Project Management Information Systems: Helping or Hindering?

Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) are software programs that organize and control project data and information flow. Is your Project management system working for you, or are you working for it? Are you pushing static“updates” or showing “dynamic” progress? How are you sharing and celebrating the value EPMO and Operational Excellence bring to the organization? Does everyone in your organization know if you are winning or losing? What's the score? This session focuses on how Ballad Health utilizes its Project Management Information System to create transparency and build efficiencies.

Evaluate the current project management and strategy development approach to create systems that automate NVA tasks and pull information.

Understand the importance of having systems work to free up team members' capacity and thinking towards complex problems and not daily task management.
