Project Management is a comprehensive project-portfolio management platform for the Dolibarr ERP, designed specifically for construction and infrastructure companies. It enables a contractor to steer many concurrent projects across multiple sites, decompose each project into work lots by trade, and keep continuous control over budgets, subcontractors, procurement, milestones, progress, documentation and risk — all from a single, modern dashboard enriched with charts, an interactive Gantt planning board and decision-oriented analytics.

The module is inspired by DigiParc's project-management solution and translates that discipline into the Dolibarr environment. Rather than managing a project as an isolated task list, Gestion des Projets treats the project as a financial and operational hub: every lot, purchase order, invoice, expense, milestone and acceptance report is connected back to the project so that forecast, committed and actual budgets always reconcile, and so that delays or overruns surface early as actionable alerts.

1.1 Who it is for

·       Construction and civil-engineering companies running several building or infrastructure projects in parallel.

·       Project directors and project managers who need a consolidated portfolio view of cost, schedule and progress.

·       Procurement and financial controllers tracking commitments, subcontractor invoices and cash exposure.

·       Site managers coordinating lots, interventions, meeting minutes and acceptance reports on the ground.

1.2 Value proposition

·       End-to-end budget control. Forecast, committed and actual budgets are tracked at project and lot level, so consumption and commitment rates are always visible.

·       Trade-based structure. Work lots align with real construction trades (earthworks, structural works, HVAC, electrical, VRD, and more), matching how the site is actually organised.

·       Subcontractor governance. Assignments, purchase orders, invoices and ratings keep the subcontractor relationship measurable and auditable.

·       Proactive risk management. Automatic alerts flag budget overruns, schedule delays, milestone deadlines, unpaid invoices and unresolved reservations.

·       Decision-ready analytics. A rich dashboard, a Gantt planning board and a reporting suite turn operational data into management insight.

·       Native Dolibarr integration. Third parties, users and multi-entity support are reused directly, avoiding duplicate master data.

The table below summarises the principal functional areas delivered by the module.

 

The module is built around 16 business objects. Every object provides a list view (with search filters, column show/hide and coded-enum status badges) and a card (detail) view. Objects are grouped below by functional area. All tables use the gpr_ prefix and monetary values are expressed in Moroccan Dirham (MAD).

3.1 Projects & Sites

Project type values: Building, Industrial, Infrastructure, Civil engineering, Development, Rehabilitation. Site cities: Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech, Fez, Agadir.

3.2 Lots & Budgets

Lot domains: Technical studies, Earthworks, Structural works, Steel structure, Fit-out, Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Networks & telecom, Roads & utilities (VRD), Equipment, Development.

3.3 Subcontractors & Commitments

3.4 Financial (Purchase Orders, Invoices, Expenses)

Expense types: Labour, Materials, Equipment, Subcontracting, Studies, Other.

3.5 Planning & Milestones

Milestone types: Kick-off, Delivery, Acceptance, Validation, Payment, Meeting.

3.6 Documentation & Site Records

3.7 Governance & Alerts

Alert types: Budget overrun, Schedule delay, Milestone deadline, Unpaid invoice, Unresolved reservation.

 

The portfolio dashboard is the module's landing page. It consolidates the status of the whole portfolio into a single screen combining key-figure cards, budget and progress visualisations, and live operational tables.

4.1 KPI cards

A row of key-performance-indicator cards presents the headline figures of the portfolio:

·       Total projects

·       Projects in execution

·       Planned projects

·       Completed projects

·       Active subcontractors

·       Sites

4.2 Charts & visualisations

4.3 Operational tables

·       Open alerts — the current risk signals, ordered by severity, so managers can act immediately.

·       Recent activity — the latest events across the portfolio, fed by the activity log.

The planning board renders the portfolio's work lots as an interactive Gantt chart. Lots are grouped by their parent project and positioned along a month-based timeline, giving an at-a-glance view of how the trades of every project overlap in time.

5.1 Capabilities

·       Month timeline. Lots are laid out across a continuous month scale spanning the portfolio's active period.

·       Today marker. A vertical marker highlights the current date, so slippage against plan is immediately visible.

·       Status colouring. Each lot bar is coloured according to its status (planned, in progress, completed, suspended).

·       Progress fill. Each bar carries a fill proportional to the lot's progress percentage.

·       Project grouping. Bars are organised under their parent project for structural readability.

·       Project filter. The board can be filtered to a single project to focus on one worksite.

The reporting module delivers decision-oriented analytics that aggregate the operational data along the axes most relevant to portfolio governance.

 

Access is governed by seven functional permission groups, each offering read, write and delete rights, plus a dedicated administration permission. When the module is activated, read and write rights are granted by default so the team can begin working immediately; delete and administration rights can then be tuned per user or user group through Dolibarr's standard permission management.

Gestion des Projets is a native Dolibarr module and reuses the platform's core services rather than duplicating them.

·       Third-Parties (Societe). A hard dependency. Clients / project owners and subcontractors are linked to native third-party records, so commercial master data is maintained in one place.

·       Users. Project managers, site managers, authors and approvers reference native Dolibarr users, and permissions plug into the standard user/group model.

·       Multi-entity. The module is multi-entity aware, so it can operate within a specific entity in a multi-company Dolibarr installation.

·       Standard UI conventions. List views, cards, search filters, column show/hide and status badges follow Dolibarr's standard interaction patterns, so users familiar with Dolibarr are immediately productive.

·       Menus and dictionaries. The module registers its own top and left menus and status dictionaries, integrating cleanly into the Dolibarr navigation.

9.1 Installation

The module is installed like any Dolibarr module: place it in the modules directory and enable it from Home > Setup > Modules. On activation it creates its gpr_ tables, registers its menus and permissions, and grants read/write rights by default. The Third-Parties module must be enabled beforehand.

9.2 Demo dataset

To help teams evaluate the module and to illustrate the dashboards, a realistic Moroccan construction demo dataset can be installed — and just as easily removed — from the module's setup page. The demo portfolio comprises:

Because the dataset is fully installable and removable, evaluators can populate a live-looking portfolio for demonstrations and then restore a clean state without residual data.
