Use Cases with Clarity


Challenge
  • Massive acceptance problems of the previous tool, which could only be used for documentation

  • Complex internal structures and processes that needed to be mapped

First-Hand Experience


Dr.-Ing. Uwe Kernchen, REHAU Industries
The methodology of a Proof of Concept is ultimately to ensure that you are not sold a bill of goods. However, it was important for us to ensure from the start and in a very early project phase that Clarity offered everything we needed.

If we had to install Clarity all over again, we would gladly choose to do it with the itdesign team. It was definitely worth it, and we had fun, too. And the success that we have had is confirmation enough that we chose the right software, the right approach, and the right partner.

The essential success factors for the introduction of a completely new tool are having a clear goal, good communication with a training at the end, sound project planning, specialist expertise, stringency, and having fun carrying out the project.

How you could describe Clarity: Simplify and satisfied. The huge advantage of working with Clarity as a project manager is that it provides you with everything in one tool. Everything that needs to be done in the area of project management is not only manageable, but also evaluable.

I don't think it's worth the effort to even try to see if Office solutions could be used for project management. If you rely on the Clarity tool from the very beginning, you start off on a professional footing, have access to everything in one place, and can save a tremendous amount of time, effort, and frustration.
