Can Do project management

Can Do: Born of the desire to revolutionise project and resource management

It's already been 20 years ago since Can Do was established to set new benchmarks with a software in the areas of project and resource management based on artificial intelligence. To develop a solution that lets people plan the future as accurately as though it were already reality today. Meaning that all projects run as they're supposed to. That every team comprises the optimal mix of skills and risks are minimized.

That's exactly what Can Do does. It's the only project management and resource planning software that supports your work with cloud-based, cutting-edge technologies like AI and gives you a decisive advantage over your competitors. Software that makes planning errors and capacity bottlenecks a thing of the past. And that gives you more time for what's important, so you can handle several projects simultaneously and with higher quality.

Our software lets you make well-founded strategic decisions for your business - faster. How? With comprehensive, real-time information on the status of your company's projects; detailed simulations of future projects, and AI-based risk analysis and recommendations for action. You'll know which customer projects can be implemented with no risk and which can't. You can see which skills are already available in your company and which you'll need to recruit for the future. You'll understand which projects are in increasing demand by customers - and how you can guide the strategic development of your business to respond to that demand. In short: Can Do lets you keep your company on a winning track by delivering a detailed, enterprise-wide overview of what's happening in every area.

1. Plan accuarately based on what you know

By using realistic key data - exact statements for the near future, inaccurate statements for the distant future - you can plan your projects more easily and reliably.
By using imprecise but realistic data, for example a specific date for the foreseeable future, but information such as summer next year for the distant future, predictions become more reliable and you do not have to constantly adjust your project plans. This saves you an average of 20% time and increases confidence in your planning capabilities.

3. Make well-founded decisions with AI

Artificial intelligence in risk management shows you current and future problems and also gives you prioritised recommendations for action to ensure the success of the project. The analysis of millions of scenarios and possibilities by artificial intelligence recognises potential risks and provides you with a well-founded basis for decision-making about the feasibility of projects - much more precisely and quickly than a human being would be able to do. This decisively increases the success rate of your company, your department and your team. Another positiv point: the analyses and messages displayed in real time will save you coordination, follow-up questions and meetings. You can manage up to three times more projects than before and you can go home in time.

4. View capacities and skills company-wide

Cross-organisational resource management gives you an overview of all available resources with their capacities and skills across the entire company - in real time. This allows you to quickly assess the feasibility of projects based on facts, so that you can increase the success rate of your projects. You can also recognise where potential overloads arise and thus avoid planning mistakes, both in terms of personnel and finances. This allows you to act in a more resource-efficient and sustainable way and to plan more precisely, which is not only contributing to more efficient project implementation, but also increases the trust of your customers through well-founded statements.

5. Avoid discussions between project and line sides

The Staffer function saves you a lot of time in the coordination between the organisations, project and line by showing you whether the line department has exactly the resources you need and is able to make them available.
In addition, the Staffer allows you to allocate staff and entire departments according to upcoming project tasks as well as individual project phases - as granularly as you need. The fine-tuning between project and line organisation allows you to optimally assemble your team according to capacity utilisation and to see in advance who is actually available - thus avoiding endless rounds of discussions and speeding up the release of projects.

6. Deploy staff according to requirements

The capacity analysis shows you at a glance how your employees are currently utilised - by project, department or resource. You can also simulate future capacity utilisation.
In real time, you can use various evaluation methods to see in real time who is available, when and how, and whether exactly the employees whose skills you need are available. This transparency also enables you to assess whether new projects are feasible or which prerequisites have to be created for them. And you can see which skills are particularly in demand now, and furthermore which skills will be needed in the future based on project simulations.

7. Manage and evaluate demands centrally

The Demands function gives you a centralized place to make project requests.
After you have applied for your project, you can assign it in a portfolio and store descriptions of the project, special information and documents.
The completeness bar shows you whether your application contains all the relevant information. Your demand is automatically displayed in the project planner (GANTT) and can already be finely planned and simulated with resources in it. In this way you know very quickly if and when your project could be implemented. The switch display always shows you how far the examination of your project has been progressed.

8. Start feasible projects faster

The function "Approve project proposals" provides you with the most important information such as effort, risk and costs at a glance that you can approve feasible projects more quickly.
Essential routines are smartly automated and all relevant parameters for assessing feasibility are displayed. In the case of multi-stage approval processes, all responsible persons are also stored that the individual approval stages can be run through automatically. This saves you valuable time and your employees can start their projects immediately.

9. Cost overviews: let Can Do and SAP talk to each other

The detailed financial report gives you an extensive and clear overview of all the costs for one and more projects, that you are always well informed and able to provide information.
The total planned costs are compared with the personnel costs based on the time recorded by the employees. If defined and assigned, you can also see the budget status of your project.
The standard interface enables the bidirectional exchange of data between your project and resource management Can Do and common SAP applications.
With the Can Do XML interface server and/or the Can Do Web Service, you can connect to a range of SAP modules such as HR, CRM, BW, SUS and many more. You can simply develop your own SAP interfaces.

10. It's all about you

In the employee suite, you are the centre of attention: here you can find your tasks in a bundle, record and overview your times, see who you are working with and whether you are overloaded.
The personal dashboard is visually presented in such a way that it provides a quick overview: In the speedometer, you can see at first glance whether your hours are in the green or red zone. In addition, you can click here to go directly to the time recording. Activities and tasks appear on the one hand as a list with all the important status information, and on the other hand in a Gantt chart to give you an overview of the project periods.

11. Use smart time tracking

With Can Do, you can quickly and easily record the time you need for the individual tasks in the project: either via the application or mobile via app.

In your employee tile, you can record your times by project, day, week and month, and due to the integration in your personal dashboard, you can always keep and track it. With the Can Do Hours mobile app for Android and iOS, you can record your times in seconds using sliders and report progress with one click. You can also activate the reminder function in the app to always stay up to date. This way, the unloved topic of time tracking becomes simple and easy.

12. Add new staff in the system in seconds

The HR import function saves you time you would have spent on manually creating and updating your organsiational and department structure as well as your staff. You can import a CSV file of your entire workforce along with your organizational departmental structure easily-either one time or periodically.
Data on absences, such as those due to illness, training or vacations, also flow directly into your capacity planning once it's been imported.

13. Achieve hybrid project management by working with Can Do

Can Do is the central platform for project management that helps you to plan and control projects and their resource planning with classic instruments (such as waterfall or network planning techniques). The special feature: Can Do has its own Jira® integration. This means that agile teams can also be integrated into project management with Can Do - agile projects become easier to plan and control. Because the individual agile project teams continue to work with Jira®, the switch to hybrid project management is hardly noticeable on the project level. But from the project management perspective, you'll benefit from much more insight.
