There is always a lot of work to do in projects. Time is usually short. Especially when there is no overall project management software available for creating plans or reports. In practice, this usually means boring routine tasks instead of important problem-solving. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

A lot of time is often wasted on non-essentials. The right work on the performance objects in the project then gets too little space.

To prevent this, there is a lot of support in the form of software for the project manager. Anyone looking for “Project Management Tools” on Google will get over 500 million hits. But who wants to look for the right tool among them?

The delegation to someone else is also exhausting. What if he or she finds suitable software? Today it is usually not so easy to integrate new software into an existing IT landscape or to have it installed by IT departments. This usually ends with the topic: “that you have to do something with the software anyway and then come with an overall software package that also solves this part perfectly”.

So what’s left? Leave everything the same? Waiting for the big software package?

I think there is still a way in between. A start could be an automatic created work breakdown structure – WBS with Excel and VBA.
