Product Creation Studio is a design and development firm consisting of engineering and industrial design—they help companies take their great ideas and make them into products. With hardware development and product development there are so many unknowns, people don’t hire them to do something that has been done one million times, they hire them to do something innovative and new which makes it difficult to tell customers from the start how the project is going to go. It’s important that project management represents reality, the role of the project manager is to help everybody understand what’s really going on in a project and build trust between the parties. Up until Product Creation Studio found LiquidPlanner, there was nothing that helped them capture the flexible, adaptive style of project management. Project management is about integrity, if you create a project plan and a client thinks you are going to follow the project plan exactly, that’s not true. Product Creation Studio work in a field where there are way too many unknowns—they have to be honest with themselves and their clients that the initial project plan is their best guess. What they promise is to always communicate with their clients in a timely manner, any changes and why those changes are happening—LiquidPlanner allows them to do this. LiquidPlanner is built on the idea that work changes and has allowed them to nip a lot of problems they had in the past, while boosting communication and visibility with clients. LiquidPlanner allows them to talk about what’s real, pushing them to collaborate and solve problems—more time is spent fighting with the problem rather than each other.
