MCM Healthcare Project Description

The Current Problem:

A medium-sized healthcare company wants to expand their project management practice. They have not been able to meet target deadlines on past projects.  Their current PM’s are inexperienced with limited technical training.

Our Project: 

The project will identify the optimal PM tool that meets the company’s needs and requirements after researching and comparing available tools on the market. The final product should meet the requirements outlined by the sponsor regarding time, budget, and user experiences. 

Balanced Scorecard & Criteria

Our team has been tasked with helping MCM Healthcare in identifying the most suitable project management tools for their company.

Requirements:

The software must be able to support both agile and waterfall project management methodologies. In addition, since members of MCM Healthcare travel a lot, the software must also be hosted on the cloud. The tools should contain all functionalities necessary to support project management, team collaboration and, reporting. Most importantly, the chosen project management tool must help MCM Healthcare in achieving its ultimate goal: to deliver on time and within the budget projects to the client. 

Our Scorecard and Criteria: 

After careful research and analysis, our team came up with different criteria to compare project management tools. We also finalized the top three PM tools that we want to compare among one another: Scoro, Basecamp, and Huddle. 

Below are the balanced scorecard and details of our analysis:
