Being involved in the process-based management activities, you will find a ConceptDraw PROJECT Server an amazing tool for tracking all the changes on each of the stages of completing all the tasks within each of the projects. Process-based management is known to be one of the management approaches used for viewing any business as a collection of different processes, which are managed in order to achieve some particular result — an objective all teams of the specialists, included in the projects, are trying to get.

The mentioned processes all have to be managed and from time to time improved by the organization in order to achieve their mission, core value and vision. Mission, core value and vision are known to be three crucial factors used for managing an organization by managing the processes within each of the stages of its development. Taking into consideration all three aspects of measuring the success of any organization as a direction of the business, all organizations build their corporate strategy, determining the processes which have to be taken into account. As a result of such activity, the organization can obtain all its strengths as well as a competitiveness at the market.

Mission is known to be the main purpose of an existence of any company. It never changes over time, providing a guidance for all the decision-making processes, enabling the company’s managers to get the successful results. Thus, mission is something that has to be achieved.

Core Values are simply a principle that helps organizations find out whether the decisions that are being made and actions that are being taken are wrong or right. The value is known to be essential for completing the decision-making tasks as well as for sustaining the organization’s long-term success. The vision can be some aspirational reason for organization to achieve in the long run. Leading the company to challenge different tasks as well as to develop its own business strategy, the vision can be considered as a motivation for building a business structure, managing all human resources and determining the strategic plans. Some companies take the “vision-achieving operations” very seriously, treating them as their primary goals. Thus, vision is something to be aimed for achievement within an organization.

A clear correlation between the vision and the processes can support the company in order to plan its strategies, to build some definite business structure and to use the sufficient resources that are required for achieving a success in the long run.

All organizations regard its business as a system of lots of different vision-achieving processes, not the particular tasks and activities of individual functions. The system itself is not one of the methods or tools used within some processes. It is rather a holistic approach used for managing all the processes within one company. Thus, in order to manage its processes in the effective and efficient ways, all the participants within one organization have to, first of all, have a full knowledge of their vision as well as an effective team of the skilled specialists.

Having lots of specialists to arrange, any HR (human resources) manager can recommend the Project Manager who can be good at completing which tasks within different projects as HR managers are known to be having this responsibility to test the employees in order to find out the best features of their characters as well as if they have all the required skills. Having a final team of specialists, any project manager can add them to the ConceptDraw PROJECT Server project scheduler software, delegating the authority within the assigned tasks.

Being an Administrator and so the person who owns the workspace, you get an access to the full range of all ConceptDraw PROJECT Server functionality, being able to upload as well as download different projects, remove them from the workspace if needed (regardless of who downloaded them before), invite other users to their workspace, assign them to different roles (PM, RM, Users and Guests) within the projects, removing after if needed, create a Workspace Resource Pool for sharing resources with other workspaces and assign the resources to the projects, change all the Start/Finish dates of all the project tasks in order to make the resource usage more optimal, change all task properties, the working hours and the calendars of the resources and the projects, task completion percentage mentioning if the project is at its start, half way done or complete, and view all the projects related information, including costs and budget, which other users cannot see, apart from the Project Managers.

Project Managers can also review the projects by using the Gantt chart, changing each task’s status (mentioning whether it is complete or not yet), view all the project related information, invite other users to their project (but not assign them to different roles), assign the resources from the workspace, change the dates of all the project tasks as well as the task properties, the calendars, the working hours of the projects and all the resources he or she is permitted to see, analyze all the assigned resources usage by identifying the resource utilization, remove the no longer needed projects and download the ConceptDraw PROJECT files into the Workspace.

Resource managers can only change the value of the “Complete” field within the Workspace, but only for those tasks that are assigned as the resources, view all the projects in the separate Gantt pages and the tasks within the “Scheduler” page, but only those that are assigned to the resources and previously selected for him. At the same time, Guests (G) can only open the projects in a “Read Only” mode, so it is possible to view them, but not change anything.
