms.  Electronic management of documents is critical.			Professional Services are commonly delivered at clients sites and project teams need access to project data remotely. Web Access to project data and documents is crucial to efficient and timely maintenance of project information.
	Issues Management			Risk Management
Logging and managing Issues in a timely and efficient manner can smooths the running of all projects and can reduce project risk and major failures.			Maintaining an accurate Risk register is best practice on all projects, but used in vary degrees in Professional Services. The easier this is for teams to maintain the more likely its use..
