Vendor Landscape: Mid-Market Project Portfolio Management

Going off the Gantt charts with team adoption and real-time collaboration.

More Details

Your Challenge

  • Business simply doesn’t happen in a perfect, orderly, predictable way. We need the right tools to manage the uncertainty.
  • IT is expected to keep tabs on hundreds of projects happening at any given moment – to provide snapshots both of where the projects are now and how they look over time.
  • What’s needed is a robust, accounting-like system to keep track of all the work that is (and isn’t) being done: an accounting system for hours instead of dollars.

Our Advice

Critical Insight
  • Mid-Market PPM solutions are increasingly managing the work people actually do on an hourly basis, such as reactive and ad hoc tasks that inevitably take resources and time away from pre-determined projects.
  • Leading Mid-Market PPM solutions employ social user interfaces to encourage team adoption and real-time collaboration. Solutions still have core PPM functions, such as Gantt charts, but those coexist with features designed first and foremost to help team members manage their own workflow from the bottom up.
  • Top-down visibility, resource planning, and optimization will be exercises in futility without adoption to ensure hours are logged accurately. It is absolutely critical to understand how the tool will align with the processes and goals of every user and stakeholder in the organization. 
Impact and Result
  • Understand today’s Mid-Market PPM market, where it’s going, and what its leading vendors are doing.
  • Evaluate the relative strengths and possible trade-offs of each solution.
  • Identify the solution best suited to your organization’s unique PPM needs.
