Project Management
As a Project Manager you typically handle multiple projects simultaneously, each with its own deadlines and deliverables. Balancing and prioritising these projects can be a juggling act, requiring effective time management and organisational skills. Project managers must ensure that projects stay on track and meet client expectations while managing limited resources and overlapping timelines.
Ever stand on top of a hill that gives you a 360° panoramic view? There’s nothing quite like it.
And the same can be said about our Project Dashboard.
The Project Dashboard is logically divided into 3 sections:
-
Budget
Track how your project is performing against what was agreed with your client, as well as key KPI’s such as Net Margin and Gross Margin.
-
Scheduling
Magnetic will predict if you are going to over-, or underservice on the project. Through key metrics such as Estimate to Complete and Estimate at Complete, Magnetic will help you understand if your project is going to be on, or off track. Effectively allowing you to be proactive instead of reactive.
-
Financials
Understand your projects’ financial performance through key financial indicators such as Actual Net/Gross Margin, un-billable work and supplier purchases.
Streamline operations with
customisable cost estimates and time plans
Enhance your quoting process and optimise work allocation by leveraging customisable templates to create precise cost estimates and time plans. Ensure accurate client quotes and allocate tasks with optimal timings, maximising productivity and project success.
Enhance operations with efficient resource management: Optimise project prioritisation and scheduling with real-time dashboards
Prioritise projects and schedule tasks with ease using real-time dashboards that give you complete visibility of your project’s schedule.
Using multiple views, such as list view, status view, Kanban or Gantt, you’ll be able to visualise project process, track key performance metrics and turn meaningful insights into actionable outcomes.
Empower financial control: Gain insights on budget utilisation
Keep tabs on the budget utilisation over time to gain valuable insights into the remaining budget and identify potential overservicing. Magnetic also offers functionality for tracking retainer budgets, enabling you to easily monitor the remaining budget for retainer engagements using this dashboard. Stay in control and make informed decisions about resource allocation and financial management.
Stay ahead of client demands: Gain comprehensive visibility and control of over-servicing
While we can't make any promises that you won’t be over-servicing clients (it happens sometimes for a reason), we can assure you that Magnetic will equip you with the necessary dashboard to maintain a comprehensive overview.

Briefings & Scope of Work
When starting a new project, you can include a briefing right from the start, even leveraging from a template. By having the project briefing readily accessible to the team, you're ensuring they always have the essential information at their fingertips. This boosts the speed and efficiency of project execution, keeping things moving forward smoothly.
