Communication is the vehicle for successful projects. From the beginning to the end of a project, the project manager and team must plan, execute, and deliver the required products and services while interacting with stakeholders. What are you doing to improve your project communication? Project managers are not lone rangers. Projects involve interdependent relationships such as the sponsor and other leaders, the project manager and the project team, and users interacting with the systems.

If someone asked how much value you get from a day of work, what would you say? Odds are, you’d give one of the customary responses — a fair amount of value, not much value, a lot of value, etc. Unfortunately, these answers aren’t helpful and aren’t valuable to projects. The schedule performance index was created to eliminate the guesswork and give a specific, quantifiable answer to the question, as well as show where improvements need to be made for maximum efficiency.

Did you know that 56% of your project budget might be at risk due to poor communications? Perhaps that number (from research by PMI ) surprises you, but I’m sure you aren’t surprised by the fact that good communication management on projects leads to higher success rates.

One of the most valuable resources in a project is the people (developers, engineers, subject matter experts, etc.) who support it.

I remember studying for my PRINCE2 exam and taking plenty of sample papers and mock tests. They were all on paper back then, and learning to deal with the style of questions and the time management required to get through the exam was as important as knowing your way around the manual. These days, the best exam prep I can suggest for PRINCE2 certification is to use online exam simulators.

This is valid because topics like risk management can be contentious, and having multiple sources of the ‘truth’ does not help. Even the terms ‘risk management’ or ‘schedule risk analysis’ are open to interpretation.

However, we all know that the road to success is fraught with risk, as it’s often associated with new opportunities that lead to better results. The process of managing projects is always accompanied by a certain degree of uncertainty and risk. While uncertainty is something unmanageable and not so easily taken under control, risk management is one of the necessary components of a successful project.
