When customers, partners, or cross-functional stakeholders need visibility, most PMO teams resort to exporting static PowerPoint slides, creating duplicative spreadsheets, or sending scattered email updates—none of which are real-time, traceable, or scalable.
Program Management Offices (PMOs) are the operational backbone of enterprise-scale initiatives. They juggle resource planning, strategic alignment, stakeholder coordination, and performance reporting—often across dozens of internal tools like:
SharePoint Lists – for internal documentation, task repositories, or approval workflows
ServiceNow – for IT change control, incident tracking, and governance workflows
Trello or Planner – for Agile team collaboration
JIRA, Excel, Smartsheet, MS Project – for project planning and reporting
But here’s the problem:
These tools weren’t designed to be shared outside your organization.
When customers, partners, or cross-functional stakeholders need visibility, most PMO teams resort to exporting static PowerPoint slides, creating duplicative spreadsheets, or sending scattered email updates—none of which are real-time, traceable, or scalable.
The result?
👎 Inconsistent expectations
👎 Duplicate work
👎 Frustrated customers
👎 Project timelines eroding without clear ownership
ezRACI serves as a dynamic, secure bridge between your internal PMO systems and your external customer-facing delivery needs.
It complements your existing toolset—not by replacing your internal stack, but by extending it with:
✅ Dynamic RACI matrices
✅ Interactive Gantt timelines
✅ Role clarity across tasks and deliverables
✅ Integration with Slack, MS Teams, SharePoint, JIRA, and more
✅ Permission-based views for internal vs. external stakeholders
Think of ezRACI as the “customer lens” on top of your PMO programs—translating internal complexity into clear, actionable, and confidently managed delivery paths.
Let’s say you’re managing a global software rollout for a banking client.
Your internal team uses:
JIRA for DevOps delivery
ServiceNow for IT ticketing
SharePoint for documentation and project logs
But your customer has no access to these. They’re left wondering:
What’s going on?
Who’s responsible for this delay?
When are we delivering XYZ?
Now enter ezRACI. You:
Mirror the major milestones and deliverables into a shared Gantt chart
Assign RACI roles to each item: internal teams = full detail, customer = scoped view
Trigger Slack/MS Teams updates to keep both sides informed
Highlight blockers, timelines, and ownership in real-time
Your customer can see the plan, see their role, and see the progress—without touching your internal stack.
ezRACI is built to integrate via RESTful APIs with:
Tool | What it does | How ezRACI helps |
---|---|---|
SharePoint | Document/task lists | Converts lists into RACI-tracked workflows |
ServiceNow | Change control, tickets | Maps tickets to RACI roles for visibility |
Trello | Task boards | Elevates board items to cross-functional tracking |
Smartsheet | Program planning | Adds collaboration, Gantt overlay, and ownership |
JIRA | Dev project tracking | Aligns stories/tasks with customer-facing plans |
Teams/Slack | Communication hubs | Syncs status updates directly to channels |
When PMO teams use ezRACI as an extension of their internal tools, they’re able to:
Eliminate redundant status meetings
Improve customer trust and perception
Track performance and accountability across orgs
Maintain audit readiness with built-in version control
Align internal execution with external expectations
You’ve seen it before. The internal team has a detailed project plan—tracked in SharePoint lists, Trello boards, or buried in a ServiceNow queue—but your customer is left chasing updates through emails, screenshots, or siloed Excel exports.
This causes two critical breakdowns:
Mismatched Expectations – The PMO thinks they’re on track, but the customer feels left out or unclear about deliverables.
Reactive Firefighting – When a customer escalates, everyone scrambles to reconcile timelines, ownership, and priorities that should’ve been visible from the start.
PMO tools manage internal execution. ezRACI manages the bridge to the customer.
ezRACI doesn’t require you to abandon your internal stack. Instead, it lets you mirror or extend key workflows into a shared space—so customers and cross-functional teams stay aligned in real time.
