Scope & timeline drift

Signs You've Outgrown Spreadsheets

Projects slip every sprint with unclear reasons.

Scope grows mid-cycle without formal change control.

Engineering and product disagree on what was committed.

Milestones lack owners; dependencies surface late.

No baseline estimates to compare planned vs actual.

Stakeholders learn about delays after the deadline passes.

Refine savings estimate (optional)

Amounts are in USD. These values stay in your browser and are not sent to the assessment service. Leave unknown values blank; enter 0 only when the amount is zero.

Annual software spend (USD) Manual hours lost per week (whole team) Fully loaded hourly staff cost (USD)

Illustrative scenarios assume 5% to 15% software savings and 25% to 50% recovery of manual hours. Actual results depend on your audit and implementation costs.
