Business Drivers - ROI• Our groups within the IT department were siloed• Project collaboration and reporting varied by IT group, and
even between Project Managers• Task Management was done using MS Project, Excel and email• PMs owned everything, chasing down resources or drilling
through emails for data needed to update tasks and status • Project Collaboration was done with SharePoint, Google Drive• Good tools, but both require diligent PM oversight and
management • Not entirely intuitive for the uninitiated

Business Drivers – ROI (cont.)• Project Reporting was inconsistent, done using PowerPoint and ad hoc• Different tools, styles and practices resulted in uneven reporting
• Resource Management was done by the functional managers• No departmental or enterprise views of availability or commitment
levels• Project Prioritization was done at functional manager/function levels• No departmental or strategic alignment
• Portfolio Management essentially non-existent, each IT Group managing their own list and priorities• No means to comprehensively view of all the work, commitments and
constraints

Unique Story Of Interest • Manager-on-Call• Mentor’s business-critical systems are monitored 24 x 7 x 365.
Issues can and do occur that sometimes require off-hours management and escalation.
• Mentor IT has a rotating schedule where each IT Manager owns the management of these issues and communication to the larger IT Community and critical system stakeholders.
• Collaboration to date has been executed through the use of email and Microsoft Yammer. Yammer, over time, has fallen out of favor and use.
• Projectplace was a no-brainer, fulfilling the basic collaboration needs plus the mobile, update-from-anywhere functionality and the ability to schedule the on-call rotations.
