Managing programs and projects
IBM® TRIRIGA® offers a suite of tools that automate, streamline, and manage the full array of capital project processes, tasks, documents, design, changes, cost, risk, and schedule management.
- Program and project management for capital projects
The IBM TRIRIGA program and project management process automates, streamlines, and manages capital project processes. You can manage all aspects of a capital project, from project setup to the execution and closeout of the project. - Setting up projects
Before a project begins, you can create templates and cost codes to save time throughout the program and project management process. Templates ensure that the data is consistent for all projects. Cost code structures track and streamline the financial activities that take place within an organization. - Creating programs
You create a program to coordinate objectives for multiple related projects. Programs facilitate the planning, management, and oversight of the various projects. For example, the finances for all projects would roll up under the program, and the program would maintain a master schedule of the key project dates. - Creating capital projects
Creating a capital project is a process that you can use to manage, add, and define aspects of a project like the project scope, schedule, budget, tasks, and roles. For example, you can define a project team and security access for each team member. - Planning and managing projects
Planning and managing projects is an ongoing process throughout the project lifecycle. You make plans for items such as budgets, schedules, and designs, then you manage and track these items. All aspects of planning and managing a project aim to achieve targets within financial, time, and other constraints. - Managing project procurement
Procurement Management is a process to obtain materials and services that are required to execute a project. This process includes management of the bid process for a contract, managing the bid process for a purchase order, processing invoices, and releasing payments. - Project execution
During project execution, you track information, manage daily reports, and manage and create records to ensure the project is run properly. Project execution tasks and processes are daily and ongoing. - Project and program closeout
Project closeout is the final step in the project lifecycle. During the closeout process, the project manager ensures that all aspects of the project are complete. If all projects in a program are closed, the program manager closes the program.
