If you’ve been using Microsoft Excel for resource management, it’s time to find a better solution. This video explores the key reasons Excel might be holding back your business, reducing efficiency, and hindering your resource management efforts.

Sean Pales, Director of ProSymmetry, uses real-word examples and use cases to highlight common pitfalls of using Excel.

Key Takeaways:

  1. When used for Resource Management, not only is Excel extremely limiting for the needs of an enterprise, but it also exposes you to significant legal and compliance risks.
  2. Excel and Excel-like tools cannot deliver on identifying, remediating and forecasting resource bottlenecks, over-allocations and real-options for portfolio improvements that impact overall portfolio health.
  3. A purpose-built Resource Management solution unlocks value and creates options that improve not only near-term delivery but also long term strategic alignment.

Excel may feel like it’s in your comfort zone, but once you understand the risks and drawbacks of using this tool for resource management, you’ll see why it’s time to leave Excel behind.
