The primary objective of running project
management is to achieve project success. As other things your projects are
also bound to have challenges whether you like it or not.
The entire thing rests on your ability to
proactively assess probable challenges and account for them right from the
project inception.
Sure, this takes time and experience to get
good at it.
But let us get you a head start with some
of the most common project management challenges that we can mitigate with
careful planning.
Take an example of your last product or
website development project and work backwards in terms of the challenges faced
by the developers, designers and you as an IT Project Manager.
Client
Requirement – A one-liner email or discussion point
Any IT Project Manager or digital agency
would agree to the fact that this by far the most frequent challenge they come
across.
Having said that, it also makes it interesting
enough and opens up quite a big opportunity too.
One, you get an opening into helping the
user map
out his requirements, educate him and thereby build trust initially
which goes a long way during the course of the project.
And two, you get to demonstrate your expertise and
up-sell, cross-sell too which means additional revenue.
At the same time this can be very
frustrating when the client is unsure of what he wants, what are his goals and
the vision of the final outcomes.
