Why Do Companies Need “Productivity Mining”?
Many organizations lose significant productivity due to too-many-parallel-projects. Too-many-parallel-projects cause, among other things:
- constant resource conflicts
- frequent management escalations
- high planning and monitoring overhead
Productivity Mining addresses the root cause directly: too-many-projects-at-once.
Through system-supported enterprise-wide application of the principle “focus on the few,” quickly measurable effects emerge:
- fewer top management escalations
- significantly reduced planning and steering effort
- projects are completed faster
VISBO requires no detailed project plans – an organizational overview and a few key data points per project are sufficient.
Possible Use by End-User Companies
VISBO GmbH i. L. no longer offers operational SaaS sales or subscription or new contracts.
End-user companies can:
- use the open source version license-free in on-premise or private cloud self-operation. Use is exclusively as-is, without warranty or liability, to the extent permitted by law
- enter into a paid SLA with a consulting and service provider of their choice, e.g., wtt solutions (Ukraine)
VISBO GmbH i. L. assumes no responsibility for third-party services.
The source code is publicly available on GitHub.
Key Software Characteristics
-
1.Concentration on a few things
VISBO recommends applying this principle at both the portfolio and project levels.
Plan and monitor your projects based on key data points, such as crucial deadlines, deliverables, monthly resource demands, and expected revenues or benefits, to optimize efficiency and outcomes.
Focus on the most valuable and important initiatives, rather than trying to do everything at once. Manage your Work-in-Progress within the overall portfolio to bring projects into a steady flow and shorten lead times.
-
2.Visualization and Simulation
Visualization for everybody ensures common understanding. Simply by browser.
Top Management receives a first-glance impression of the current status and financial expectations of the entire portfolio.
Department Managers get a quick overview of team utilization and potential bottlenecks, ranging from the department level down to individual team members. In cases of over-utilization, they can identify the projects involved and coordinate with project managers to resolve the issues.
Project Managers get an automatically generated view comparing targets versus actuals in terms of costs, availability of resources, deadlines, deliveries, and expected benefits. They can also create alternate project plans to demonstrate strategies for getting back on track.
Project Members get an overview of how their capacity is allocated across various projects.
-
3.Automation and AI Assistance
VISBO AI tackles complex and time-consuming tasks.
It generates new project plans, drawing on skills from similar, successfully completed projects.
It offers optimal start-date suggestions for new projects to ensure timely completion while avoiding resource bottlenecks across your entire portfolio.
It offers tailored team member recommendations based on the necessary skills and available capacity, all while accounting for individual vacations and other active projects.
It creates and updates PowerPoint reports for customer and board meetings.
