troi assembles the picture
Hours, costs, approvals and remaining effort are collected as they arrive, per phase.
Roles
Project managers, told early enough to act
troi puts budget, remaining effort and capacity on one screen, so a project that is drifting shows this week.
Everything you are accountable for, in one place
A project manager is accountable for a budget they often did not set, with people they do not line-manage. troi puts the plan, the recorded hours, the remaining effort and the available capacity on the same screen, so the question becomes what to do rather than what is going on.
Recorded hours from time tracking next to planned effort and the remaining estimate, per phase.
Availability, current load and absences from resource planning, before you commit to a date.
A phase drifting towards its limit is marked when it starts drifting, not once it is past.
A project manager's week
Status
Where each phase stands, what is done and what is still open, in task management.
Budget
Planned, recorded and remaining per phase, with the gap named rather than implied.
People
Who is on your project this week, and who is already committed somewhere else.
Risks
Phases drifting, approvals still waiting, costs that have not landed yet.
By the time the overrun is in the report, it is already everyone's problem
Project managers rarely lack judgement. They lack the figure, early enough to use it. Recorded hours arrive late, costs arrive later, and the first complete picture turns up in a monthly report. troi assembles that picture continuously, from what project estimation planned and what has actually been recorded since.
How it works
How troi supports a project manager
troi collects hours, costs, approvals and remaining effort per phase as they arrive. You decide what moves, whether that is a deadline, a phase that changes hands or a change request. The budget and the forecast follow, and the change lands in the plan, in capacity and in reporting and controlling without a second entry anywhere.
You decide what moves
Shift a deadline, reassign a phase, raise a change request. The budget and the forecast follow.
troi carries the decision through
The change lands in the plan, in capacity and in reporting and controlling, without a second entry anywhere.
An example
A project review in week six
Phase two was planned at 240 hours. 198 are recorded and 70 are still estimated, so it lands at 268. The twenty-eight hours over plan are visible in week six, while phase three has not been staffed and can still absorb the difference.
Every week ends with
the same three numbers
The phase starts with its share of the plan
01 · PlannedWhat the phase was given
The estimate to finish is revised every week
03 · RemainingWhat it still needs
Return Loop
04 · The next estimate
FAQs
What does PSA software do for a project manager?
It puts the plan, the recorded hours, the remaining effort and the available capacity in one place, so the state of a project can be read at any time instead of assembled from several tools before a meeting.
How current are the budget figures?
They move with every entry. A recorded hour, a booked cost or a confirmed change updates the budget and the forecast behind it, without an export or a monthly reconciliation.
Can I see capacity for people who do not report to me?
Yes. Availability, current load and absences are visible across teams, so a date can be committed against what is actually free rather than what was assumed.
What happens when a deadline moves?
Phases, assignments and the forecast move with it.
Do I have to chase people for their hours?
Missing entries are flagged while the week is still open, to the person who did the work, so the gap closes before it reaches a report.
