Multi-project management at a glance - a manager's day with the dashboard

Written by Sebastian Krumeich | Jun 16, 2025 11:49:21 AM

It’s 7:30 a.m. Somewhere in Germany.

The first coffee is brewing. A quick chat in the kitchen, then off to the desk. You open your inbox – and the usual chaos begins.

Project A in China? No status report – although the deadline was yesterday.

Project B in South Africa? Delivery didn’t arrive. The construction site is at a standstill.
Your phone rings, your inbox explodes, and you try desperately to stay on top of everything.

Sound familiar?

Welcome to a typical day in the life of a plant engineering project manager.

 

Master of Coordination: What Project Managers Really Need

Project managers in industrial plant engineering are true multitasking pros. They juggle deadlines, construction phases, and align with countless stakeholders – often across different time zones. And not just for one, but for several large-scale projects.

The critical factor: communication. If information arrives late, reports are incomplete, or everyone uses different tools, you quickly lose visibility. And with it – control.

What you need is a central control hub – a dashboard that shows you everything at a glance.


The COMAN Dashboard: Your Command Center for All Projects

With the COMAN Dashboard, you have the status of all your projects at your fingertips – visually, clearly, and in real time.

Whether KPIs, graphics, or interactive maps: all important information is automatically synced and aggregated in one place. You see immediately what’s on track – and where you need to jump in.

Sven Kägebein, Managing Director of COMAN, puts it simply:
“Project managers don’t have much time. With the dashboard, you get the full project status in one glance – that’s absolutely essential!”

Compare Projects, Spot Details, React Faster

Want more than just a status update?

The COMAN Dashboard goes further:

  • Compare multiple projects side by side

  • View ramp-up curves

  • Identify overall trends

  • Jump straight into the LoP app or COMAN Mobile

This way, you can not only track what has happened, but take proactive measures – before a small issue turns into a major delay.

 

A Typical Day – Only Smoother

 7:30 a.m. Coffee’s ready. You open the COMAN Dashboard.
China? Almost done, all systems go.

South Africa? 12% delay – but one click shows you: the problem is documented, tracked, and under control.

No panic. Just time for a second coffee.

 

Built with the Best

COMAN is not just another tool. It’s a solution developed together with project managers from leading corporations like Volkswagen, Daimler, and BMW – tailored for real-world challenges in industrial project management.

Because we know: only those who stay on top of things can make big things happen.