Here’s how it works:
Whether you manage task delivery in JIRA, ServiceNow, or Trello—ezRACI can consume those records and convert them into assignable, traceable objects with RACI mapping.
Example:
A JIRA Epic = Program Milestone
ServiceNow Ticket = Infrastructure Dependency
Trello Card = Feature Request from Stakeholder
All of these can be mapped into one program-level Gantt in ezRACI, with RACI assignments to ensure shared visibility.
While traditional PM tools assign a single “Owner,” ezRACI adds structure:
Role | Meaning |
---|---|
R | Responsible (does the work) |
A | Accountable (owns the outcome) |
C | Consulted (provides input) |
I | Informed (needs updates, not involvement) |
Customers now know:
Who owns a deliverable
Who they should escalate to
Who’s monitoring risk
What their own role is in delivery
Customers and internal teams can visualize progress with ezRACI’s Gantt view:
Visualizes all tasks across phases
Auto-aligns to dependencies
Shows blockers in red
Lets users comment, tag, and sync with Slack/Teams
No more PowerPoints. No more PDFs. It’s a living plan.
ezRACI’s granular permissions allow PMO leaders to show customers only what’s relevant—while giving internal teams full visibility.
Customers see their responsibilities, milestones, and open items
Services, Engineering, and Support teams see the full project footprint
Executives get a high-level milestone view without the noise
This removes the need for separate spreadsheets or filtered reports. You’re working from one source of truth—just seen through different lenses.
Before ezRACI:
PMO tracks tasks in SharePoint and ServiceNow
Customer asks: “What’s the status of our Phase 2 deployment?”
CSM checks 3 tools, emails Engineering, and builds a deck
After ezRACI:
The customer opens the shared ezRACI board
They see Phase 2 → Due May 3 → Assigned to DevOps → Blocked by Test Env
The customer @mentions Support for an update directly in context
Time saved: ⏱️ 2+ hours per status call
Confidence gained: ✅ Priceless
Your internal tools run the machine. ezRACI shows customers it’s working.
It’s not just about planning—it’s about trust, alignment, and proactive communication.
SharePoint is a cornerstone in many PMO environments. It’s used for:
Hosting task lists and milestone trackers
Housing documentation, charters, and RAID logs
Tracking approvals via built-in workflows
But let’s be real—it wasn’t built for:
Dynamic collaboration
Timeline visualization
RACI role clarity
Customer-facing delivery tracking
What you end up with is:
🧱 Static task lists that require constant manual upkeep
🧩 Silos of disconnected information across multiple pages
❌ No shared visibility between internal and external stakeholders
ezRACI doesn’t replace SharePoint—it extends it.
By integrating with SharePoint Lists via RESTful APIs, ezRACI pulls in existing project data and instantly enhances it with:
Feature | SharePoint Alone | SharePoint + ezRACI |
---|---|---|
Task Management | Manual list updates | Dynamic, RACI-assigned, synced tasks |
Visibility | Static tables | Interactive Gantt charts with filter controls |
Customer Collaboration | Requires SharePoint access | Secure, permission-based external views |
Role Clarity | Single owner per task | Full RACI structure (R, A, C, I) per line item |
Audit & Accountability | Workflow history only | Full audit trails, change logs, and accountability mapping |
Use ezRACI’s built-in connector to authenticate with your SharePoint environment
Select your target list(s) to sync—project plans, issue logs, onboarding trackers, etc.
Each SharePoint item becomes a task in ezRACI with:
Description
Due date
Custom metadata
Assigned RACI roles
You now have collaborative ownership across each task, with optional internal vs. customer-facing views.
