'I'm assuming her point is that few lawyers understand or respond to the jargon of project management and that it is better to clothe it in 'case management' or 'litigation support.' I understand why she would recommend this, but I also think that most law firms need to make fundamental changes in how they manage their work and that this requires a different mindset. I worry that trying to hide project management within business-as-usual will frustrate the transformation required for law practices to truly benefit from the efficiency and quality improvements that a legal project management program can create.'
Of course, I realize that getting firms to overhaul how they monitor their legal work is a much larger challenge than getting them to at least buy into adopting some project management best practices, even if disguised as 'case management.'
It's great to see folks like you discussing project management with your law firm clients. Keep it up! 3 years ago Reply
I personally prefer to use the terms 'case management' or 'litigation planning' instead of project management. They are perhaps less precise, but sound more familiar to lawyers and don't carry the 'baggage' of PM terminology that many lawyers associate with anything BUT their litigation cases.
