Projects a like the compost heap in your garden. They need the right ingredients, the right management to produce the right outputs.
Project management methodologies are excellent at giving a tool for the project manager to use to deliver a project. But methodologies can be incorrectly applied to the detriment of a project. They should be adapted and changed to ensure that they are a tool for success rather than an inhibitor. It is more important for a project manager to understand the basic delivery fundamentals and then to apply the correct methodology for that project over these.
When presented with project management or operational management challenges, sometimes it can be overwhelming. The sheer magnitude of the problem at hand seems to defy the ability to address and manage it. And yet it has to be. So how should this be done?
Project issues always arise. How they are handled will determine whether they come up again or are dealt with once and for all. It is important to deal with the root cause of the issues rather than merely the symtoms.
Having the correct project resources is imperative to ensuring success in a project. Often businesses can be pushed to offer starting a project before all of the right people are in place, but this will only damage the end result. Surely its better to wait until all project resources are in place prior to starting.
Effective project management will enable a project manager to mitigate against most risks that are likely to occur. But there are sometimes no answers to be found for potential issues. These project management issues still need to be tracked in the same way as conventional risks and treated in the same manner also.
Project management planning is crucial to help deliver successful projects. Guesswork in defining tiemlines simply doesn’t work. Project management planning is about understanding what you are delivering based on both expertise and previous experience.
