5 Pitfalls of Project Management Software Implementation
Why Project Teams Are Adopting PPM Tools
The struggle - Single desktop tools:
MS Project
Excel
Word
Cocktail Napkins? Yes.
Approximately 90% of our prospective customers do not use an enterprise project and portfolio management solution.
The Benefits of Adopting PPM Tool
Centralizes all projects in one place
Provides visibility and transparency into all
projects and their status
Allows management to understand resource
workloads’ for betting forecasting
Provides project managers with standardized
processes
Give executive management real-time reports and
information for better decision making
So what can possibly go wrong?
Lack of Leadership or Sponsorship
Even when the leaders themselves see
the value of a tool, make sizeable
investments in the solution, when the
rubber meets the road, they leave the
project to chance. They lack leadership
and sponsorship. EPIC FAIL!
No Communication Plan or Weak Communication Plan
Plan for REGULAR meetings
Remind your team why this is important
Set the example – Everyone from the top-down needs to utilize the software
Communication is Key
No Incentives to Change
Figure out if your organization
is a ‘carrot’ organization or a
‘stick.’ That will help you
define how you will incentivize
people to make the change.
Trying to ‘Go it Alone'
Doing everything yourself or what we call the
cowboy approach is only good for small teams.
Ask for help
Get you team involved
Help others
Don’t be that guy
Implementing Software Without Considering Your Business Process
PPM software is just a tool. You need to
consider weaving in the aspects of your
business process that work well and upgrade
the parts of your process that are not
working well, and then integrate that with
your new solution.
