Project management tools

The more complex a project and the larger the project team, the more difficult goal-orientated project planning and management becomes. There are a large number of tasks that are interdependent and must be completed by a certain date. The right project management tool creates the necessary transparency, enables efficient communication within the project team and bundles all relevant elements of project management in a central location.

At LEITWERK Consulting, we support you in selecting and implementing the right project management tool for your projects. Not all project management tools are suitable for every type of project and collaboration model. An analysis of your project management structures, standards and processes as well as the technical focus of your project landscape provides information on which requirements a tool must fulfil for goal-oriented project implementation.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PROJECT MANAGEMENT TOOL

There are countless possibilities for mapping and controlling your project management or portfolio management in a tool - from the definition of objectives to detailed project plans presented in Gantt charts, work package descriptions and the visualisation of your project portfolio. Defining specific requirements is therefore critical to success before deciding to introduce a project management tool. Not only do you run the risk of paying for functions that you do not need for planning and controlling your projects, but you also run the risk of making your employees unhappy by increasingly overburdening them.

We help you to define these requirements, select the right tool and introduce it sustainably.

Your advantages

Efficient communication & reduction of duplication of work
By centralising tasks, progress and resources, project management tools provide a clear overview for all team members. This minimises misunderstandings, facilitates collaboration and reduces the likelihood of duplication of work.
Structured processes & targeted prioritisation
Project management tools provide a clear framework for tasks, deadlines and resources. By managing information centrally, these tools enable systematic organisation, which leads to an improved overview and easier tracking.
Transparency
Project management tools promote transparency by providing a central platform for organising, tracking and communicating project information. The integrated linking of tasks, responsibilities and resources enables progress checks and provides information on the current project status for all team members at all times.
Centralisation of project documents & feedback
The centralised storage of documents facilitates access for the entire team, which promotes efficiency and consistency. At the same time, project management tools enable the structured recording of feedback, which improves communication and facilitates iterative adjustments.
Optimised knowledge exchange
By organising knowledge systematically, team members can access it more easily and share relevant data efficiently. Project management tools facilitate the continuous exchange of insights, best practices and lessons learnt.
Reduction in administrative work
Project management tools reduce the administrative workload by offering automated functions for task management, resource allocation and communication. By recording information centrally, they minimise manual work processes and make it easier to update data.
