What types of projects can I carry out in Gouti?

In Gouti, it's possible to carry out many types of projects. The solution adapts to a wide range of business sectors, allowing companies in diverse fields to manage their projects.

The different types of projects that can be carried out in Gouti:

Internal projects: business development, IT deployment, human resources, production, continuous improvement...

External projects: client projects, design, events, industrial projects...

Research and Development projects: engineering, pharmaceutical research, sustainable development...

Gouti is therefore not limited to specific fields or professions. It positions itself as a pragmatic tool dedicated to project portfolio management and adaptable to the sector of activity of organizations.

While it's possible to carry out many distinct types of projects in Gouti, it's also possible to find different types of user profiles. Gouti adapts to the different profiles involved in projects:

The “collaborator”: they carry out the tasks assigned to them by the project manager.

The “project manager”: they monitor and control the activities of the collaborators.

The “manager”: they supervise the activities of the project portfolio.

Application based on project type

In Gouti, it is possible to define the key dates of a project. These are called milestones. They are the major milestones to be reached during the project's execution. In the context of a construction project, you plan the main milestones that correspond to the key dates of construction, such as finalizing the plans, obtaining the building permit, or the completion of the work. You define the main “chapters” of the development and you track the project's progress step by step.

The predecessor method allows you to define the step(s) to be completed before moving on to the next ones. For example, in an IT deployment, the project is broken down into several chapters, beginning with the Proof of Concept (POC). This key step must be completed to continue the project, before moving on to specifications, development, installation, pilot testing, and then deployment.

This example can be applied to several types of activities, such as energy solution design and installation projects, which also require following well-defined steps and schedules.

Furthermore, Gouti offers several features useful to each sector of activity. The project portfolio, for example, provides a comprehensive overview of all ongoing projects. This view can be practical for an IT department that needs to manage numerous projects and resources simultaneously. This example is relevant in most sectors of activity that are increasingly required to manage more and more projects concurrently.

A company may have to manage internal, external, and R&D projects. The ability to manage a portfolio of projects makes Gouti a tool perfectly suited to the realities of today's organizations.

Furthermore, effective project management requires monitoring and a comprehensive overview. This makes it much easier to develop an action plan to address any problems that arise. For example, a researcher might encounter issues related to deliverable deadlines, costs, and the complexity of their research field. They can document these problems and add comments to share the solutions found, or the impossibility of resolving the issue, with their colleagues within Gouti.

All the solutions you find for the various problems you encounter can be saved. A knowledge-sharing module allows you to create fact sheets that document past experiences and best practices. This creates a practical knowledge base that your colleagues can access, reinforcing the benefits of experience and continuous improvement.

Project management in Gouti is therefore applicable to diverse and varied fields. Current clients come from multiple and distinct sectors of activity. Gouti is a pragmatic and easy-to-use solution, but it primarily addresses the need for adaptability among its clients in relation to their specific business areas.
