How to successfully complete a Cross-Department Project

No matter what sector you’re in, cross-department projects can be a challenge. From managing expectations to keeping an eye on progress, there’s plenty to consider – and without the right PPM project management software, it can seem like an impossible task.

With that in mind, we’re outlining three key ways that Clarity project management software could help you deliver that cross-department project you’ve been planning.

Clear communication

As its name suggests, Clarity is here to give you just that – and one of the primary ways it can help is by facilitating communication. Communication is a vital part of delivering any project, but becomes even more critical when multiple departments are involved. By integrating Clarity with Rally, the agile management solution from Broadcom, and other solutions throughout your business, you can make sure everyone’s on the same page with one single source of truth provided by Clarity.

Awareness of challenges

With Clarity, you can create a workspace for each project, determining where each team fits in and which tasks need to be completed in order to progress to the next stage.

By planning in advance and setting out your precise goals in the software using strategic roadmaps, you and your team can anticipate potential challenges before they arise – limiting the likelihood of any unexpected bumps in the road.

Keeping track of progress

You can plan all you like, but when a project gets underway, change is inevitable. Clarity can act as a bridge between your company’s internal systems, giving you access to all the essential data you need to track… all in one place.

With all of the information you need at your fingertips, it can help you model the impact of change and how best to respond using the extensive scenario planning functionality.
