On Becoming a New Project Manager

“The new zone is always challenging for everybody”. This sentence might be an exact impression that I can say about my new profession as a Project Manager. Having 10 year experience in software programming and development, I’m not new actually in a professional world of company businesses. Approaching my second year of project manager, I’m still considered still green for this position. Never mind. It is not an obstacle for me anyway to share what I had learned from this job during my first days. I would like to share about tools, processes, principles, and best practices that were proven useful to support the position as a project manager. Those elements may not be an absolute model by which everybody can apply effectively for their different situation of work. Yet, my personal experience would be an enriching idea from which individual project manager could take one or two inspiring lessons to carry out their jobs.

 

My first debut as a project manager was begun by a question on how to decide on the best method to carry out my projects successfully. Consulting companies came to me with the suggestion of applying their powerful method to bring a success for my project. I wasn’t really assured that the advice would help much as there is no definite method of success that works for different forms of projects. Finally, I decide to neglect the suggestions and tried to find my own method of making a project a success instead.

Perfect planning was my first concern to set up besides several factors that I thought they would help contribute to the success of project management. A perfect plan, in my opinion at that time, would bring a good direction of the project. Yet, the plan given was still away from what my developers understood about the project. I missed an importance of goal setting that signified principal ground of working with the developers on the same track of success. An idea of perfect plan eventually left nothing but a waste of energy to my project.

Being challenged to work together with a few developers, I got to realize that project team are the soul of a project success. They need the best conditions whereby they can focus on jobs and carry out well the tasks given on schedule. The best conditions that enable comfort nuance of work exactly. Since then, I knew that project management is not simply about the accuracy of minds and perfectness of plan on paper. It is more about how to work in team with a clear cut direction and comfort environment to bring a success for a project.

In conclusion of my brief experience to be a project manager, the following lesson might be useful and valuable

“Leave to me everything that makes you difficult to carry out this project. I will handle it. So that, you don’t need to worry anymore”

How to make sure that Best Practices can be used again at the initial stage of a new project? Whether those ideas resemble in whole project?

The process of project delivery involves modification due to the client request, different ideas, new environment, and contracted timelines. So people consistently throughout the process of modification try to reach the effective way and new ideas to deliver a project in good quality. This is followed by all level of IT organizations.

Hence the question is how to confine these best practices? So that it can be instantly used by other batch of people for new projects.

The method of reusing the best practices is very helpful to complete the existing project in quick manner.

But it is not possible to completely rely on this method to produce the quality project through organization and no guarantee to get positive feedbacks from the clients. Of course it’s very important to confine the rare and vital source. So this recognized resource can be appended to the record of best practices to point out the corresponding person who learnt or who use it. Mean while discussion get started between peoples, which in turn will initiates the sharing of knowledge and other useful data.

After some period of time definitely people begins to utilize it as platform to quickly study the relevant concept before beginning the project.

Stumbling Blocks:

It is necessary to find all possible ways to reach the project peoples and make them to add their experiences into records of best practices. Certainly it’s some what hard to attain it, so be sure whether this effort is helpful for your organization for long time.

Benefits of doing it correctly:

This will pave way to complete the major part of the project soon. Hence through this the effort to apply the rework is tremendously reduced and by the way the quality of project is guaranteed. Ultimately it will increase the productivity with no defects in the stage of post delivery and in process of working.
