Top 10 Project Management Challenges

Pitfalls to Address and Prepare for Before They Occur.

You've heard the phrase, "Nothing worthwhile comes easily." I recently watched the movie, Limitless, which completely contradicts this phrase. After taking a little clear pill, a once struggling writer became focused and confident, and able to quickly assess situations, solve problems, and simply and easily lead companies to success day after day. He's the guy you'd want leading any project. If only it were that easy!

As we all know, here in the real world, it takes a little more than a magic bean to reach anywhere near that level of success. In fact, successful ECM project managers have to be intelligent, driven, diligent, meticulous about details, and outstanding communicators. And when planning ECM implementations they have to thoroughly strategize, comprehensively budget and confidently lead every step of the way.

The article, "How to Overcome the Top 10 Challenges in ECM Project Management" offers tips on how to lead your ECM project to avoid failure. Here are a few of the challenges the article covers:

1. Budgeting: What to think about when budgeting for your project so that you have adequate funds for the best possible ROI.
2. Dropping the ball: How to avoid the problems when assumptions are made, plans aren't followed, or there is insufficient follow-up.
3. Insufficient training: Why it's important to understand the potential of the software and provide adequate training to your end-users.
4. Poor communication: Why and how you should involve every department from the start to maximize the benefit to the enterprise.
5. Insufficient disaster recovery planning: Why backup and disaster recovery plans are vital to your ECM project and how to go about planning for them.

The Bottom Line:

A worthwhile ECM implementation takes effort – there's no getting around that. But done right, you'll lead your company to success day after day...without magic beans. Learn more by reading this article.
