This step sounds obvious but is often ignored.
Your Project Manager must hold your staff and your vendor to the deliverables and dates specified in your implementation plan. Emergencies arise, and critical orders come in every day, and it is common for deliverables to slide. It is typical for printing operations that stick with their plans to implement their systems in nine to 12 months. Print shops that don’t follow their plans can take years to launch their Print MIS systems.
Your Project Sponsor and Project Manager are essential in ensuring that you follow your plan. A strong Project Manager will drive people to achieve their deliverables on time. A supportive Project Sponsor will ensure that this project receives the priority and support needed to succeed.
