PM-Command-Centre-Quick-Guide.doc

A live operational hub for your project. Paste in meeting notes, let the AI extract the structured data, and track everything from budget to risks - all in one place, all connected.

Getting started

Up and running in three steps

1

Create a project

From the Portfolio Dashboard, click + New project. Give it a name and it's ready. You can run multiple projects and switch between them at any time.

2

Paste your meeting notes

Go to Meeting Input and paste in your notes - raw text is fine. The AI pulls out decisions, actions, risks, budget items, milestones, assumptions, and dependencies automatically.

3

Review, tick, commit

A review panel shows everything the AI found. Tick what you want to keep, untick anything off-mark, and if something has been filed in the wrong place use its Add as dropdown to send it elsewhere - decision to change, change to risk, whatever it should have been. Then hit Add selected to reports and the data flows into the relevant sections immediately.


The sections

What's in the Command Centre

Thirteen sections, all updated by Meeting Input or added to manually.

00
Portfolio Dashboard

All your projects at once - RAG health, decisions needed, and pending change requests across the board.

01
Project RAG Summary

Red / Amber / Green status for the current project. Quality auto-calculates from Schedule, Budget and Risk, with a manual override. Open decisions, overdue actions and pending changes at a glance.

02
Meeting Input

Paste raw notes. AI extracts structured data across all sections. Review and commit what's relevant.

03
Assumptions Log

Things you're assuming to be true. Mark Valid, At Risk, or Broken - escalate broken ones to the Risk Register in one click.

04
Budget

Track budget lines with allocated, spent, and forecast amounts. Totals calculated automatically.

05
Schedule

Milestone list - planned date, forecast date, owner, and status per milestone.

06
Calendar

Monthly view of milestone dates, risk deadlines, issue deadlines, and decision dates together.

07
Timeline (Gantt)

Status-coloured bars with variance labels. Range buttons switch between Fit, Month, Quarter and Year. All projects puts every project on one axis in its own lane. Click any row to drill down.

08
Risk Register

Open / In Progress / Closed. Click the status to cycle it, ✓ to resolve. Search and filter by owner or status. Grouped and sorted by likelihood.

09
Decision Log

Log decisions with owner and date. Attach actions directly to decisions. Overdue items surface automatically.

10
Change Log

Formal change requests: Pending, Approved, or Rejected. Tracks cost impact, schedule impact, and drawing references.

11
Issue Tracker

Open issues with owner, deadline, and a blocking flag for anything stopping the project cold.

12
Dependency Tracker

What is waiting on what - and who owns the blocker. Statuses: On Track, At Risk, Blocked. Populated from Meeting Input when notes mention "blocked by", "waiting for", or "can't start until".

13
Lessons Learned

The post-mortem log: what to carry into the next project and what not to repeat. Closing a risk or issue offers to record it here, carrying the title, impact and your resolution note across.
