When it comes to
business success, you must be proficient in project management. Project
management is very straightforward. You can set a deadline and set right people
in the right place to get things done correctly.
A majority of my
conversations with business owners have a common theme of not getting desired outcomes
even after long work hours pumped in by their employees. And I would answer
them back with – How good is your Project
Management? & How empowered is your PMO?
Requirements to
resource mapping is critical in defining your project team and thereby crucial
to project success. Running a project with a team without the required skills
will always lead to scope creep and delay your delivery.
To overcome these
situations, let’s have a quick look at some of the important project management
tips to keep your teams on track.
"Get the right people. Then no
matter what all else you might do wrong after that, the people will save you.
That’s what management is all about."
- Tom DeMarco
“Project management can be defined as a way of developing structure in a
complex project, where the independent variables of time, cost, resources and
human behavior come together.” - Rory Burke
1. Create
Small and Flexible Team:
Before assigning any task to your team, make a small and flexible group/team
and define their roles. The chances of miscommunication are less in a small
flexible team and there is increased accountability to deliver end to end
results. Each team member gets involved with the sprint planning to do their
specific tasks.
2. Align
Team with Company Goals:
As a project manager or company owner, ensure your projects & teams are
aligned with the company goals to obtain optimum results. Absolute clarity on
the strategic direction among the team would go a long way in having a
motivated and productive workforce.
