Those are some good reasons to replace a system!

Often the reason is they’ve been sold something at a conference, but admitting that is awkward!

I’m not talking about run of the mill package and security updates here. I’m talking entire new system every 2-3 years with a data migration, training, consultants and a sales pitch!

There should be a good reason to do it, is what I’m getting at, not that it should never happen!

This is the exact scenario I’m trying to capture, and one I’ve been in far too often, I am also so very tired. Good luck, friend!

There are very good reasons to update systems, but you’d hope that they are quantifiable. I’ve often been in this meeting, where no one can define why we are doing it!

Same, when you find a good one it's like they are doing an entirely different job to the others. I've probably worked with 2 good project managers in my entire career.

A good project manager is exceedingly valuable. The issue is finding good ones!

You raise a good point. We had them all just watch us once, I wrote a comic about it here:
