Project Management Approach

Project Management Approach
1	When a project begins, work with its sponsor to negotiate and agree specific deliverables.
2	Consider a variety of cost alternatives when developing original project budget plan.
3	At the start of a project, formally outline what, why, who, how, and when with a Project Initiation Document – so everyone can understand how the elements of the project fit together.
4	Prepare a specific timeline and sequence of activities, and I use this schedule to manage the overall project to ensure its timely completion.
5	Clearly communicate what needs to be done by what deadline, and expect the people to whom I assign the work to be responsible for breaking down the work packages into smaller and more manageable pieces.
6	Outline clear expectations for the project team, and I manage their individual and collective performance as part of the overall project evaluation process.
7	Give people a deadline to complete their project work, and then I expect them to coordinate with others if and when they need to.
8	Identify as many potential project risks as I can, and I develop a plan to manage or minimize each one of them, large or small.
9	Routinely monitor and reevaluate significant risks as the project continues.
10	Define specifically what the stakeholders need and expect from the project, and I use these expectations to define and manage the project's scope
11	Keep all project stakeholders informed and up-to-date with regular meetings and distribution of all performance reports, status changes, and other project documents.
12	Present project status information in an easy-to-use and easy-to-access format to meet stakeholders' information needs
13	When a project gets behind schedule,  work with team to find a solution rather than assign blame.
14	Forecasting costs is more art than science, so I include extra funds in the budget and hope that I’m under cost at the end.
15	. Delivering on time and on budget are the most important things for me.
