Project Pathway
Tool
At the heart of PathMaker lies the unique Project Pathway, the
clearinghouse or roadmap for all project information. In this one
window, you can construct a pathway, track progress towards
goals, launch tools, slide shows, forms and agendas, and show
project highlights.
The Pathway defines the steps required to implement a project.
Each step being associated with one of PathMaker's tools, or with
a document, spreadsheet or other file from another program. All
the information generated by the tools on a single Pathway is
saved in a single file, so you don't have to worry about tracking
many files, possibly in different folders.
After you add a step to the Pathway, a line appears with a
description and a "launch" button which is used to activate the
tool associated with the step. After you carry out the activity
related to the step, you can return to the Pathway and add
another step. Alternatively, you can add several steps to the
Pathway at once and "launch" the tools at random. You can even
construct and store template Pathways for your company's typical
projects, e.g. the "XYZ Company's Problem-Solving Method".
The Pathway can save you an enormous amount of time. Team
leaders, facilitators, steering committees, team members - all
can bring up a project file, review the latest progress, refer to
old work, or add new data. You can say good-bye and good riddance
to messy flipcharts, tedious reports, lost documents, and
floundering teams...when you say hello to PathMaker.
