Do's and Dont's in implementing Project management Software



Never!!! Never!!! Get bogged down by the popular Project Management Software available in the market

DO NOT

  • Go crazy with the Project management terms used in the industry
  • Ignore it is one of the project as like other project in your organization
  • Look for Project Management Software without understanding your Organization / internal / project needs
  • Get in to the implementation without having  a proper roadmap
  • Try to implement all the features at once which lead to the failure / under usage of project management software
  • Try to use the tools and features of a project management software just because it is available
  • Compare a Project management Software like any other software
  • Think the software is useable the day it is installed

DO

  • Consider it as one of the projects like other project being executed in your organization
  • Consider the project will be your business transformation project
  • Have a consulting approaching (external consultants) to prepare the roadmap for implementing Project Management Software at the enterprise level
  • Always try to marry the new system with the current environment and enhance it from there which would result in increase in productivity
  • Realize that it will create a Return On Investment over a period of time
  • Realize implementing a project management software will change the nature of project being planned, executed or monitored using the system
  • Have a reasonable deadline for implementing project management software
  • Have at least one pilot phase / prototype before going for Go-Live for an enterprise wide implementation