SharePoint data is instantly overlaid onto an interactive Gantt timeline
You can filter by team, phase, or owner
Timeline adjusts dynamically as tasks are completed or updated
Status changes in ezRACI sync back to SharePoint (if configured)
Internal teams get Slack or MS Teams notifications
External stakeholders see real-time progress without SharePoint access
Before:
SharePoint task list shared via export every Friday
Customer receives a spreadsheet with 40 tasks and no clear owner
Internal teams manually update each item from meetings/emails
After:
SharePoint list synced with ezRACI every hour
Customer accesses a real-time dashboard filtered to their workstream
Each task has R, A, C, I clearly labeled
Gantt view shows dependencies and blockers visually
Slack/Teams sends automated updates every 24 hours
Pain Point:
“I want to give the customer transparency, but I can’t give them access to our internal SharePoint—and building weekly decks is a time suck.”
ezRACI Solution:
Mirror SharePoint list into a secure, filtered view in ezRACI
Use external view mode to show only relevant milestones and blockers
Assign roles and timelines once—no more duplicating effort
Outcome | Impact |
---|---|
Eliminate Redundant Status Decks | Save 5–10 hours per week across PMO leads |
Improve Role Ownership | Faster task accountability with RACI enforcement |
Elevate Stakeholder Confidence | Customers and execs see a live plan—not stale reports |
Strengthen Audit Readiness | Keep a clean trail of updates and ownership changes |
If your SharePoint list is your source of data, ezRACI becomes your source of collaboration.
Together, they evolve from a document repository to a living, actionable delivery platform—one that your customers can finally be part of.
ServiceNow is a powerhouse for IT operations, support cases, and change control. Many PMOs rely on it for:
Change requests (CRs)
Incident management
Problem tracking
Knowledge base workflows
However, ServiceNow is not project manager-friendly, nor is it built for external collaboration. You can’t expect business stakeholders—much less customers—to make sense of:
Complex ticket IDs
Status codes like "In Progress (CAB)"
Fields that only IT understands
Worse, these tickets often represent key milestones or blockers in a delivery timeline—but they’re invisible in your project plan.
Without a bridge between ServiceNow and your project execution platform, you face:
🔄 Repetitive copy/paste into decks or Excel
🧱 Delayed updates that frustrate customers
🎯 Misalignment on when infrastructure tasks affect rollout dates
🧩 Blurred ownership between IT and business teams
ezRACI lets you pull in ServiceNow tickets via API and convert them into visible, contextualized program-level milestones that include:
Real owners
Dependencies
RACI accountability
Customer-facing timelines
Think of it as translating operations into delivery.
ezRACI connects to ServiceNow via REST
Pulls in tickets based on filters: assignment group, project tags, date range, etc.
Each ticket becomes a trackable item in ezRACI:
Incident → Task or Deliverable
Change Request → Milestone
Problem Ticket → Risk or Dependency
You can:
Assign RACI roles
Tag customer-facing vs. internal-only
Sync comments or status notes to Slack/MS Teams
Now, ServiceNow tickets live inside your project plan, visualized alongside:
Development activities
Test cycles
Stakeholder approvals
Customer readiness checks
Pain Point:
“I have critical CRs stuck in CAB, and the customer thinks we’re dragging our feet—but they can’t see what’s really causing the delay.”
ezRACI Solution:
Pull the CAB-ticket into ezRACI
Assign:
R = Infrastructure Team
A = IT Manager
C = Program Lead
I = Customer Success + Client
Timeline shows delay, but also shows it’s not due to delivery or development
Confidence restored → “They’re not ignoring us. They’re waiting on IT.”
Before ezRACI:
IT creates 4 change requests in ServiceNow
PM tracks them in a separate Excel file
Customer escalates because no one updated the plan
After ezRACI:
Change requests imported into ezRACI Gantt view
Assigned RACI roles
Customer sees ticket status, owner, and projected impact
Escalations drop → Alignment increases
Benefit | Description |
---|---|
✅ Unified Timeline | View infrastructure, DevOps, and product delivery in one Gantt |
✅ RACI Mapping | Make clear who owns which ops dependencies |
✅ Real-Time Sync | Tickets update automatically—no need for manual decks |
✅ Reduced Escalations | Customers understand blockers, not just deadlines |
✅ Improved Planning | Plan go-lives around known ServiceNow constraints |
Not all ServiceNow tickets should be shared externally
ezRACI supports role-based filters:
Hide sensitive fields
Restrict internal tickets from public view
Label tasks as customer-visible or internal-only
Your customer doesn’t care about ticket numbers—they care about when they’ll go live and who’s responsible for delays.
ezRACI turns your ServiceNow stack into a transparent delivery platform, aligning operations, engineering, and the customer journey.
