Project management questions

What are the main criteria for choosing project management software?

Operating-model fit, user adoption, planning depth, exception handling, reporting drill-down, administration, integrations, security, commercial limits, support, and exit.

How long should a pilot run?

Long enough to complete representative updates, one exception, one decision, one management review, and one configuration change. For many teams that means several days to a few review cycles.

Should the team choose by feature count?

No. Test the depth and connection of the features required by your scenario. A shorter list of well-connected capabilities can outperform a larger shallow checklist.

Who should participate in selection?

Include contributors, project managers, sponsors or approvers, administrators, security or IT where relevant, and the owner of commercial and rollout decisions.
