How To On-Board Your Team To Project Management Tool

Investing in a project management tool is the best thing you can do to your business and team. It is not about having a fancy brand or tool onboard but a platform that is in-sync with your desired business outcomes and gets the work done! 

Let’s see how our teams typically start their day and go about doing their business from task to task or one project to another, the challenges they face and how a collaborative project management platform can help us save the day.

What is the latest status of the tasks I assigned to my team? Isn’t it the question you begin your day (almost every day!) with?

How many times have you been clueless because someone forgot to hit “Reply All” on an all important progress update?

It happens! And it happens more frequently than we would expect.

These are just two of the million such things that put us on the spot or out of it while we continue to run and manage our projects the traditional way. Emails, Spreadsheets, Word documents etc.

And the result

• The documents and spreadsheets become obsolete almost the moment they were created.
• Status updates and tasks progress not updated in time. And to update, the teams need to manoeuvre their way through are a cumbersome process.
• Add to the mix, the project or document owner has not granted the right permissions to the team and neither the proper steps or agreed flow for updating these crucial project documents.
• All the action is in the emails. And there is no link between your documents and the emails. Thereby, your project update and progress is shelved in multiple disconnected mailboxes.
• The bigger picture and the vision are almost lost in these uncoordinated actions. 
• There is no place for you and your team to see the entire flow, the progress of the project end to end without having to mine multiple documents and inboxes.
