Why is human-led tech-powered an important approach?
The first project management software to cope with the increasing scale and complexity of projects was MS Project, developed by Microsoft in the early 1980s. Yet nowadays many organisations and professionals still use simple tools like documents or spreadsheets instead.
Think about the most recent project you or your organisation participated in. Can you imagine successfully planning, executing, monitoring, and delivering it using only blank documents or spreadsheets? Would it be efficient and effective? The result would definitely be time-consuming and therefore expensive, with an added high risk of inaccuracy and errors. It could even lead to the whole project’s failure.
Even when working with hybrid teams spread throughout different cities or countries it doesn’t have to be an uphill battle to maintain some control over work and project documentation with the right tools at your disposal.
In the modern workplace in particular, as projects become more complicated and challenging, it is imperative that we utilise as much of the available technology as possible, because as a sponsor or project owner (one of the key stakeholders), or as project team member, you may be concerned:
Does everyone involved in the project have the necessary information to successfully deliver the work?
Does everyone have the required visibility of each workstream?
Do I, as the key stakeholder, have the right information and high level portfolio overview?
Do I know how to navigate the many trackers and spreadsheets?
Do I need to worry that when people go on a sick leave or leave the company, the key information gets lost because it was in their heads or their notebooks?
Can the large amount of administrative work negatively affect the use of resources and risk project failure?
Can I make difficult decisions without the appropriate technological support?
What is the PMO Digital Toolkit?
Those concerns can be minimised when the right tools are used to their maximum potential, scattered information is consolidated, and people have access to data at any given moment, ensuring transparency and clear communication. Online collaboration tools facilitate effective communication between team members, regardless of their location. At the same time project data is secured, which is essential for maintaining confidentiality and integrity of information.
With the right use of data analysis technology, you are provided with information which helps you make more informed decisions, and in turn results in better project management. Finally, with the continuous progress tracking, delays are identified on the spot, which enables you to take immediate corrective action.
The PMO Digital Toolkit allows you to accomplish all of the above with reduced administration work, thereby lowering the number of work hours required, speeding up the project, and lowering the cost. Projects can be more flexible and easily adaptable to changes in customer or market requirements. Business needs are met with better accuracy, which translates into project success and satisfaction.