Trello is beloved by Agile teams for its visual boards, intuitive UI, and drag-and-drop simplicity. For PMOs, it often serves as:
A team-level kanban board
A simple task tracker for workstreams
A quick fix for departments that don’t want JIRA or MS Project
But when it comes to cross-functional programs, Trello starts to crack.
Common PMO frustrations include:
❌ No dependency management
❌ No timelines or delivery schedules
❌ No RACI roles beyond “Assignee”
❌ No customer-facing view without exposing internal chatter
Trello helps teams stay organized—but it doesn’t help PMOs run multi-team initiatives across departments, vendors, and customers.
Your QA team tracks their release cycles in Trello.
Your Engineering team logs their enhancements there, too.
But when it’s time to align across a program involving Dev, QA, Security, Support, and a customer delivery team, there’s no single source of truth.
And so you fall back on:
Status decks
Manual board exports
“Trello screenshot + Excel spreadsheet” combo updates 😩
ezRACI lets PMO teams pull Trello boards into a central program workspace, add structure, and show progress to internal AND external stakeholders.
Capability | Trello Alone | Trello + ezRACI |
---|---|---|
Task Ownership | One assignee | R, A, C, I roles mapped per task |
Timeline Management | None (manual workaround) | Drag-and-drop Gantt charts with dependencies |
Cross-Project View | Manual card linking | Multi-board rollups into one unified program plan |
Customer Collaboration | Not secure or filtered | Controlled visibility with shareable external dashboards |
Portfolio Reporting | Requires Power-Ups | Built-in task filters, timeline progress, role dashboards |
ezRACI connects directly to your Trello workspace
Import cards by list, label, board, or due date range
Each Trello card becomes:
A task with fields like description, checklist, attachments
A record with assignable RACI roles
A component of a larger workstream (e.g., Release Phase 3)
Drag tasks into ezRACI’s interactive Gantt
Link dependencies across teams
Flag blockers and schedule constraints
Create filtered views for customers
Show only the relevant cards/tasks
Share timelines with comments, status indicators, and progress %
Internal team retains full Trello workflow in parallel
Before ezRACI:
DevOps, QA, and Design all use different Trello boards
PM manually merges updates into a timeline in Excel
Customer receives a confusing summary report with no context
After ezRACI:
Trello cards synced into ezRACI with role assignments
Milestones pulled into shared timeline
Customer has read-only view of timeline + task status
PM filters by owner, phase, and risk level in one dashboard
Pain Point:
“My teams love Trello, but our executive sponsor wants a full project plan, and our customer wants to know who’s behind on which task.”
ezRACI Solution:
Leave teams in Trello
Use ezRACI to consolidate tasks and add clarity
Share clean customer view without disrupting Agile flow
Bonus: Use Slack updates to notify teams of changing priorities
Win | Impact |
---|---|
Stay Agile | Teams keep their tools and workflows |
Get Structure | PMOs track deliverables, risks, owners in one place |
Improve Visibility | Customers and execs get timelines, not just tickets |
Reduce Update Overhead | Eliminate duplicative reporting and exported snapshots |
Increase Role Clarity | Show exactly who’s on point for what—and when |
You don’t have to abandon Trello to scale up.
You just need ezRACI to give your boards a timeline, a bridge to the customer, and a shared sense of ownership.
It’s rarely the Gantt chart, the budget, or the schedule that causes project failure.
It’s the lack of clarity around who’s doing what—especially in cross-functional or customer-facing initiatives.
