| Challenges
|
|
- As a growing company, Spanlink had difficulty maintaining and upgrading their proprietary time-tracking system. The lack of a central database meant different departmental views into team and project performance, and a 2 week lag in revenue recognition at the end of each month.
- Project scheduling in spreadsheets led to scheduling conflicts and an overall lack of communication between project managers and resources.
- Key metrics such as resource utilization and percent billable were not tracked, and therefore, conclusions were based upon opinion, resulting in poor business decisions.
