StoredTech Evolution from Project Pitfalls to Higher Profits

The Problem Project Issues: Projects being under or over scoped on hours Project overrunning Lost efficiencies Battle between Sales, Solution Architects and Solution Delivery Client Satisfaction issues Moral impact Tasks or dependencies forgotten and additional internal costs incurred If we came in under time and on budget we STILL LOST! The Problem

Build the foundation, good projects start well before the project begins!

The Changes Project Plan: Project planning starts with Excel Template Planning starts with Sales & Solution Design Hours are real, documented and well thought out Clients can be shown rationale for hours When sale is won, project template becomes project plan Hours entered by time worked, not time/date/hour/minute All project hours consumed. Efficiencies realized not lost! Otherwise forgotten or dependent items are realized and added in The Changes
