OpenProject makes our project management much easier. The clear Gantt Chart visually supports the planning and can be easily edited. Collaboration in the team is made easier by the fact that all information is available to all project members transparently in one system at all times. In addition, we can optimally document and track the status of the work packages based on the activities.

OpenProject - all information in one application

The Bellikon Rehabilitation Clinic uses OpenProject for all strategic projects. Internal and external team members work together in OpenProject, which contains all project information. There are no additional documents stored on a drive. The Wiki is used instead of Excel or Word files to document contacts or requirements, accesses, product comparisons, FAQs, etc. Meetings are logged in OpenProject. This provides full transparency in the project. Everyone has access to all information at any time from any place.

Not only strategically planned projects are implemented in OpenProject. Because the use of OpenProject is very intuitive, one can work with the project management software with minimal introduction. And only if a software is EASY to use, will it be used.

Which OpenProject features is the Rehabilitation Clinic Bellikon using most?

Work packages

Prioritize and visualise tasks.

The Bellikon Rehabilitation Clinic creates tasks centrally in OpenProject. Responsibilities, status and priority as well as organization-specific information are directly visible and transparent for the team.

Gantt charts

Creation and management of project plans.

The Gantt chart is derived from the task package list. The time planning can be done by drag and drop and can be adjusted and supplemented at any time. Dependencies are also visible.

Meetings

Manage agenda and minutes in one application.

To have all information in one system, the Bellikon Rehabilitation Clinic also uses the OpenProject meeting module. Organization, agenda and minutes are recorded and can be edited together.

Wiki

Documentation and logging of results.

The Rehabilitation Clinic Bellikon largely does without other document management systems and keeps all information in OpenProject. Contact lists or requirements, FAQs etc. are edited, supplemented and updated in OpenProject. This means that everyone has the most up-to-date information available.

Project overview

Project overview at a glance.

To get a quick overview of the status of a project, you can configure the project overview as you need it. With the project status widget, which works like a traffic light system, you can quickly see whether the project is on track.

Bugtracking

Managing bugs fast and efficiently.

The Rehabilitation Clinic Bellikon uses bug tracking to quickly correct errors in development, for example. External partners can easily be integrated into OpenProject and emails are no longer necessary. With the filter, only open bugs can be quickly displayed.
