A good project management
solution provides visibility.
It should allow your team to
work more efficiently, meet
deadlines, and spend less time
trying to balance and organize
multiple projects.
5. If it looks too expensive, it

your budget.

If you're spending
more time keeping
everything organized,

#4. It’s Not Used
BY ANYONE
13. It’s difficult for employees
to change their work
habits. Tools can get
pushed aside especially if
they're not intuitive or
easy to implement.

Your PM solution is meant to be a
collaboration tool across one or several
different teams. If only one person is using
it, most of the value is lost.
