New release delivers greater customization for customer needs

TeamDirection, the creator of participatory project management, today released a new version of its Project Dashboard, enabling entire project teams to more easily manage their efforts across multiple projects.

The TeamDirection Dashboard now allows projects to be easily organized into folders using drag-and-drop or by specifying search criteria such as “all revenue-enhancing projects”, or “all revenue-enhancing projects that are behind schedule”. Team members can now organize their projects by programs, clients, project status or category, or any other grouping that meets their specific need. Projects in a group may be viewed or reported on together, or their data exported to Excel.

"TeamDirection Project and Dashboard are rock-solid operational project management tools that our customers appreciate a lot. The new Dashboard enhances the cross-workspace views thanks to new easy-to-use features such as organizing projects into meaningful folders, quick customizable views and printing of user-driven reports. This will continue to accelerate the adoption curve of this distributed secure efficient project management environment”, said Jean-Michel Davault, managing director and founder of Hommes & Process. Headquartered in France, Hommes & Process has been re-selling a localized version of the tools to French-speaking private and public sector customers since 2003.

"TeamDirection continues to deliver innovative features to our Groove Virtual Office Project Edition customers, bringing greater value with each new release. The TeamDirection tools are key to helping workgroups execute and track project work", said David Scult, general manager of Microsoft's Groove Networks division. For busy program or project managers and their teams, the new Project Dashboard solves the problem of dealing with many unprioritized tasks across multiple projects. Now people can start their day with immediate visibility into what requires attention, and end their day by reporting progress on multiple tasks across multiple projects from one convenient place

The new Dashboard is available to TeamDirection Project customers who have purchased the support plan from Groove Networks or TeamDirection. It requires the latest release of TeamDirection Project, available from www.teamdirection.com
