Is Your Glass Half Empty? - James Roy
Managing the intricacies of multitask projects can be fraught with peril, as both customer satisfaction and project profitability hang in the balance. The difference between success and failure in such ventures ultimately rests in the hands of the project manager. Over the years, I’ve seen remarkable project managers save otherwise doomed projects, and conversely, I’ve seen how poor project management practices can scuttle potentially successful projects.
Over a long career in managing projects, I’ve compiled my own list of best practices in managing projects; I’ve also learned what makes an effective manager of project managers. I’ve captured these observations here in an attempt to share them with others who are, or could be, project managers or who are responsible for managing multiple project managers in a project-based business.
My objective is to define what I see as the critical traits and philosophies held by project managers and to highlight the mistakes made by project managers and their management. In each case, I will show what should be the routine practices of a successful project manager or project business manager.
