Checklist for project planning software?

For companies uncertain about the value and relevance of advanced project planning and scheduling systems, Primavera Systems has published a checklist. The firm says that if you answer ‘yes’ to any of the following questions, you should investigate such systems further. Do projects in your organisation often finish late? Is your organisation often surprised late about major delays? Do you worry about having the right resources on the most strategic projects? Do your project teams have difficulty working together because they’re spread across locations and organisations? Are you under pressure to reduce the time and cost of each project? Do you have difficulty in assessing the impact of change? They’re all familiar challenges for any engineering project driven company, and you can draw your own conclusions.
