So, where do I start? • Design & appoint the project team – responsibilities & communication channels • Clarify scope of work & quality criteria • Identify resources needed • Plan & cost the project • Get to know your stakeholders
Ready to take the plunge? Communications
So, for all of you project managers out there… • Make sure you get the commitment from the business and your boss – work hard to keep it • Give yourself time to think – it’s time well invested • Don’t be afraid to say no and tell it like it is • Accept that you won’t get it right all the time • Accept that you can’t make everybody happy • Keep documentation to a strict minimum
