A dedicated project manager (PM) is crucial to a successful implementation. The PM should be able to competently demonstrate critical aspects of project management, including paying attention to detail, managing multiple tasks simultaneously, and managing team members and their activities. By extension, this means the PM must take the time to become thoroughly familiar with your laboratory and its processes. They must also be experts on the LIMS itself in order to ensure your lab’s needs and the LIMS’ capabilities match.
In order to accomplish this, effective communication between the lab’s and vendor’s project team is vital, with the PMs for both teams needing to be great communicators. Real-time information flow and discussion means team members of both the lab and the vendor are working together optimally. Beyond effective requirements gathering and scope definition, this is probably the single most important factor that determines successful implementation. The project managers from both teams should agree upon appropriate communication methods (e.g., online or onsite meetings, phone calls, emails, project management application documentation, etc.) and frequencies that will best facilitate effective communication.
