The planning stage is arguably the most important stage of any project. At this stage, ensuring that you’ve considered everything from timeline and budget, to resources and risk management, will determine the successful completion of your project(s). In this article, we’ll consider project management tools and techniques for effective project planning.
Project management tools for effective project planning
When it comes to effective project planning, having access to project management tools that are easy to use and integrate with your current processes is imperative to project success; providing you and your team with a PMO solution that feels familiar, and requires very little training will help you all concentrate on the tasks in hand without complication, hesitation or long periods of downtime.
What’s more, and particularly relevant to the PMO solution we offer at Sycamore Gap, project management tools pre-configured to industry best practice will help you to ensure your project planning and execution is tracked and, when used correctly, documented to expectations which in turn will help you to standardise PMO processes.
Alongside this, PMO tools that enable automated notifications and one-click dashboards and reports will help you plan for and track a number of KPIs and project metrics from the initial planning stages right through to completion.
What’s more, project management software that allows your team access via multiple devices, alongside providing simplified admin and governance with role based access, plus easily implemented customisations will support your team to collaborate and communicate openly with one another – whether in the office or on-site – share documents and, during the planning stage, ideas & inspiration.
Project management tools serve to enhance all phases of a project or projects, and provide a comprehensive and easy-to-use way for project teams to communicate, manage & mitigate risks, track project progress and generate reports.
