Back to Square One: The Conceptualization Phase of Project Management
We never seem to have the time to do it right, but we always have the time to do it over! Although often neglected, the highly critical project conceptualization phase sets the stage for success. During this phase, a project manager and team will establish a project’s value and communicate its scope by answering the what, why, how, and how much of each project. CEU 0.8
Planning for Success: The Planning Phase of Project Management
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! The planning stage of any project is crucial to its on-going progress and successful completion. Skip it at your own risk! Place your important project(s) “under the microscope” and perform a careful analysis of task order (who is doing what when) so that— as a Project Manager—you can efficiently organize work flow, carefully assign resources, describe work assignments and precisely schedule resources. CEU 0.8
The Measure of Success: The Execution Phase of Project Management
Whether you’re a novice or expert, even the best laid plans never go according to plan! As a project manager, you’ll find yourself clarifying expectations, shuffling resources, changing targets, negotiating support, analyzing reports, adjusting budgets, sharing options (rather than problems), and communicating constantly. A well-planned project execution phase will allow you to avoid “scope creep,” manage the unexpected, and keep your team on track. CEU 0.8
