Projects drifted without anyone noticing

The project plan lived in a spreadsheet nobody updated. Deadlines slipped because nobody saw the dependency chain. By the time leadership asked for a status update, the team spent a day reconstructing where things stood.

Now every project has a pulse

Every project gets a live Gantt timeline, clear ownership, and automatic status tracking. Overdue tasks trigger alerts before they cascade. Leadership sees progress in real time without asking.

Live Gantt timelines with dependencies
Portfolio status across sites in one view
Overdue alerts before cascading delays
Full traceability to strategic goals

What you get

Full traceability

Every action links to its source: a meeting, an audit finding, an 8D report, or a strategic objective. You always know why a task exists.

A3 project management

Structure larger initiatives using A3 methodology. Define the problem, analyze root causes, plan countermeasures, and track results in a single view.

Automatic overdue alerts

When deadlines pass without completion, owners and managers receive automatic notifications. Escalation rules ensure critical actions get attention.

Workload visibility

See how tasks are distributed across team members. Identify overloaded individuals and rebalance work before deadlines slip.

Portfolio governance

One report lists every project and A3 across sites with its leader, completion per phase, open and overdue actions, future-state status and the latest progress highlights. Projects nest in a hierarchy, so a plant, region or group view rolls up the same way. Dependencies between actions and sub-projects move dates automatically when something slips.

From the X-Matrix to a portfolio of projects

Improvement priorities on the X-Matrix become A3 projects with an owner, phases and a KPI. Projects nest in a hierarchy across sites, actions carry dependencies, and status, overdue actions and phase progress roll up into one projects report.

Common questions

How are actions different from regular tasks in project management tools? +
TeamGuru actions carry full context: they know where they came from (meeting, audit, problem report), who is responsible, what strategic goal they support, and what happens if they are overdue. This traceability is unique to an integrated platform.
Can we use Gantt charts? +
Yes. Actions and A3 projects support timeline views with dependencies, milestones, and critical path visualization.
What happens when an action is overdue? +
Configurable escalation rules notify the owner, their manager, or designated escalation contacts. You can define escalation tiers based on how many days past due the action is.
Can external collaborators see actions assigned to them? +
Yes. You can invite suppliers or partners as limited-access users who see only the actions assigned to them, with appropriate context.
Is there an approval workflow for completing actions? +
Actions can require verification by a second person before being marked complete. This is especially useful for corrective actions from audits or quality incidents.
Can we run DMAIC, PDCA or our own methodology? +
Yes. Project templates define the phase structure and the standard sub-tasks inside each phase, so a DMAIC project opens with Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control already laid out, and an A3 follows the PDCA cycle. Different plants or project types can keep different templates, which is how you drive a standard without forcing one on everyone.
Is there a portfolio view across all projects? +
Yes. The projects report shows every action list and A3 across sites with leader, status, completion per phase, open and overdue actions and its place in the hierarchy. Filter by site, owner or strategic objective, and the same report can be sent automatically to the monthly review.
