A Project Management Rule: Keep your eye on the overall project
promises. Project work can be difficult. It is easy to loose
sight of what we are doing and why we are doing it. Remind your
team and yourself of the overall promises and how you are doing
fulfilling those promises.
The core variables of the project management process, namely:
product scope, quality grade, time-to-produce and total
cost-at-completion must all be mutually consistent and
attainable.
Are we using project management as a data repository for tasks
or are we using it as our monitoring and control tool?
Hopefully, project managers are using their project management
for both.
Large corporations such as insurance companies and banks may
also hire PMs to manage the implementation of new standards

or
practices in their many branch offices. Internet companies often
look for project managers to oversee site launches or the
development of new applications.
It is concerning that "poor project management" is often given
as the "excuse" for project failure. Similarly, Poor Resource
and Cost Management are a direct result of mismanagement of our
organization's assets, often resulting in poor project
performance, cost and schedule overruns, and even catastrophic
project failures.
Once you have defined the project management, you can plan to
deliver the required solution. Obviously, if you can meet all
the Needs and the majority of the Wants, it is going to be seen
as a resounding success. However, if all you can do is meet all
the Needs and a few of the Wants, it can still be viewed as
successful.
