Project Management for Business Success
Project Management Tools

“People, process and technology must all be addressed before tools can be effective”
Organisations differ greatly, so tools must be chosen that are fit for purpose and which best meet particular requirements. When implementing project management tools, attention must be given to the processes that are needed and the people that will use them, in addition to selecting the right technology.

A common expectation is that implementing a tool will solve a problem or increase capability. However, without developing suitable processes that the tool will facilitate and sufficient capabilities in the people who will use it, any tool will either be used inconsistently, incorrectly or not at all.

At EQuest Consulting we are skilled at identifying project management tools that are appropriate and
suited to the specific needs of individual organisations. We believe in first determining suitable project management processes and then selecting tools to enable those processes to be followed. We also believe in teaching people how to utilise the tools effectively by following the processes to better manage their projects.

We have selected, tailored and implemented tools for scheduling, risk, issue and change management, time and cost tracking, resource management, time sheeting, performance reporting, portfolio management and enterprise wide collaboration.

We are knowledgeable about the latest project management tools available and what each is best suited for. We have the expertise to implement these, plus the experience to conduct the necessary process improvement and change management so they are used effectively.
