We’ve all done it…

We fall head over heels in love with “the one” — a project management tool that we believe is perfect for us. And for some time, it is — it does all the right things. It makes us feel good about the work we do. And it’s there for us every day.

However, over time, things change.

Suddenly everything becomes more difficult, and things start falling apart. Tasks begin falling through the cracks, rules and automations are “breaking”, and we no longer feel the same way about that tool as we once did.

Is it time to break up and move on?

Is it you… or them?

In this article, we will dive into some signs your project management tool is no longer working for your organization and how to determine if it’s a platform problem or a process problem.
