A good project management

solution provides visibility.

It should allow your team to work more efficiently, meet

deadlines, and spend less time trying to balance and organize multiple projects

If it looks too expensive, it

may be time to find a better tool that works better for your team and your budget.

#2 It's

COMPLICATED

to Set Up

Too many mandatory tutorial sessions and required set up calls

can add up and take time away from your team's productivity

The implementation and set up should be quick and seamless,

whether you’re introducing the PM tool to your team

for the first time or ramping up a

new team member

to-dos and automating reminders and progress reports

If you're spending

more time keeping

everything organized,

you're just adding

another task to your

already lengthy to-do

list

#4 It’s Not Used

BY ANYONE

It’s difficult for employees

to change their work habits Tools can get

pushed aside especially if

they're not intuitive or

easy to implement

Your PM solution is meant to be a

collaboration tool across one or several

different teams If only one person is using

it, most of the value is lost.
