Something to think about when you run a business selling services:

The Top Priority for your Business - Financial or Scheduling?

Scheduling project management involves planning a project in advance. Financial project management involves real-time and retrospective project reporting. What do they have in common? An end outcome.

In order to reach this end outcome, the project manager must determine the key milestones that need to be met for each stage in order to deliver the end outcome on time and on budget. Setting milestones for each stage creates a deadline for staff, and helps to provide a real-time view of whether a project is on track. With this in mind, it is important that a system provides you with the ability to track each project by stage.

When you run a business that sells labour, time and money go hand in hand. If the estimated time that you allocate to the project is wrong, you are likely going to lose money. If your staff are inefficient, you are likely going to lose money. In my experience, whilst scheduling project management and financial project management are intrinsically linked, as a business owner, it is important to consider the value of specialist software for each.
