6. Why should we care?
• Because we all need some help!
– Management
• Process can’t grow to accommodate more demand
• No history of what issues we can learn from
• No common understanding of project constraints (resource, time, cost)
– PM’s
• Too many projects
• Different audiences needing different information
• Don’t know what people are working on, what we can deliver and when
• No two project plans look alike
• Every estimate is different
– Team Members
• Regenerating the same data over and over manually (email a
spreadsheet around)
• Don’t know what to work on next
