Superheroes and Sidekicks: PLM Implementation in Gotham City
February 11, 2012
BAM! POW! BOOM! The most famous superhero with a sidekick certainly is Batman and Robin. Stephen Porter of Zero Wait State thinks there is a sidekick to the PLM superhero who is often forgotten. His blog post The PLM State: Don’t Sleep on Robin – the Hidden Value of Project Management focuses on the importance of the project management role.
Porter suggests that impeccable planning and project management is necessary for any successful PLM implementation.
“Marrying vision with discipline is the optimal approach for deploying strategic solutions like PLM. The marriage of purpose and goals with the pragmatism of execution keeps things from being too ambitious and ensures that the project will be completed in a reasonable amount of time.”
Without Robin – a.k.a. the project man – there is “no balance and things go awry.” He is the key to making sure everything goes as planned.
Attention to detail and precise planning are the keys to success – with or without superpowers. In fact, that is what PLM is all about. Some companies like Inforbix are taking it a step further. With their data access solutions, Inforbix offers manufacturers those details that make all the difference. Their software is quick to deploy, easy to use and affordable for all. Forget Batman and Robin, it sounds like Inforbix is Superman!
