R3 Program Management enables you to manage the soft work of GovCon Program Management. There are many activities that program managers need to initiate, manage and track that involve people from across the organization. Using R3 My Work you can define and automate these business processes in order to streamline the work. In this article, we’ll look at some that might apply to your situation.
Let’s start by listing some examples of common processes that relate to GovCon Program Management…

R3 My Work as Your Bridge to Others
As program manager you need people across the organization to get work done to succeed. You don’t necessarily want these people to be using your program management application as you would have to train and support them. My Work sits outside of your Program Management application. It is a single place for people to go to get their work done for any processes related to any applications. For you, it acts as a bridge to get people from across the organization to willingly participate in processes. Since you depend on others to move your program work forward, the more people agree to follow a process that has visibility and can be tracked – the better it is for you.
You’ll be able to define and automate some processes that are within your “area”. For other processes, you will most likely have to use the other departments’ processes and use their unique tools if they are available. However, in many cases there are no automated processes in place. Armed with My Work, you can make it easy for the group to define and automate the processes you need. The work is easier for everyone because they can work in one interface across processes and departments. It is kind of “neutral ground” for cross-organizational work.
Summary
Your program work will be easier and more manageable if you are able to use streamlined processes to initiate and track the work with others across the organization. My Work can be used to put these processes in place and it is easy and convenient for users to use because they only have one place to go to get the work done.
