Integrated Project Management Vs Stand Alone Project Management - Part 1
Project Management has been managed through standalone dedicated software's or excel sheets. Exclusive Project Management software's are very well suited to Heavy Engineering or Project based industries - This may not fully benefit discrete manufacturing or industries involved with development of Products or even software's.
1.Why Integration : Top most reason why this is critical is because many of the New Product Development activities have process milestones and not just task milestones - for ex a Design Release Process is a could be between 5 to 50 steps depending on complexity of Projects. While legacy tools can give dates - it cannot give visibility of real status of deliverable to Project Managers or Top Management
2. 360 degree Resource Status : Quality, Availability and Experience - Traditional Tools do not give 360 degree view of Projects. Ex : I may be new Project Manager and need to understand who is specific expert on Single Cylinder Engines and not just Engines. Additionally who has experience with specific end customer and located in Europe. Qualitatively I can also analyze first time right and no of issues for all design components by resource.
