How To Properly Manage A Project

By William Meyer


The first thing and the most important when starting any project is to define the scope. You should know what it is that you are trying to accomplish or create. So, you will have to go back to your objective. You have to get the definition from your boss to clarify everything, including the scope.

Determine the available resources that can help in achieving the right output. What you need to know is the overall amount that is allocated for it including other resources such as equipment and so on. If the job description involves product management then know that resources are not controlled by you but you need to manage it.

The timeline is significant to know what you can start or finish it. When making the plan, flexibility is a must especially because it involves time. Fix all deadlines that are given to the team. If there is a need for overtime works then ensure that it will not totally affect the budget that is given for it.

You need to make sure that the team is properly assemble in the process. You have to get all of them together then do a meeting to dialog with the people involved. Experts should be hired for it. Expertise is vital because the task can be crucial and if they are not experts then success would be impossible.

Detail each work. Identify the major components in order to complete the project. Determine what is required at a higher level. It could be the place, guests and other things that will make it successful. If there are larger items, make sure to break it down into several additional items as part of the step that you have to do.

Assign a certain individual or team in charge of the different components. Work with the individuals involved then talk about the details to attain the necessary goal. All the people must understand the process including the cost limitation and it should support the overall scope. You must write down the steps needed to discuss the complexity of the tasks.

Another is creating the preliminary plans for it. Analyze the required steps for every plan. You have to also create a precedence table to determine the proper order of the necessary components. Determine which path is more critical based on its network diagram then focus on it. Order all the activities involved then determine the issues so that it will be addressed immediately without ruining the project.

A baseline plan should also be created. Do it by collecting the feedback on the first plan from your group and stakeholders. Adjust the timeline or the schedule to meet the target time. There are adjustment to be made to the plan to acquire the targeted outcome of the projects which are assigned to you.

The truth is there is almost never enough money, time or talent that may be assigned to the project. The job of a manager is to make use of the limited resources no matter how unrealistic it could be. Make a case then present it so that a request for change will be made. Do not wait until it is trouble to ask for it.
