- 2. 4 REASONS WENEED TO FIND BUDGET FOR WORK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
- 3. Budgets are tight.At first glance, our numbers show we can’t afford to implement an enterprise work management solution. "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail." —Abraham Maslow INTRODUCTION
- 4. The truth is… the data says otherwise. More than half of projects have at least two of: • Taking 180% of target time to deliver • Consuming 160% of estimated budget • Delivering under 70% of the target required functionality1 INTRODUCTION
- 5. This presentation willshow 4 sobering reasons why the right tool to manage our entire lifecycle of work, including projects, is not a luxury but a necessity. INTRODUCTION
- 6. WHY SHOULD WECARE?
- 7. WHY SHOULD WECARE? Challenges We Face • Random Input Process • Inefficient Use of Time • Disconnected Activities and Tools • Low Tool Adoption • Poor Visibility (Work and Resources)
- 8. THIS IS US RANDOM INPUTS POORVISIBILITY LOW PRODUCTIVITY LATE OVER BUDGET INCOMPLETE/FA ILED
- 9. WHY SHOULD WECARE? 2 3
- 10. What is thedefinition of failure? • Work delivered late • Went over budget • Delivered minus requested features/functions WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
- 11. • Lost workleads to panic • Missed deadlines gets you angry stakeholders/customers • Costly, duplicated work ends up in finger pointing • Too many tools results in confusion and frustration • Unable to prioritize leads to fire drills WHY SHOULD WE CARE? What’s the result of failure?
- 12. Would you liketo see this improve on our team or in our department? “Change is vital, improvement the logical form of change.”—James Cash Penney WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
- 13. REASON #1: ProjectsOver Budget and Behind Schedule
- 14. • Data onprojects shows the failure rate is increasing at 15% per year.4 • Only 2.5% of companies successfully completed 100% of their projects.5 REASON #1: PROJECTS OVER BUDGET AND BEHIND SCHEDULE
- 15. • 62% ofprojects overrun on time.5 • 49% of projects overrun on budget.6 • 47% of projects suffer from higher than expected maintenance costs.7 REASON #1: PROJECTS ARE OVER BUDGET AND BEHIND SCHEDULE
- 16. REASON #2: PoorPlanning, Analysis, and Visibility
- 17. • 76% ofcompanies say the biggest priority is to improve visibility and awareness of projects across the organization.8 • 60% – 80% of project failures can be attributed to poor requirements gathering, analysis, and management9 REASON #2: DISCONNECTED TOOLS FOR PLANNING AND VISIBILITY
- 18. • 25% –40% of spending on projects is wasted as a result of re-work10 • Up to 80% of budgets are consumed fixing self-inflicted problems11 • 50% of projects are rolled back out of production12 REASON #2: DISCONNECTED TOOLS FOR PLANNING AND VISIBILITY
- 19. REASON #3: Informationand Work Overload
- 20. Enterprise workers aredrowning in information, only part of which is relevant or useful. • Information overload cost the U.S. economy almost $1 trillion in 2010.13 • 28 billion hours is lost annually to information overload.14 REASON #3: INFORMATION AND WORK OVERLOAD
- 21. • 66 percentof workers don't have enough time to get their work done.15 • 94 percent feel overwhelmed by information to the point of incapacitation.16 REASON #3: INFORMATION AND WORK OVERLOAD
- 22. REASON #4: LostProductivity (and $) to Email
- 23. • 100 emailscan consume 50% of a worker’s day17 • This could cost our company more than $20,000 per person, per year • Based on an average salary of $42,979 in 2011 REASON #4: LOST PRODUCTIVITY (AND $) TO EMAIL
- 24. • For every100 people who are unnecessarily copied on an e-mail, eight hours are lost.18 • A Fortune 500 company estimates this lost productivity has a yearly impact of $1 billion.19 REASON #4: LOST PRODUCTIVITY (AND $) TO EMAIL
- 25.
- 26. These 4 reasonsshow how important the right tool to manage all of our work will be. The right tool is one that solves each problem. CONCLUSION
- 27. The right toolis AtTask. Based on average licenses, users, and average time spent in AtTask managing work, the maximum payback period for the solution is five months. CONCLUSION

- #7 But before I get into the 4 reasons, let’s answer the question: why should we care?
- #8 [Optional Notes]5 challenges come up again and again as by far the most troubling. Is that what you’re seeing too, or would you add something else to the list?I’ve been looking into a solution for a reason. (Either the tool you have doesn’t work, or you don’t have a tool.)We have a fragmented and siloed work experience that limits visibility (visibility is incomplete, inaccurate, takes effort and time), which results in poor productivity (inability to justify resources, wasted time and effort, poor alignment, poor collaboration, etc.), all of which can lead to project failure (over budget, over time, under resourced, or outright failure).You need to know: 1) Who’s working on what 2) are they working on the right stuff 3) do they have the resources they need 4) is it on time?Instead, we get:Random Input Processes – No one knows the ‘correct’ way to make a request or get work placed into the queue.Inefficient use of time - Spend too much time on phone calls, emails, desk visits, and status meetingsDisconnected activities – Strategy direction disconnected from commitments disconnected from work lifecycle (prioritization, planning, etc.) disconnected from performance tracking and management disconnected from recognition. Point solutions abound, disconnected from everything.No Adoption – Project managers, team members, and managers don’t engage in the tool because the tool is not relevant to their work, and has terrible usability)Poor visibility into work - Different siloed tools for every person and team (documents, projects, status updates using excel, email, white boards…)Lack resource visibility - Inability to see how effectively or ineffectively resources are utilized to deliver on business commitmentsThe system you have only manages 1 kind of work—Project Work. Is that all you do? Or is the lifecycle of work bigger than that?
