Hi! What is your fave project/resource management tool?
…Feels like there are a ton out there and yet people still can’t let go of speadsheets. Have you experienced a great PSA where project health was readily visible in realtime or do you have to pull hours and do math manually in spreadsheets?
What about managing team capacity?

It really does depend entirely on what components and integrations your company buys into because project management systems in most places are add-on systems that often aren’t fully integrated with their finance systems. And if the project budget & timesheet systems are not integrated into the PM software, you’ll only ever have half your project picture from it.

Also, those platforms will only be as good as the agency effort in rolling the platform out properly. And unfortunately—agencies are often rolling these out in aggressive timelines under pressures for efficiency in operations without considering a more efficient (& ultimately successful) rollout is one that allows the runway needed to nail it at the start rather than limp along through 3 or 4 years of failing adoption & resistance.

A new analyst has joined our team and we often give them models/ slides but don’t always ask them if they know all of the accounting principles to be able to make minute adjustments to EBITDA or free cash flow. We are a FIG platform, so the knowledge required is relatively unique as well and not as easy to google as corporate transactions. Is there a better way to coach the analyst short of just throwing them in the deep end to figure it out or should we wait for them to ask us for help?
