Project Management Software for Your Learning Management System! 5 Ways to Increase Efficiency

If you have been through a learning management system implementation, you know that waiting is the hardest part. That’s especially true when you are not sure how your vendor is progressing or where your learning management system is on the priority list, despite being on the phone with you vendor 17-odd times a day. We want to upend that model and keep the wait from frying you and your team.

Learning Management Systems


Imagine your learning management system implementation as a digital pizza tracker. What if, in real time, you could watch your learning management system being built, integrated, and launched? What if the second you ‘placed your order’ you could watch your learning management system be handled carefully and efficiently by your learning management system vendor?

With Atrixware, you can. From our first conversations with clients, we assign a project manager, learning solutions advisor, and technical support specialist to every project. We also give clients access to project management software called Axis LMS we use. So they can see where their new learning management system is during every phase of implementation.

How Axis Learning Management System Benefits Our Clients: Know Here!

Secure File Transfer and Versioning:

Versioning a file allows you to post multiple versions to the site without worry of losing the previous version. During the planning window of learning management system projects, it’s imperative that all parties have a single location for file storage and that those files and mock ups be easily tracked. With versioning capability, Atrixware tracks any file changes and new uploads while still keeping the previous versions available for downloading or viewing.

Easy Project Progress Review:

Milestones show the roadmap for the project moving forward and provide a snapshot to stakeholders. Milestones can also be assigned so that clients can track their own project related items on the same site as the Atrixware project. For example, if while implementing a learning management system, your company would like to create a new branding strategy, your project manager can help create milestones specific to that new branding project in the learning management system project site. This allows you to plan for both the learning management system project and branding project in one place.

Task Management:

The project management office can assign tasks to the project team in an area that’s clearly displays them for easy tracking. The site also allows for subtasks, time-tracking, file upload to a task, and full message threads on specific tasks. All these features ensure that clients are always able to see the project details in an easy-to-navigate site.

Comments and Messaging:

No more digging through emails. Atrixware utilizes the project management messaging tab and comments to ensure that all communications are tracked and easy to reply to. Any time Axis LMS sends a design mock-up or other document, clients can make comments directly on the file. Mock up changes and versions are also tracked in one easily accessible place.

Contact Info:

The project site houses all the contact information for anyone on the project. This one location can make it much easier to reach out to someone as there’s no need to dig through emails or create a contact list. Feel free to ask your project manager to create additional contacts to track your own vendors as needed.
