As business changes, so does project management. Indeed, today, many traditional approaches to project management are not only unable to handle the complexity of increasingly high-tech and global projects but also may represent a major deficit to such projects. One of the major problems with traditional project management solutions is that they are up to 45% over budget. For businesses, this means it is time to reassess the tools being deployed to keep projects on track. Fortunately, there are a new set of solutions–software solutions–available to help businesses manage projects small and large. The question is how to choose the right solution in an increasingly saturated market?
The first step is to ask yourself what set of tools you really need to keep your projects on track? In what areas do you require the most help? Is it with timelines, people management, vendor management or visualization? When selecting a software solution, it is also important to consider other factors from the size of the projects on which you typically work to their specific modalities. Once you know your priorities, you can go on the market. A major player on today’s project management software market is LiquidPlanner. Given that it counts several industry heavyweights, like LinkedIn, among its clients, there’s no doubt that LiquidPlanner is a great option for mid to large-scale companies with complex projects and deadlines.