- #9 Animation instructions [and optional notes]Click 1:We have multiple teams, like corporate or operations, security and compliance, a help desk, internal developmentWe don't have a single, uniform and integrated way to manage all the types of work. We have 5, 10, even 20 different point solutions to manage its work.Click 2:This problem first starts showing up when people start asking for work to get done by calling, leaving voicemails, sending emails, texts and instant messages, putting sticky notes on monitors, or tracking down people in the hallway. And that’s just the input. Click 3:There are point solutions for planningClick 4:Point solutions for Task ManagementClick 5:Point solutions for CollaborationClick 6:Point solutions for Status gathering and ReportingClick 7:Point solution for Document sharingClick 8:Compounding the problem of too many point solutions is the fact that these solutions typically don't talk to each other - within a team, or cross-teams.Click 9:And this leads to confusion, poor visibility and low productivity.Click 10 and 11:This causes work to be late, Click 12:over budget, Click 13:and incomplete. But atwhatcost?
- #10 Again, the numbers are frightening.The bottom line is: failed projects cost $The Project Management Institute estimates that 70% of IT projects fail.
- #11 How is failure defined? Anything that is late, over budget, or delivered with less than the requested feature/function set.
- #12 [Optional Notes]But more than company costs and dollar amounts, what does it mean to you and your teams?Disconnected point systems create lack of visibility and chaos, work gets lost, misplaced and missed - and we've all experienced the panic that sets in when asked to provide a status update on something we completely missed.Without centralized tracking and status reporting on all work types, deadlines come and go, customers start to lose their cool and start escalating.With zero visibility into the work at any level, people don't know who’s working on what, and fingers start pointing when you realize two teams just duplicated really complicated, really expensive work.The lack of visibility that results from unconnected tools causes confusion - and a lot of frustration - in most IT teams.And without real, trustable visibility, you have no way to prioritize important work and deploy scarce resources, resulting in firedrill after firedrill when you realize that what you're employees are working on, isn't what they're supposed to be working on.--- Additional Data Points ---“AtTask empowers our IT staff to consistently deliver projects on time and in budget, which enables clinicians and physicians to save lives.” – Scott Carney, Director of Project Management, Sparrow Health“We have a better visibility into our resource allocation and planning. We now know if we have enough resources available to complete projects on time and with our existing resource pool.” – Anne Fisher, IT Project Manager Regis Corporation“We are using AtTask very heavily for project priority due to resource constraints. In 2012, when new projects come along we'll look at the resource availability and then set schedules, plans and priorities accordingly.” – Kevin Baker, Project Manager - IT Infrastructure Time Warner“In the Southern Cone (Brazil, Argentina and Chile) the estimated saving of our Continuous Improvement transactions is $1.3 million. In one case we are projecting a savings of $36,000 with an intangible benefit of a uniform professional image of Buckman in the market. AtTask is critical in helping us track and act on this information.” – Stephnie Polk-Fringer, IT Administrator, Buckman Labs
- #18 Optional Notes:Just staying on top of the status of work is a time-consuming, resource intensive process only to get visibility that is inaccurate, incomplete, out of dateNo single tool for input, or for anything, all teams use point solutions, resulting in:Spend too much time on ‘work about work’ on phone calls, emails, desk visits and status meetings (over 50% of enterprise worker’s day consumed by email)Lack visibility you can trust because too hard to get a clear view of work due to siloed tools for comms/tracking that are different for each person and teamInability to see how efficiently/inefficiently resources are being used to deliver on business commitments
- #29 [Optional Notes]At Trek, getting visibility they can trust is worth MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. The improvements are worth more than the cost.
- #30 [Optional notes]The fundamental problem can’t be solved with one more point solution or a new project management tool. We need to start thinking about this in a new way.There is a better way… a single unified tool focused on helping enterprise teams manage the complexity of their work… Enterprise Work ManagementAtTask is the tool that unifies enterprise workManages all types of work scenarios (structure, unstructured, creative, knowledge, ad-hoc, repeatable, one-time, changes)End-to-end enterprise work lifecycle (work identification, prioritize, plan, coordinate, execute, deliver, measure, recognize)Unified work tools (goals and planning, social collaboration, document management, work flow management, work automation, process, reporting, approvals)Closed-loop performance management (strategy, initiatives, commitments, priorities, outcomes, deliverables, results, impact, recognition)Enterprise work best practices and maturity model guidance (change management, vision, transformation, resources / services, education)If we make room in the budget, AtTask will pay in back in numerous ways. If the Tool gets adopted, Efficiency increases, productivity increases, real visibility increases. Revenues can increase.
- #31 [Optional notes]I think it’s time we choose AtTask.
