Work Management
& Governance
The Challenge
​
These are some of the challenges our customers are typically looking to address - do they sound familiar?
-
You deliver multiple projects and change initiatives, but the tools in place are desktop based and disconnected - Excel, PowerPoint, MS Project, various file sharing methods, etc.
-
Project planning and tracking is immature and inconsistent, with varying skill levels in the project management team. Cross-project dependencies are hard to pin down.
-
Financial controls are not in place or high level only. The risk of project overruns is high.
​
-
Your teams struggle to adopt a consistent and compliant process. You wish to improve processes for project documents, stage gate controls, risk and issue management, lessons learned and other typical governance areas.
​
-
Significant time is wasted gathering data and compiling reports, which are out of date by the time they are published.
​
-
There is a desire to implement new working methods such as Agile, possibly joining Agile tools that are in place already.
