Zolvd

Everything a PMO actually needs to stay in control

From org and role governance through to automated client reporting — built around the real operational sequence a fibre network operator's delivery team follows, not a generic project-tracker template.

Organisation and role governance, built in from day one

Zolvd for Teams is org-scoped, not single-user — every project, RAID item, and report sits under an organisation, with role-based visibility layered on top.

Five role tiers

Owner/Admin (PMO Manager), Contributor (PM), Specialist (scoped-write, e.g. Access Planning), Limited (Sales/KAM, own-client visibility only), and External/Portal for vendors and customers.

Scoped visibility, not an afterthought

Sales/KAM sees their own clients' project status and RAG — never RAID specifics or internal escalation notes. A PM sees their own portfolio; only the PMO Manager sees the comparative view across every PM.

Temporary delegation

A PMO Manager can delegate approval authority to a specific PM for a defined window — cover for leave or illness, without creating a permanent second admin tier.

Sized for real SME teams

Built for organisations of up to ~20 users — a PMO Manager, several PMs, an Access Planning specialist, one or two Sales/KAM seats. Nothing in the design caps membership there; it's a market-sizing assumption, not a technical ceiling.

RAID and RACI, enforced — not just on paper

Created ahead of external scoping, never retrofitted after something has already gone wrong.

Full RAID Log

Type, deliverable, description, impact, probability, owner, status, next action, and due date — tracked per project, rolled up company-wide.

RACI Matrix that scales with complexity

A Standard project defaults to a minimal RACI (PM, PMO Manager, client) — never omitted entirely. A Complex project gets the full multi-role matrix. The scaling rule is built in, not manual.

RAID log maintenance, tracked as a metric

The percentage of RAID items with both a next action and a due date is a first-class governance metric — not something you have to eyeball across a spreadsheet.

Change Log and Change Request/CAB, kept distinct

An automated Change Log passively records baseline deviations. A separate, active Change Request workflow routes through CAB approval with its own status lifecycle — Submitted through to Closed.

Three SLA measurements, never blended into one figure

Vendor performance, PM performance, and initiation speed are three different questions. Zolvd tracks them as three different things.

Initiation SLA

Order creation until a PM is assigned — the leading indicator that a new order isn't quietly sitting unactioned.

Vendor SLA

PO sent to vendor handover, scored per vendor and per technology type — with delay fault attribution (vendor-caused, client-caused, or internal-caused), so scorecards are actually fair.

Project Delivery SLA

Order assignment through to UAT sign-off — the PM's own performance window. A miss can reference an underlying Vendor SLA breach or a client-caused delay, rather than judging the PM in isolation.

Computed RAG, with manual override

Red/Amber/Green status is computed automatically from planned-vs-actual variance across timeline, budget, scope, and risk — but a manually set status always wins when one is entered.

Escalation that actually has teeth

A single-level protocol with hard timeframes — not a vague 'raise a flag and hope' process.

Strategic account flag

Set once at the client level by the PMO Manager, inherited by every linked project, overridable per project where warranted.

Dynamic status-based triggers

Consecutive weeks of Red RAG status auto-elevate escalation sensitivity, even for a client that isn't flagged Strategic.

24-hour notification, daily tracking

A PM documents a trigger immediately and notifies the PMO Manager within 24 hours. Once open, progress is tracked daily — not weekly — until formal closure with a resolution summary.

Dashboards built for three different audiences

The same underlying data, surfaced differently depending on who's looking and what they're allowed to see.

Project-level

RAG rollup across timeline, budget, scope, risk, client satisfaction, and resources — visible to the PM on that project and the PMO Manager on any project.

PM-level portfolio rollup

A PM sees strictly their own numbers — project counts, as-sold revenue, SLA compliance. Only the PMO Manager sees every PM, comparatively, avoiding an unhealthy league-table dynamic.

Company-wide

Owner/Admin only. Org-wide RAG tallies across every active project, exportable and directly emailable for Exco-level reporting.

Project Governance Report by PM

RAID log maintenance, RACI completeness, SLA/OLA compliance, escalation handling, WBS adherence, budget adherence, and client communication cadence — one PM's governance discipline, in one place.

Automated triggers — a real library, not a slogan

Nine trigger types drawn directly from how these failures actually happen, checked continuously rather than left to memory.

RAID aging

A high-impact RAID item open beyond 5 business days alerts the PMO Manager directly — before it's forgotten.

SLA reminders and breaches

A 3-day-out reminder before a due date, and an immediate alert the moment one is actually breached.

Order-not-initiated alerts

An order sitting unlinked to a project for more than 2 business days surfaces automatically — no PMO Manager has to remember to check.

As-sold reconciliation

When a project's as-sold rollup drifts from the signed quote total, Sales and the PM are notified directly — a divergence caught early, not at invoice time.

Weekly PM nudge and PIR requests

A weekly reminder to keep the tracker current before stand-down, and an automatic Post-Implementation Review request the moment a project closes.

Client reporting, without the manual admin

The exact governance data a customer should see, sent with one click — not assembled by hand every week.

One-click weekly status email

RAID log, RACI, recent changes, SLA status, and delivery-vs-plan — rendered as a clean, branded HTML email and sent directly to the client contact on record.

A real audit trail

Every send is logged — who sent it, when, to whom, and the RAG snapshot at that moment. Not just a nice-to-have: it feeds a governance metric on client communication cadence.

Client communication cadence, tracked

The percentage of a PM's active projects that actually got a status update in the last 7 days — because quietly skipping weekly updates is exactly the failure mode this system exists to catch.

Commercials, tracked the way telecom actually bills

MRC and NRC — monthly and non-recurring charges — not a generic budget-vs-actual model bolted on afterward.

Signed quote vs. as-sold rollup

The signed quote total, transcribed once by the PM, is the source of truth. The as-sold rollup is derived automatically from linked order/quote line items — and the two are reconciled, not assumed to match.

Budget Tracker

Actuals to date, committed costs, forecast at completion, variance, and contingency used — scoped clearly against what's being actively delivered.
