Project Management
Me like everyone else, I am sure, can always brush up on organizational skills, so I have come up with a few tips for project management. Take a look, tell me what you think!
Project management can be decided in four parameters.
1. Scope - The project at hand. ( What the project is suppose to accomplish and what the end result should be.)
2. Quality - Scale of the event. Large, small, elegant, casual...
3. Time - Beginning to End.
4. Cost - The amount of money required to deliver the scope.
Five phases of Project Management.
1. Planning - Creating the objective. Specific, realistic, attainable - Cost, quality and Time.
- Budgeting
- Creating a Team and Choosing Resources
- Defining the task - Break down specific to dos in to attainable task. Don't overwhelm your self, arrange the task in order that they need to be completed.
2. Scheduling - Schedule your task with a start and finish date plus spare time.
- Arrange your time by working backwards from the finish date.
3. Controlling - Manage delays - by fast-tracking move up the started date on certain task that can be completed while waiting to complete the delayed task. You may also may have to work overtime to get things back on track. Another way to manage is to add resources, add more people to complete the project. Or even change or eliminate a certain task. Making changes can affect the overall outcome of the project. Make sure to weigh out your changes If you have to take from your time you may have to add cost or it may affect your quality. Make sure it levels out so that you don't compromise the finished projects outcome.
4. Execution - completing the task to finish the project
5. Closing - Finish the project. I always like to go back to the objectives of the event and show how each has been met. Then make mental notes to refer back to, to make the next go around easier and more organized.
Remember the old "6P's" - Proper Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance!
