Improved Stakeholder Understanding
Clear communication is crucial to keep all stakeholders on the same page. Joe tried written plans, but it was tough to keep everyone at the same level due to their different backgrounds. EdrawMax offers visuals like mindmaps, flowcharts, PERT charts, SWOT analysis, and timelines. This helps create high-level diagrams for less technical people and detailed versions for those with the necessary knowledge. It only takes a few minutes to create professional-quality diagrams in EdrawMax. This promotes better stakeholder understanding by visualizing plans, illustrating critical elements and their relationships.
Better Team Collaboration
EdrawMax has a positive impact on team collaboration in several ways. Joe uses its cloud storage to centralize his strategic plans, project documents, and communication plans. This simplifies the sharing process because relevant team members can access, review and update them with the permissions granted to them. Team communication has also been streamlined since adopting EdrawMax's cloud services. Joe can write comments about the document in the cloud file, and relevant personnel can see and edit it accordingly.
Continuous Performance Review
Joe clarifies roles and responsibilities for every team member to reinforce individual and team efforts. Properly documented reporting structures, mapped workflows, and timelines enable continuous performance reviews, ensuring that everyone knows what is expected of them at any given time. Managers can quickly compare performance against the required threshold and assess the implementation progress using project timelines, work breakdown structures, performance prisms made with EdrawMax.
Choosing EdrawMax as our diagram making software has proved an excellent decision. It serves as the most widely used item in our toolbox as we create and edit plans, PERT charts, performance evaluations, comparison charts, mind maps and much more. It is easy and portable, so whether it's Windows or Mac, it doesn't matter! Highly Recommended.
