Hello,
Our Federal client uses WBS for Inter-Agency Agreements. They use a simple structure to collect costs and define budget availability at the WBS level. They also have a need for a Project Management tool, with milestones, resource tracking, etc. However, this would not easily integrate with the way that they use WBS for financial purposes due to the structure that the business needs have for a higher level Project Management approach. The WBS currently represent individual agreements, whereas the Project Management function would span many agreements. The agency would not like to move away from the current financial structure.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way to either forward or somehow statistically shadow the WBS that are used for financial purposes into a parallel Projects setup. Is that possible? I know that you can have a cost center and statistical WBS, but don't know if there's a way to do it with two Projects structures. Please let me know your thoughts / suggestions.
Best regards,
Tony
