Sales can’t update the customer on launch status. Engineering spends more time updating Gantt charts than they do actually engineering stuff. Quality can’t find the documentation. Purchasing has no idea when the supplier status is. Sound familiar?
What this means is:
• Products are late
• Quality is unacceptable
• Resources are wasted
• Problems are repeated
What we have found is that Project Management is done with the wrong tools and/or people
• Resources are over-scheduled
• Issues are not resolved
• True costs are unknown / inaccurate
What we have found with Project Management Software
• Tools are cumbersome, force detailed information that is unknown
• People resort back to XLS
• Management cannot support the team and resort to firefighting issues
