1. StoredTech Evolution from Project Pitfalls to Higher Profits

2. The Problem Project Issues:
Projects being under or over scoped on hours
Project overrunning
Lost efficiencies
Battle between Sales, Solution Architects and Solution Delivery
Client Satisfaction issues
Moral impact
Tasks or dependencies forgotten and additional internal costs incurred
If we came in under time and on budget we STILL LOST!
The Problem

3. Build the foundation, good projects start well before the project begins!

4. The Changes Project Plan: Project planning starts with Excel Template
Planning starts with Sales & Solution Design
Hours are real, documented and well thought out
Clients can be shown rationale for hours
When sale is won, project template becomes project plan
Hours entered by time worked, not time/date/hour/minute
All project hours consumed. Efficiencies realized not lost!
Otherwise forgotten or dependent items are realized and added in
The Changes
