IT project management is no joke. Among PM roles, it’s easily one of the most demanding and involves seriously high stakes. Why? Because IT projects are complex and expensive.

Effective management is crucial for the success of any design project. Without a plan, things can get out of control quickly.

If you're reading this, you know all too well that projects are full of unexpected problems. Bottlenecks happen. Resources suddenly get stretched thin. And without project milestones in place, stakeholders climb an unending mountain toward project completion. That sounds extremely tiresome.

Do you have a dedicated project cost management plan in place? Hey, we won’t judge you if you don’t. That said, better budgeting should be a top priority for any agency today. This is especially true in an era where only 43% of project managers actually complete projects on time or within budget. As an agency, it’s natural to get overambitious in an attempt to please your clients. Unfortunately, this often results in project overrun, unsustainable schedules, and blown-out budgets.

With just a few weeks left in 2021, our product teams have been hard at work to bring you some exciting new updates. See the latest features released in Teamwork throughout December, such as Billable & Non-Billable settings, Shared Table views, and much more! Wishing you all a very happy Holiday season!
