Projects should focus on work, not paperwork.
Facing the challenge of sustainably managing ever more complex projects, I opted to make project management, well, the project.
How do you manage complex ServiceNow projects? The built in tools do a good job of task and process management, but something was missing.
You need to track changes to requirements.
You need to understand and combat unnecessary scope creep.
Statements of Work and other documents can help!
One problem: Statements of Work can get complicated, they're often difficult to revision control, and if we're managing in ServiceNow, why are we using Word?
We needed to create the "glue" to join together ServiceNow Project Management and our organizational processes.
Say "hello" to Project Tools.
Project Tools is a ServiceNow scoped application that I created, which compliments ServiceNow Project Management.
Project Tools manages and records the goals and requirements of a ServiceNow project engagement. Project Tools helps you manage these components as they change over the life of a project.
Using the requirements gathered, Project Tools helps you create on-brand, compliant, effective Statements of Work that are friendly, easy to read, and a joy to create.
These documents will combine the data you enter, such as project description, as well as configurable standardized language and line item costs.
