How to Know Your Project Management Tool Isn’t Working
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Your business will only thrive if you have systems in place.
At Champagne Collective, we rely on our project management tools for client task submission, team task assignments, and so much more.
It’s the backbone of our daily operations, and the reason we can deliver white-glove services to our clients.
But what happens when your project management tool feels more like a chore than a day-to-day blessing?
It means it’s not working for you. Your project management tool should make things easier in business, and if it’s not, it’s failing you.
In today’s post, we’re sharing why your project management tool isn’t working — and what you can do to fix it.
Signs Your Project Management Tool Isn’t Working
Here are three ways to know that your PM tool needs an upgrade:
It’s overcomplicated. If you’re spending more time setting it up than doing client work, you have a problem!
It’s not set up to fit your business. Every business structure is unique, which means project management needs are unique, too.
No one’s holding you accountable for using it. You have a system (sort of) set up, but it collects dust while you scramble to get client work done without using it.
Sound familiar? We’ve got your back!
What a Good Project Management Tool Should Do
Just because your PM tool isn’t working for you now doesn’t mean you can’t give it a facelift.
Here’s what you need to look at while you give it the TLC it needs to be effective.
Streamline your processes. Create step-by-step processes for updating, delegating, and submitting tasks.
Keep you on track without micromanaging. Micromanaging your team is counterproductive. Use your PM tool to keep you on track with tasks without watching your team members like a hawk. You have better ways to spend your time!
Save you time, not add to your plate. You’re already busy. Your PM tool shouldn’t add even more to your plate. Set your tool up to save you time so you can work less and make more!
