This presentation will show 4 sobering reasons why the right tool to manage our entire lifecycle of work, including projects, is not a luxury but a necessity. INTRODUCTION
WHY SHOULD WE CARE?

What is the definition of failure? Work delivered late Went over budget Delivered minus requested features/functions WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
Lost work leads to panic Missed deadlines gets you angry stakeholders/customers Costly, duplicated work ends up in finger pointing Too many tools results in confusion and frustration Unable to prioritize leads to fire drills WHY SHOULD WE CARE? What’s the result of failure?

REASON #4: Lost Productivity (and $) to
100 s can consume 50% of a worker’s day 17 This could cost our company more than $20,000 per person, per year Based on an average salary of $42,979 in 2011 REASON #4: LOST PRODUCTIVITY (AND $) TO
For every 100 people who are unnecessarily copied on an , eight hours are lost. 18 A Fortune 500 company estimates this lost productivity has a yearly impact of $1 billion. 19 REASON #4: LOST PRODUCTIVITY (AND $) TO
