Fear can inhibit project managers and project teams alike when challenged with a project management issue. This can allow project issues to fester and create bigger holes or problems later. Better to create a climate that allows for issues to be dealt with quickly.
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.
Often business project managers are aware of issues with their project delivery. But nothing is ever changed. Act quickly and with courage and see the benefits.
In project management, all sorts of useful statistics can be collected around project delivery. However, they are only useful if they are acted upon. Collecting statistics and analysing them for lessons that can be applied to future projects is a key part of effective project management.
Sometimes projects don’t go as effectively as we would like. But yet we sit on them and trust that they will get better. But projects won’t – at least not on their own. They need to be guided and if they are going wrong, the problems need to be faced and addressed.
Project management is about delivering to the assigned project dates. But those dates have to be reasonable. If a business fails to plan a projects timelines correctly, it will fail – leading to losing money or a disgruntled client.
THe project team is bigger than the project manager and the delivery team. It includes the entire business from the snr management team through to the sales department. Everyone has their part to play in enabling successful project delivery for their business.
