Using Project Management Systems: Why It Matters
As a project manager, you know how critical it is to have a solid project management system in place to track progress, identify issues, and make informed decisions.
But what does it mean to have a “real” project management system? It means having a system that is designed to handle the complexities of project management, with features such as Gantt charts, resource allocation, and dependency tracking.
Without a real project management system, project management becomes a manual process, relying on spreadsheets, email, and sticky notes to keep track of milestones, tasks and deadlines. This approach is not only inefficient but also prone to errors and misunderstandings.
A real project management system provides a centralized platform for managing projects, teams, and resources. It allows project managers to create and assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress in real-time. It also enables automatic notifications, workflows, and reporting, making it easier to identify issues and make data-driven decisions.
However, even with a real project management system, there are still many tasks and todos that need to be managed outside of the system. These might include tasks related to testing and production environment operations, bug report, feature and change requestion management systems and other areas of the organization's processes.
