Strategic Planning Software
vs.
A Project Management Dashboard
Project Management Dashboard Alternative: AchieveIt
AchieveIt and project management tools are built for different purposes. If you're not using Excel for project management - good. But be aware that specialized project management tools have their limitations too.
Project management platforms are designed to measure activity, tactics, and lower-level tasks. AchieveIt is purpose-built to measure execution and results of a plan as a whole.
Project management dashboards and tools are helpful for allowing team members to organize assignments and tasks, but they often live in a vacuum.
Using project management tools to track multiple projects quickly becomes overwhelming and makes overall visibility nearly impossible.
AchieveIt shows leaders how projects align to larger initiatives, and how those initiatives support the overall plan. Our multi-plan management software provides visibility into the execution of an entire plan - not just a single project - to show progress at an executive level, while also housing the project management details team leaders need.

The benefits of using AchieveIt
BIG PICTURE VISIBILITY
AchieveIt provides much-needed visibility to see how your initiatives impact the broader, overall goals of your organization. AchieveIt delivers the high-level overview (what’s on track, off track, at risk – and why) in an quickly digestible format – perfect for senior leadership!
BETTER DECISIONING
Multi-plan management software gives project managers the ability to marry the quantitative information with the qualitative. This provides context for the numbers, so can make better decisions, faster
MEASURE RESULTS
PM tools can often leave leaders wondering if they’re being strategic, or just busy. AchieveIt was designed to provide insights into those metrics across business units, departments, and geographic regions.
REAL-TIME DASHBOARDS
Custom dashboards allow you to interact with your data in multiple ways. All the information is synchronized across different views and updated in real-time, so you never have to worry about making decisions based on old data.
AUTOMATED EMAIL UPDATES
AchieveIt users receive a single email that allows them to directly provide updates, metrics, and commentary for every item they’re responsible for, across all your plans - without leaving their inbox.
EASE OF USE
PM tools typically require an advanced user to operate them effectively. AchieveIt user training takes about an hour and contributors predominantly interact with our system via email.
