DECLARATION OF PROJECT
SCOPE

Planning is an absolute necessity in project

management. While its enticing to rely on
experience and wing-it, its much better to
take the time to establish an initial plan of
action. Regardless of how easy a new
project might appear to be, there are always
potential dangers waiting to delay the
project and blow its budget. Project
managers must clearly outline the
approaches to be undertaken before
starting any new project.

ESTABLISH CRITICAL & NONCRITICAL PATHS

Every project manager should be well

aware of the importance of identifying
critical & non-critical paths. However, the
importance is not to identify them during
the project management phase, but to
identify them before-hand and properly
assess their potential impact on the overall
project. The best approach is to identify
those critical paths and provide working
scenarios on how best to manage delays,
should they occur.

USING COMPILED DATA

A project managers success is dependant

not only on their own abilities, but on the
combined efforts of those they work
alongside. Using compiled data is essential
in assigning priorities, keeping track of
task completion, and project accounting.
Project managers must have one central
document, project management software or
unified platform where they are able to
track real-time data.

MANAGE THE PROJECT,

.. NOT THE PLAN

Its paramount to success that project

managers focus on managing the project,
and not trying to force the project to meet
their initial plan. Delays are commonplace
in project management. However, their
impact is mitigated when the individual
focuses on finding solutions to the problems
in front of them, rather than spending too
much time on why the delay occurred.
Manage the project and its delays in realtime, and review why the initial plan failed
after the project is completed.

RELYING ON COLLABORATE
EFFORTS

Its essential that project managers come to

rely upon the input provided by coworkers
and peers and do everything possible to
avoid duplicating efforts. Redundancy is a
killer in project management and does
nothing more than add time and increase
costs. Clearly defining work tasks, and
properly assigning them, is essential to
success
