Implementing a new project management tool can be a great investment or a failed and frustrating experience. To help ensure you get the results you’re looking for you need to evaluate your business needs.

Success Starts with Responding to the Why Questions. Before you begin defining What the ManagePro tool is, or How it is to be used, or even Who is going to use it, start by building a compelling case for utilization with your work group. Build it by addressing the Why questions. Below are just a few you might consider having your workgroup discuss:

1. Why use new project management tools now?

2. Why can making even a simple tool, like ManagePro, work be difficult?

3. Why do tools work in one organization and not another?

4. Why are people reluctant to use tools?

Here are some points to consider in assisting your discussion:

1. Why use new project management tools now?

  • to improve organization, data visibility, continuity, focus.
  • to reduce stress, reliance upon memory, negative surprises as in missed commitments.
  • to support collaboration and coordination.
    • 2. Why can it be difficult to make even simple tools work?

  • even simple tools involve change, which two-third’s of staff naturally resist.
  • there is a learning curve which requires individual and group commitment and discipline.
  • haphazard utilization across the team renders any tool unproductive over time.
