How it works

A usage scenario, step by step

This is a typical simplified scenario of using PerMaT-RP, from registering a project to obtaining the documentation to justify it.

From planning to the timesheet, in four steps

Project set-up

The manager registers a new project with its own data: the work packages that make it up, the justification periods and the researchers assigned to each work package.

2

Planning

For a work package, the manager assigns the number of planned hours for one or more researchers. PerMaT-RP automatically distributes the hours compatibly with the researchers' other activities.

Change of activities

Researchers can change their activities (confirming attendance at a conference, teaching, sick leave…) by reflecting it in their daily agenda, or adjust the planned hours to the work actually done.

Re-planning

When daily activities change, if this affects the plan previously made, PerMaT-RP re-plans the hours devoted to the corresponding work package to keep the conditions set by the manager.

Justification

The manager obtains the timesheets, generated dynamically by PerMaT-RP (Horizon Europe format or a generic, configurable format), for signature. The signed ones can be stored in the service's document repository.

Data analysis

PerMaT-RP has a data analysis module to monitor and control performance in the organisation's projects, and to improve processes.