Most tools only assign a single owner per task. But real-world delivery involves:
Contributors
Decision-makers
Reviewers
Stakeholders who need to be kept in the loop
When these roles aren’t clear, you get:
❓ Missed handoffs
🔁 Endless status meetings
🚨 Escalations from customers who feel left in the dark
😩 Teams unsure of where accountability begins or ends
RACI is a time-tested model for clarifying roles across tasks. In ezRACI, every item in your plan can have:
Role | Definition |
---|---|
R – Responsible | Person(s) doing the work |
A – Accountable | The ultimate decision-maker or owner |
C – Consulted | Experts who must be involved |
I – Informed | Stakeholders who should be updated |
This simple matrix eliminates ambiguity and ensures:
Everyone knows their place in the plan
Ownership is transparent and traceable
Accountability can’t be “dodged” or “assumed”
While RACI charts are typically static (PowerPoint, Excel, Confluence…), ezRACI makes them dynamic and actionable.
Tasks pulled from JIRA, Trello, SharePoint, or ServiceNow
Assign R, A, C, I with just a few clicks
Role assignments show up in dashboards, filters, and exports
Stakeholders get notified when they’re assigned to a task
Comments and updates are logged in real-time
Accountability is tracked automatically in the system
See what YOU are Responsible for
Filter by Accountable owners across departments
Highlight gaps in RACI coverage (e.g., tasks with no “A” assigned)
Show customers only the roles and workstreams they’re part of
Hide internal-only owners or approvals
Preserve internal structure while giving customers clarity
Pain Point:
“I’m responsible for delivering on five workstreams across IT, Engineering, Security, and Support… but I don’t know who’s actually accountable for delays—and neither does the customer.”
ezRACI Solution:
Every task gets an “R” and “A” assigned
Stakeholders are auto-notified when roles change
Gantt shows critical path with role overlay
Portfolio view tracks at-risk tasks based on ownership flags
Before ezRACI:
Task: “Configure SAP Gateway”
Owner: DevOps (vague)
Customer: “Who’s handling this?”
Escalation goes to PM, then bounces between 3 departments
After ezRACI:
Task: “Configure SAP Gateway”
R: DevOps Engineer
A: Infrastructure Manager
C: SAP Consultant
I: Customer IT Team
Status: Blocked — waiting on firewall rules
Customer sees the plan, and the chain of responsibility
Need to show who approved what and when? ezRACI tracks:
Who was Accountable for critical actions
What was completed late and by whom
How decisions were made and communicated
All in an audit-ready format
Perfect for:
SOC 2
HIPAA
ISO 27001
Internal policy enforcement
You can have the best timeline in the world, but without RACI, it’s just a wish list.
With ezRACI, you don’t just plan—you assign, align, and deliver.
PMOs live and breathe Gantt charts—but traditional Gantt tools have limitations:
📄 MS Project files that can’t be shared outside the organization
🧱 Smartsheet or Excel timelines that require constant manual updates
🎭 PowerPoint screenshots that are outdated minutes after a meeting
❌ No direct connection between Gantt bars and real task accountability
The result? Gantt charts become “decorations for steering committees” rather than living plans that drive action.
ezRACI doesn’t just visualize a timeline—it connects it to:
Clear ownership through RACI roles
Real task progress via integrations (Trello, JIRA, SharePoint, etc.)
Real-time updates, blockers, and customer feedback
Role-specific dashboards for different stakeholder groups
With ezRACI, your Gantt chart isn’t just a timeline—it’s the command center for the entire program.
Easily define phases, tasks, dependencies
Adjust dates by dragging—auto-update dependencies
Visualize critical paths and slippage in real time
Every Gantt item is tied to a full RACI matrix
View role assignments alongside each bar
Filter the Gantt by “A” or “R” to see workload by stakeholder
Tasks pulled from tools like JIRA, Trello, or SharePoint are reflected in the Gantt
Updates in ezRACI can push back to source systems (where supported)
No dual entry, no copy-pasting, no lost updates
PMO retains full internal Gantt
Customers see scoped views with only their relevant milestones
Optional status markers: ✅ Complete, 🚧 In Progress, 🛑 Blocked
Share as a link—no logins or decks required
Before ezRACI:
Customer asks for status on UAT migration
PM pulls data from ServiceNow + SharePoint + Excel
Delivers a slide deck with a vague update: “In Progress”
After ezRACI:
UAT migration task appears on shared Gantt
Assigned:
R: QA Lead
A: Delivery Manager
C: Security Architect
I: Customer IT Team
Status: 🚧 In Progress → ETA 5/22 → Notes updated live
Customer clicks link, sees real-time plan + RACI roles
No emails. No confusion. Just confidence.
