Project Management

Implement IT projects and consulting engagements better than ever before! With Autotask, you can deliver more projects on time and on budget; quickly see what's due, what's done and what's overdue, anticipate overruns against budget and increase billable hours and resource utilization.

Autotask manages the project AND the process, throughout:
  • Installation and configuration for software, hardware and integration projects
  • Automatically capture project time and expenses
  • IT Project management, migrations and office moves
  • Training projects for various IT technology, software and tools
  • Custom application or web design and development
  • Execution of Proactive Maintenance Plans. Create projects with lists of actions they need to perform on supported devices, such as reviewing event logs, applying patches and software updates
  • Projects Timeline View

    With the Autotask Projects module you can view all of your projects in a single timeline view, with each project timeline color coded by project type.
  • Flexible Ghantt Charts

    Each project can also be displayed in Ghantt chart format, broken down by Phases, internal tasks and client tasks. Each task is color coded to display percent complete. Projects can be built from pre-existing templates.
  • Slide Schedule Feature

    Autotask’s powerful “Slide Schedule” feature allows you to modify the overall project schedule in the middle of the project, and all impacted tasks will be automatically adjusted to meet the desired new end date.
  • Create Ad-Hoc Project Teams

    Autotask allows you to create ad hoc project teams that can consist of purely internal resources, or include team members from your client, who collaborate on the project through the optional Client Portal add-on.
  • Projects Dashboard

    Everything about every project is all rolled up into a single project portfolio management dashboard. From here you review deadlines, due dates, status reports, items to approve, performance reports and more.

Project Usability Enhancements. Two new project attributes have been added for department and line of business. Project search functionally has been expanded to include start date, end date, status, project lead, team member, department and line of business. The project search functions have additional columns available and a customizable column selector.

Add Products to Projects and Tickets. It is now much easier to bill for products – on a project, on a ticket and even directly in a contract. New enhancements improve and streamline your product billing workflow, automatically decrement inventory items and flows easily through billing and reporting.

Truth is, there are as many tools for designing and executing projects as there people trying to implement them. From the simple to the sublime, from whiteboards and sticky notes to full-blown, project management point solutions. So why use Autotask?

Tighter Integration. Seamless Workflow. Repeatable Results.

Autotask's Project Management Module not only integrates project-specific components - from quoting through implementation and billing to post-project maintenance and service - it's fully integrated with all of your core business systems.

That means you can create more reliable project plans, schedules and assignments because you have greater visibility into staff and other resources. It means you can more accurately track and distinguish between billable and non-billable project time. And it means you can analyze project performance - at every stage - more accurately so you can execute more profitable projects, more often and more easily.
