Value of PMIS by Charles Thompsen

"A PMIS provides information so the team has a common understanding of the facts: a prerequisite for collaboration.  It's the cheapest way to gather information because it's only done once.  And it's the most reliable way to host information because many eyes scrutinize centralized data and mistakes are most likely to be found and corrected.  It the first line of defence against political against political or legal attack. It's clear window into the project that leaders can use instead of relying on delayed or biased reports filtered though layers of management.  It improves performance because it measures it; it's a report card for both team members and management.  And most important, it educates the team and makes better managers it tells a true stories."


At UTSW, the VP of Facilities Management, the COO, Assistant VP of Business Affairs and his assistant have access to the PMIS software.  We also provided access to our internal and external auditor .  Our goal is to make the projects and our department transparent and make project related information readily available to administration.
