Because EPM provides a big-picture perspective of all project assets, such as staff, equipment and budget, it allows projects to be aligned across departmental boundaries and with key organizational initiatives. This provides visibility to all project stakeholders so that priorities remain in alignment with organizational objectives, and all information is communicated in real-time.

With an EPM solution, resources (internal staff, external consultants) can be centrally managed based on skills and availability from an enterprise perspective. EPM also provides an executive "dashboard" view of all projects within the organization, with the capability to incrementally drill-down to more information. It provides project managers and team members with integrated issue tracking, document management, and risk management capabilities. The EPM environment promotes collaboration between team members within the project and across projects, to facilitate the sharing of documents and related project materials, as well as providing a common workspace for all project activities, events, contacts, and schedule.
