People disagreeing and arguing, decisions not being made, lack of clarity on what is actually needed, users struggling with the new software and going back to old ways of working, going over budget, delays in rolling-out, not getting the functionality you thought you would have… the list of what can go wrong in a software project is long.
But all of the above issues are in fact just symptoms. Finding out what the real problems are is often not obvious, especially when you’re in the centre of it all and struggling to be objective.
If you are managing or working on a software project which isn’t going to plan, this tool is for you. Whether the software is bought-in, developed in-house, outsourced or a hybrid of all these options, the Digital Octopii Software Project Health Check Tool will help you get to the root cause of the issues, will give you a health score and a tailored Action Plan.
The Action Plan is written specifically for your project, based on your answers and will give you practical steps on the best way forward.
The scoring system has been developed by our software project experts using research from the Association for Project Management, the Prince2 recommended Healthcheck Template and the Agile manifesto and principles. We have adapted those well-known health check templates based on our years of experience managing IT projects in businesses of all sizes, the public sector as well as charities.
The average time to answer the questions is 7 minutes and you’ll get your Project Health Score immediately at the end. The Action Plan is generated and reviewed by one of our project experts and will be sent to you within two working days.
