Mike was a functional project manager in an organization where I managed a PMO. He was winsome and a hard worker. But his projects were trending in the wrong direction and his manager was not happy with Mike's performance. In a one-on-one meeting, I asked Mike how he was identifying, analyzing, and managing his risks. His response revealed his belief in risk management but a lack of actual application with his teams.

There’s never enough time when managing a project. That’s why we make schedules—to try and control time, just enough to get your deliverable by the deadline. But even the best laid plans tend to go awry, to paraphrase the poem. Project managers don’t have the luxury to quote poems to stakeholders when going off track. Changes in a project are common, but it’s the project manager’s responsibility to make sure that those changes don’t produce a negative impact on the project schedule.

When managing a project, one is required to make a lot of key decisions. There is always something that needs executing, and often that something is critical to the success of the venture.

Whether it’s developing a new product or securing investment, where the process involves a series of steps, it should be managed like any other project.
