Enhancing Project Visibility and Management

Dr. R led a major research project on early childhood education and cognitive development, needing an efficient way to monitor file uploads and project progress.

Background

Dr. R, a Principal Investigator (PI) at a distinguished university, was leading a critical research project on the effects of early childhood education on cognitive development.

The project involved a large team of researchers, data collectors, analysts, and administrative staff.

Dr. R needed a streamlined way to oversee the project’s progress, particularly to monitor file uploads and completions.

Challenges

Before implementing our new Teams feature, Dr. R encountered several challenges

• It was difficult for Dr. R to keep track of the number of files uploaded and completed by her team.
• Frequent check-ins were required to get updates, leading to major delays.
• Ensuring that only authorized team members had access to specific data was a significant concern.
• Assigning and managing roles for a large team was complex and time-consuming.

Solution

Landmark Associates introduced a new feature that allowed Dr. R to create a dedicated research team with customized roles and permissions, enhancing visibility and management of the project.

✔ Dr. R assigned specific roles to team members:

• Data Collectors: Granted access to upload new data files.
• Data Analysts: Given access to download and analyze the uploaded files.
• Administrative Assistants: Limited to accessing invoices and administrative documents.

✔ Dr. R was added to the research team with full visibility of all activities, including file uploads and completions.
✔ The new feature provided Dr. R with a dashboard showing real-time updates on the number of files uploaded and their status.
✔ Only team members with assigned roles could access relevant data, ensuring data security.

Customized Role Management: Enhance Team Efficiency with Targeted Permissions and Roles

Implementation

Dr. R improved her early childhood education project by forming a dedicated team with specific roles, using a dashboard to track progress in real-time, and enhancing communication to reduce frequent check-ins.

✔ Created a dedicated team for the project with clearly defined roles and access permissions.
✔ Used the dashboard to monitor real-time progress, including the number of files uploaded, processed, and completed.
