A good project management solution provides visibility.
It should allow your team to work more efficiently, meet deadlines, and spend less time trying to balance and organize multiple projects.
If it looks too expensive, it may be time to find a better tool that works better for your team and your budget.

Too many mandatory tutorial sessions and required set up calls can add up and take time away from your team's productivity.

The implementation and set up should be quick and seamless, whether you’re introducing the PM tool to your team
for the first time or ramping up a new team member.

#4. It’s Not Used BY ANYONE
It’s difficult for employees to change their work habits. Tools can get
pushed aside especially if they're not intuitive or
easy to implement.

Your PM solution is meant to be a collaboration tool across one or several different teams. If only one person is using it, most of the value is lost.
