General Comment
For project information to be effective
- This information must be
- Appropriate, accurate, available and timely
- And NOT overwhelming with minutae
- If this is not the case
- The system may be useless, or worse: mis-informative
Hence, a Project Management Information System (PMIS)
- Requires an information strategy
- To ensure that it meets this basic quality criteria
So, do not leave the system to the IT techies . . .
- Like any other IT project
- You must be clear on your requirements
- And recognize that
- IT only provides the options for delivery