Pain Point:
“I have seven project plans across different tools—but I can’t show my customer or execs a clean, single-source timeline that reflects reality.”
ezRACI Solution:
Consolidate workstreams into one Gantt view
Assign RACI roles per milestone
Share tailored timeline views with execs or clients
Use blockers + progress indicators to show momentum or risks
Filter timelines by program, team, region, or owner
Color-code by risk, on-track, or priority level
Set auto-reminders for overdue milestones
Roll up to executive summary views
A timeline isn’t helpful unless it tells you who owns it, where it’s blocked, and how it’s progressing—that’s the ezRACI difference.
With ezRACI, the Gantt chart becomes:
A live status tool
A shared reference for teams and customers
A delivery command center that evolves with your program
Every PMO has experienced it:
A 10-minute update turns into a 60-minute meeting
You’re copying the same status into Slack, then Teams, then an email
Someone missed the deck, so you repeat everything in another thread
Customers are pinging for updates… and you just gave one yesterday
Communication breakdown doesn’t come from too little info—it comes from too much friction.
Most project and program tools were designed in a silo. That’s fine for planning—but in reality, your teams and customers spend their day in:
🔵 Microsoft Teams
🟣 Slack
📧 Outlook
Unfortunately, status updates from Trello, JIRA, ServiceNow, or SharePoint don’t land naturally in these channels—and when they do, they’re noisy, cluttered, and uncontextualized.
ezRACI’s native integrations with Slack and Microsoft Teams let PMO leaders automate status updates, surface blockers, and create clarity without forcing another meeting.
Configure alerts by role: only “A”s and “R”s get tagged when relevant
Send daily or weekly digests to channels: “Project Delta Update: 3 tasks overdue, 2 blockers resolved”
Reduce random pings with structured updates tied to real Gantt or task changes
Every item in ezRACI can trigger a Slack/Teams update when:
Status changes (e.g., In Progress → Blocked)
Comments are added
Deadlines shift
Messages are structured and linked back to the source (no need to screenshot or summarize)
PM gets an exec-level digest
Engineers get updates only for tasks where they’re “R”
Stakeholders only see milestones they’re “I” for
No more flooding people with noise they don’t need
Use slash commands or message buttons (coming soon) to:
Acknowledge ownership
Update task status
Drop a comment that syncs back to ezRACI
Challenge | ezRACI + Slack/Teams Solution |
---|---|
“Who owns this update?” | RACI-based notifications and summaries |
“Do I need to attend the sync?” | Automated task/channel digests reduce live meeting need |
“Where’s that status deck?” | Dynamic Gantt links auto-update and replace manual decks |
“Why didn’t we hear about X?” | Blockers are broadcast with context, not delay |
Pain Point:
“I’m responsible for delivery updates, but I can’t keep pasting Gantt screenshots into Teams every week.”
ezRACI Solution:
Configure ezRACI to post project status directly to Teams every Friday
Updates are tied to project IDs with links to Gantt, task, or matrix
Customer gets a structured update in 30 seconds—no manual effort needed
yaml

🔔 [ezRACI] Weekly Update: Project Alpha ✅ 3 tasks completed 🚧 2 tasks blocked (details below) 🛑 Milestone: “UAT Sign-Off” delayed by 3 days 👤 Responsible: DevOps Team 📅 ETA: May 12 🔗 View full Gantt: ezraci.com/project-alpha
Internal-only updates? Configure private channel syncs
Customer-facing milestones? Send filtered views to external Teams channels
ezRACI honors permissions and masks sensitive details by role
With ezRACI’s Slack and Teams integrations:
You stop repeating updates
You keep everyone informed in real-time
You close the customer confidence gap through transparency
It’s delivery status where people already work, not buried in tools they never open.
