Secrets of Project Management
Time has always been of the essence. This is said to be the only constant factor of our existence. And of course with this existence comes life itself.
I am not here to tackle about the secrets of life or of success, but what I bring is an idea on how to deal with this long running project within each and every one of us.
First of is we need to know what we want to accomplish. Just like laying the groundwork or having a floor plan. This includes:
· Setting criteria to determine success of the project.
· Proper identification of probabilities and limitations if any.
· Set certain criteria or standards that has to be met.
· And of course know or gather certain commitments to anyone involved.
Next is to plan how to manage what is needed in accomplishing this project. Checking essential aspects like:
· Resources which includes but not limited to people, equipment and or materials needed.
· Next would be time and setting durations and identifying possible time constraints.
· And of course money and identifying costs and profits.
· Mostly too is proper education about the scope or the goals and the requirements needed.
Here comes the estimate.
· Estimate not the time but the work that can be done during the project duration.
· Include training time and motivations.
· If certain tools are available, then make use of it.
· Make sure to be aware of what ifs and have a contingency plan as well.
Lastly is progress tracking:
· Proper documentation is they key to tracking progress.
· Segregate open task and or closed projects so that follow ups can be identified as well.
Life is man’s greatest project. This holds true ever since the beginning of time. Put it this way, this is one long term project that everyone hopes to achieve with success.
