Project Management - Tips For Successful Delivery
Author : alex maclennan
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing and managing company assets to manage the successful completion of designated project goals and objectives. If not done correctly, using the correct tools, the right staff and the correct philosophy, there is a threat that the project will not meet the needs of the client by way of quality and finish time and the company delivering in terms of cost.
Below are a range of hints and tips designed to smooth the process of project management so hopefully all will be content with the project.
1. In order to deliver a great project, the Project Manager must focus on 3 vital elements, returning the job on TIME, within the BUDGET and sticking to the QUALITY that was agreed at the planning stage.
2. “You can’t manage what you can’t measure” whether this be hours spent on a project or budget billed for external resources, it is critical for successful project management that you have tools and processes in place that can measure every element that will affect the eventual cost of a project.
3. It is the Project Managers responsibility to ensure that everyone involved in the project has a clear view of what the final deliverable will be. Everyone involved in the project must be pointing towards the same goals and any aspects that appear vague must be cleared in order to steer clear of problems further down the projects line.
4. While it is central that the project team has an understanding of the end game, it is important that this vision matches up to the expectation of the client. It is vital for the Project manager to ensure there are clear sign off point within project so the client can OK the work as it evolves. Not including the client in such a way can result in nasty shocks when it comes time to deliver. Some projects have a habit of evolving from planning to delivery, so make sure all interested parties are privy to the evolution process.
5. It is essential for successful project management that the project included a clear planning stage to ensure that everyone involved is pulling in the same direction. Invariably during the development of the project, event and circumstance will plot to change the original project plan. In such times it is the responsibility of the Project Manager to react and respond to these forces to keep the project moving forward.
6. The Project Manager must also keep every member of the team on their toes to ensure that the project is on time. In some events this could result in the Project Manager being seen by the rest of the team in a less than favourable light. This is an aspect of the job, but one that the Project Manager must rise above and elevate above, as once the project is delivered on time, on budget and to the wishes of the client, everyone will no doubt be friends again.
7. Set out clear instructions for each element of the project. It is no use jumping in two footed, if you can identify the important touch points throughout the project, then it is more likely everything will remain on track. If it is a large project it will be cost effective investing in some Project Management Software that will alert all interested parties with the milestones that are coming up and the time that they have to complete them.
