Key Benefits of KeepSolid Goals for Project Managers

Agile PMs require a unique set of features and capabilities from their online project management software. Let’s list them and see what KeepSolid Goals has to offer in those departments.

Planning and scheduling

When managing a project, it is critical to have your teams’ tasks and responsibilities outlined and visible. This helps avoid misunderstandings and shows everyone who to delegate new tasks. In KeepSolid Goals, planning and scheduling is performed by setting deadlines, managing tasks with Sprints and Kanban boards, and viewing your scheduled activities on gantt-like charts and reports.

Collaboration

Teams in large projects can consist of tens or hundreds of members, each having expert knowledge in their field and working on specific tasks. Assessing and directing everyone’s work, as well as organizing efficient communication through multiple channels is among the key tasks of a project manager - tasks that KeepSolid Goals is designed to promote and streamline.

Versatility

Considering the amount of documentation and task management that developing a project entails, any PM would welcome any way to make the whole process more efficient, organized, and unified. KeepSolid Goals is an online tool that offers exactly that. With it, all your data is quickly accessible in one place, and is convenient to store and manage.

Reports

To successfully manage your projects, you need to be aware of the shortcomings and problems that require a quick solution. Our agile project management software provides just the right tool for this - automated reports. In the corresponding tab of KeepSolid Goals, you will find a wide range of reports that will grant you all sorts of insights on what’s going on inside your company.

 

Resource management

Project managers have all sorts of resources at their disposal, such as their teams’ time, project budget, workforce, etc. These resources can at times become unmanageable, unless you coordinate and control them properly. KeepSolid Goals is just the right solution for this, allowing to assign its own set of resources to every object in your plan, and then monitor and assess their use.

Objective-oriented management

One of the cornerstones of Agile project management is the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) approach. According to it, and as manifested in KeepSolid Goals, you should set your global Objective as the main focus of your teams’ activities, and then add Key Results - sub-goals that must be completed in order to achieve the Objective. This helps you and your teams stay focused on what really matters for success.

Agile task management

Flexibility in how you’re setting, assigning, and monitoring tasks is pivotal if you want your project management to be truly Agile. Some of the most common ways to do this is by using such agile tools as Sprints and Kanban boards, which allow PMs to create assignments in association with their respective projects or timelines, and to add structure and logic to otherwise separate tasks.

Convenience and price

Project managers are in charge of seeing their projects succeed in the most efficient (and cost-efficient) way possible. That’s why we designed everything about KeepSolid Goals to be as little of a hassle for you as possible. It’s a web-based app, meaning it can be used on pretty much any internet-capable device, and it also offers highly flexible pricing options.

How to Use KeepSolid Goals for Agile Project Management
step 1
Objective

What is the grand goal of your project? Is it expected to create a full-fledged new product? Are you currently developing new features for your service that will benefit its sales? Or is your team focused on providing your users with a more satisfying experience? Choose a global overarching target you wish your project to hit - that’s your Objective.

step 2
Key Results

Key Results are smaller, more concrete sub-goals. They are associated with your Objective and are supposed to bring it closer to reality (hence, the name OKR - Objectives and Key Results). For example, if your Objective is to launch a new product, relevant Key Results would be to conduct a number of customer development interviews, do a training session on the new product for Sales and Support teams, and review Product Marketing technical spec documents.

step 3
Tasks

Once you have determined your Key Results, think about the activities required to achieve them - these are your Tasks. Each task is associated with a specific Key Result and is appointed to concrete team members. This way all of your team’s activities will always in one way or another facilitate the achievement of your major Objective. And correspondingly, every team member will understand their part in the success of the organization and what’s expected of them.

step 4
Plan implementation

Once your plan is complete and agreed upon with all stakeholders, it’s time to set it in motion. At this step, you’ll find that KeepSolid Goals as an agile software is particularly helpful in task management and performance monitoring departments. 

  • Sprints, Kanban board, and Timeline features facilitate agile project management and help monitor your company’s progress towards your Objective 
  • Reports to monitor how successfully your team is moving towards the Objective, business performance, and KPIs in general
  • My Tasks tab to manage task implementation
step 5
Staying relevant

Keep up with the market if you want your project to truly succeed. Tracking trends, taking advantage of new market opportunities, avoiding potential problems… And a truly agile online software like KeepSolid Goals should complement this need by letting you make necessary amendments to your plans:

  • Update your Objectives and Key Results in a few clicks
  • Assign new Tasks to reach your Objective
  • Redefine your KPIs to reflect the shifting market conditions
step 6
Learning from experience

Finally, it’s time to take a step back and do a little retrospective analysis, learn from your successes and failures. Ask yourself the following questions and use your answers when next developing a plan for a new project: 

  • Have you reached your Objective?
  • Have you planned your resources correctly? 
  • What difficulties did you encounter related to the Objective, Key Results, Tasks?
  • How effective was your team at reaching the Objective?
