Project Management- When project management software came to market, it didn’t fulfill a need we didn’t know we have. Project managers were long waiting for a tool like it. Spreadsheets mostly handle flat 2D data and can’t fulfill the job of a project management software which is multidimensional. Managing multiple projects with the same resources and personnel would exhaust spreadsheets even faster than imagined. Your projects will suffer as you have to oversimplify everything and remember and manage a lot of matters in your head.
So when project management software, like Microsoft Project hit the market, it generated a lot of excitement amongst project managers and contractors.
I would create relational database applications which are multidimensional to manage the business before project management software hit the market. Relational databases are still a great way to manage a business’s needs.
Project management software is not the complete answer for project success. You need a lot more skills than that. But its like having a flashlight with you in the dark. It helps you see things and do things that you would otherwise miss or not be able to do. You have heard about shortening the critical path for a project to accomplish a project in less time. This works very well with computerized project management, but its not so easy without such a tool. Implementing project management software saves you, time, money, and helps you deliver more in a shorter time. Its good stuff especially for big projects and multiple projects using the same resources and personnel!
I can train you and your staff on computerized project management so you take a leap forward in your business success.
If you run the same project or similar projects over and over again, you can make project templates or even copy projects from the past and update them to better manage the repeat projects without much effort to start planning projects from scratch.
