Top Business Issues

Project management is in charge

Evaluation Centre's overview of the project management software and PSA software market

...Organisations of all sizes and in every industry have begun to view their work as project-driven. As a result, a project management approach to business problems and opportunities is becoming the rule rather than the exception.

Projects have become the tools for implementing organisational strategy – and effective project management starts with selecting and prioritising projects that support the organisational vision, mission and strategy.

To achieve this, companies need an integrated project organisation, planning and control framework which helps them to ensure the timely and cost-effective production of all their end products; to maintain acceptable standards of quality; and ultimately to achieve the strategic benefit which drove the project investment in the first place.

Experience shows that a project requires the collaboration of many stakeholders – including those who commission and finance it, those who will use the end product and those who build it. It takes a whole organisation to make a project a success.

Yet often it is the project manager who bears the brunt alone. They manage the details of the project on a day-to-day basis and are seen as responsible for its success or failure.
