Automating Project Tracking with SharePoint Development

Church Growth Trust is a charitable organisation who reached out to Syntec to assist with their data management and process needs, they faced the challenge of managing numerous projects simultaneously, leading to manual data entry, inefficient processes, and the risk of potential errors. To streamline their operations and save valuable time, Church Growth Trust sought the expertise of Syntec and their SharePoint development solutions.


Their Challenge

Church Growth Trust struggled with the burden of manually updating SharePoint lists to track the status of their projects and milestones, which proved to be time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies. Their team was in need of an automated solution that could seamlessly capture data from their Project Online projects and update the respective SharePoint lists without any manual intervention.

Our Solution

Syntec collaborated closely with Church Growth Trust to analyse their requirements and design tailored SharePoint development solutions to address their challenges effectively. We implemented two significant projects leveraging Microsoft 365 Power Automate:

  1. Automated Project Status Updates: To eliminate manual data entry and ensure real-time project tracking, we designed a SharePoint development solution that automated the updating of a SharePoint list with the status of Church Growth Trust’s projects. By integrating Microsoft 365 Power Automate with their Project Online projects, data was automatically captured and synchronised with the SharePoint list. This not only saved significant staff time spent on data entry but also ensured accurate and up-to-date project information at all times.
  2. Streamlined Project Milestone Tracking: Church Growth Trust faced difficulties in tracking project milestones across their various Project Online projects. Our SharePoint development team stepped in to design a seamless process that extracted milestone data from individual Project Online projects and updated a top-level SharePoint list with the relevant information. This consolidated view of milestones provided their team with a comprehensive overview of project progress and ensured that no crucial dates were missed.