By design, traditional PMO tools—SharePoint, ServiceNow, Trello, Smartsheet, JIRA—are optimized for internal teams. But the moment a customer or third-party partner asks:
“Can I get visibility into the project plan?”
You hit a wall. Because…
🔒 You can’t give them full access to internal systems
❌ They don’t know how to navigate JIRA, ServiceNow, or Trello
📄 You’re forced to create PowerPoints or static PDFs
😫 Your team spends hours managing manual updates that are outdated by Monday
The outcome?
Customers feel excluded, and confidence erodes.
What PMO teams really need is a way to:
Give customers visibility into what affects them
Show who owns what and when
Highlight risks and progress
Without giving access to the full internal toolchain
And that’s exactly where ezRACI shines.
With ezRACI, you don’t have to choose between transparency and control. You can:
Feature | Internal Teams | External Stakeholders |
---|---|---|
See full program plan | ✅ Full access | 🔎 Scoped views (customer-facing only) |
Assign and edit RACI roles | ✅ Yes | 🔒 View-only or limited edit (configurable) |
Comment and collaborate | ✅ Yes | ✅ With tracked audit logs |
See internal task dependencies | ✅ Yes | 🔒 Hidden unless explicitly shared |
Access sensitive data/tasks | ✅ Yes | ❌ Always masked or restricted by permission |
Assign “External Viewer” or “External Collaborator” to stakeholders
Control exactly which workstreams, milestones, and fields they can view
Internal-only tasks stay private
Comments and updates from customers are logged separately
Create filtered dashboards per customer, region, or partner
Only show tasks tied to their involvement
Customize Gantt view to only display:
Customer milestones
Blockers involving their team
Items requiring their sign-off
Customers can add comments, tag team members, and confirm updates
All changes are logged and traceable
No risk of editing internal timelines or fields unless granted access
Pair customer view in ezRACI with Slack/MS Teams sync
Customers get updates in the platform and their preferred communication tool
Reduce update emails—improve trust
Before ezRACI:
PM shares a PDF every Friday
Customer wants a change mid-week, but the plan is stale
Internal team misses dependency, causing delay
Customer escalates due to lack of transparency
After ezRACI:
PM grants “External Viewer” role to customer team
Gantt updates reflect in their filtered dashboard
Customer comments on a dependency risk
Team adjusts timeline in real-time—no escalation needed
Pain Point:
“My customer is involved in half the project, but I can’t give them access to ServiceNow or our internal SharePoint.”
ezRACI Solution:
Grant view-only access to their milestones
RACI roles clarify their team’s expectations
Blocked items are flagged automatically
Internal vs. external threads are separated
Outcome | Value Delivered |
---|---|
✅ Controlled Customer Visibility | Share what matters—hide what doesn’t |
✅ Reduced Manual Reporting | Eliminate recurring decks and PDFs |
✅ Real-Time Collaboration | Improve turnaround time on customer dependencies |
✅ Reduced Escalations | Customers feel involved, not ignored |
✅ Audit-Ready Trails | Track what was said, done, and acknowledged externally |
Projects fail not because of poor execution, but because stakeholders feel out of sync.
With ezRACI, PMO teams shift from reactive project managers to proactive collaborative leaders, delivering with confidence—while keeping the right people informed at the right time.
In today’s enterprise environments, PMOs are under more pressure than ever:
Deliver outcomes across fragmented teams
Show quantifiable ROI to executive sponsors
Align delivery with evolving business goals
Keep customers engaged and confident
But how can a PMO lead with confidence when:
Work is scattered across JIRA, ServiceNow, Trello, and SharePoint?
Stakeholders get lost in Slack channels and emails?
Customers feel disconnected from delivery progress?
