PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The Laws of Project Management (sort of!) 

• 1st:No major project is ever installed on time, within budget, or with the same staff that started it. Yours won't be the first.
• 2nd: Projects progress quickly until they become 90% complete, then they remain at 90% complete forever.
• 3rd: When things are going well, something will go wrong.
• 4th: When things just cannot get any worse, they will.
• 5th: When things appear to be going well, you have overlooked something.
• 6th: No system is ever completely de-bugged. Attempts to de-bug a system inevitably introduce new bugs that are even harder to find.
• 7th: A carelessly planned project will take three times longer to complete than expected.
• 8th: A carefully planned project will take only twice as long.
• 9th: Project teams detest progress reporting because it vividly manifests their lack of progress.

Project Planning and Implementation,
Shtub, Glard & Globerson

 

The ability to implement strategic and operational plans effectively is largely dependent on an organisation's ability to plan, prioritise and implement the many sub-projects that arise from such plans. Effective project management requires a mix of skills that include leadership, organisational ability, persuasive powers and political awareness of stakeholders’ agenda within the organisation, and above all ..........perseverance to the bitter end.
