During program initiation, the organization already uses separate scheduling, defect-tracking, and financial systems for each of four interdependent projects. Executives complain about delayed status roll-ups and inconsistent metrics. The program manager must select a PMIS capability that will most quickly enable consolidated visibility and evidence-based decisions while preserving existing tools. Which capability should the PMIS emphasize?
Basic email and chat functionality to improve cross-team communication.
Middleware or API-based data integration that aggregates information from existing project systems into shared dashboards.
A standalone scheduling engine that replaces each project's local schedules.
A role-based document repository for storing signed deliverables only.
A middleware or API-based data-integration layer allows the PMIS to pull real-time information from each project's existing systems, normalize it, and present consolidated dashboards. This directly addresses the executives' need for timely, consistent metrics and supports program-level decision-making. Replacing schedules, relying solely on email/chat, or adding a document repository would not resolve data fragmentation or enable real-time program oversight.
