Wrong tools for the job?

Evaluation Centre's overview of the project management software and PSA software market

...Project management is the art – or science – of organising resources in such a way that they deliver all the work required to finish a project within its defined scope, time and cost.

Almost any activity that involves carrying out non-repetitive tasks can be a project. But there is a big difference between carrying out a very simple project involving one or two people, and one that involves a complex mix of people, organisations and tasks. Project management is now a well-accepted discipline. Many organisations would not consider launching a new programme without appointing a qualified and experienced project manager.

Likewise, the standards and methodologies involved are well-known and many projects are completed successfully within the design criteria. Yet the statistics show that many projects are still not managed successfully and end up failing or (sometimes disastrously) over-running their original time and cost estimates.
