ADVICE

Make The Practice Management System The Hub

  • Use your practice management system as the single source of truth for tasks and expectations.
  • Buy the PM that fits your workflow, not the cheapest option, because time saved pays for cost differences quickly.
ADVICE

Build A Service Library First

  • Create an internal service library with standardized names for each offering before configuring software.
  • Use those tiers to capture shared expectations so your PM can reference one definition across projects.
INSIGHT

Standardize The Overlap, Centralize Production

  • Identify the overlap across similar engagements and standardize that shared portion.
