When you start, you need to think about how your project will be better than the last one, and this means you should constantly keep the customer's circumstances in mind and think about what they want. Employees will be enthusiastic about the project if you emphasize how important it is. So you should aim to convince them of how crucial teamwork is, and if you can do that, you're more likely to get the best results, Also, good managers have a constantly updated picture of the project performance, and to achieve this, you need to be efficient at record-keeping. As the project gets going, you should always keep employees informed and involved in what's going on, so that they understand any constraints. At the same time, this will help them to appreciate the progress being made. And try meeting across boundaries. In well-managed projects, you'll find that any meetings that are held are not exclusive to the project workers, but include people from different disciplines who work in the same organisation. These 'outsiders' may come up with fresh approaches, which can speed up the whole project. |
