SugarCRM Project Management Module (including Community Edition CE)

November 30th, 2012 by

SugarCRM Project Management Module

Many CRM users need the ability to manage their projects from within their CRM. But unfortunately few CRM software systems provide this. SugarCRM is one of the few that comes with a Project Management module out of the box. This includes a Gannt Chart and dependent activities.

This article and video describes how SugarCRM can be used for Project Management.

Sugar CRM Project Management module provides a complete project management solution combined with the sales management, marketing automation, and customer service used by employees to manage their normal, day to day customer-centric activities. These capabilities allow users to deploy projects across all customer-facing tasks, including campaigns, opportunities, accounts, and customer cases.

Because project management is integrated with SugarCRM’s client information, users no longer need to be concerned with redundant or inaccurate information, lost customer data, poor information sharing, or lack of user adoption.

SugarCRM as a solid platform for managing projects

1) SugarCRM Project Planning Grids

This feature allows users to build a project quickly, and manage from a top-line perspective.

2) SugarCRM Project Templates

These allow you to create projects from pre-defined templates. This minimizes the time to create repetitive and frequently-executed projects.

3) SugarCRM Gantt Charts

These Gantt charts present a time-phased bar chart that lists tasks or activities along with a time-length bar which represents the duration of the activity.

4) SugarCRM Project Dashboard Reports

These dashboars provide a visual representation of key project metrics such as upcoming tasks, open items, percentage completion, and open cases. Project managers and users see different views of the dashboard depending on their role.

How SugarCRM can be used as a solid platform for any kind of project inside or outside of the scope of CRM. SugarCRM provides project teams with a wide infrastructure of functionality and code that can be leveraged to achieve quick, robust results in any business scenario.
