Die Hard Fantasy Football Players Find Help Managing Teams with Project Portfolio Management Software

Players in fantasy football leagues mean business. Some individuals sign up for as many as 10 or 15 leagues at a single time. When it gets to that number, it can be pretty tough to manage all the teams. Most players rely upon the good, old fashion pen and paper, but a new trend is taking over fantasy football – the use of project portfolio management software.

“We have discovered that the same software contractors and business managers use to watch accounts can be helpful in the fantasy football world”, explained John Smith, a fantasy football league member for over 10 years. “It makes it a lot less confusing and can really come in handy when you need to make a quick trade.”

The project portfolio management software allows individuals to create accounts for each league. The players are then able to manage who is on their team, how well those people are doing, when games are scheduled to be played, and store other important information. The software even allows people to compare previous records of other players on the team.

“One of the biggest challenges in fantasy football is knowing your opponent”, explained Smith. “This software allows players to monitor their opponents and when it comes time to face them, you know what you are up against.”

The biggest reason this is so important is because stakes are being raised in fantasy football leagues all across the country. Some fantasy football leagues require individual who lose or come in after a certain place to ‘pay up’. Paying up does not involve money, but it can involve other things like tattoos.

“We had a league of fantasy football players who if they lost, they had to get a tattoo that the other individual picked out”, said Smith. “Those people don’t want to walk around with a bad tattoo. That is where this project portfolio management software will come in handy. It really ups the stakes at fantasy football and allows people to stay on top of all their leagues.”

Currently, individuals are using the industrial project portfolio management software programs. However, some manufacturers of this type of software are thinking of making a fantasy football league version. This version will be tailor made for fantasy football and allow them to neatly store the information they want and need on the software’s dashboard.
