Project management steps
As a professional project manager, our task is to integrate, coordinate and support work of the project members, in order that project objectives should be achieved in the expected quality, within the predicted budget and time. We focus on communication, obtaining and sharing information with project stakeholders, so that we perform our task at a high quality.
A deliberated plan is the key during project implementation. Stakeholders’ expectations, project product’s quality and quantity requirements, project tasks and relationship between them, detailed schedule and budget, members’ tasks, used tools, risks and the method of risk management are all have to be determined in the project preparation phase.
During implementation phase, in order to keep budget and schedule plans, we are in a continuous contact with stakeholders. Regular reports are required, where potential problems and delays might detect, so their early correction allows to achieve original objectives.
One of the most important result of projects led by experts is the summary of project experiences, what can be used during later activities.
