Everyone who has chatted with me about their project management software implementation knows that one of my favorite truisms is: "Don't expect the product or solution to do everything for you!" When you select a project management solution, you need to have all three elements:
-Product
-Processes
-People
What do I mean? Naturally, you must select a robust project software solution that solves your team's challenges and mission critical issues. However, you must also look at your existing processes and decide if they need to be re-vamped or improved. Then, you must also have the people, and by that I mean the leadership of the right people in your organization to make the implementation successful. If you are missing one of these three, it is like having a two legged stool. When you try to sit on it, it will tip over.
That is why we have started this blog. We want to share with you the useful ideas we have seen our customer deploy to get their implementation to 'stick.' We are hoping that you will share your ideas, tips and tricks here as well. So, please, do not be shy, chime in with what has worked and what did not work at your organization.
