The happy path for a project manager is shepherding their project’s delivery from start to finish. Just like raising one’s own child to the point where they have become an independent adult, there is a sense of accomplishment which you only get from having been there at the beginning and witnessing the successes at the end. But as with all journeys, there are exceptions.

What is a ROM estimate used for? A rough order of magnitude estimate is used to give you a very high level view of potential project costs. Ideally, you’d be able to provide a definitive estimate, carefully created from loads of input from subject matter experts and plenty of research on past projects and their budgets. But in reality, we rarely have the time or luxury of being able to provide that level of estimate at the earliest stage of project.

It’s not that they are resistant to the idea of creating an Agile organisation.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched. CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?

Running a project is akin to reading a book. You have a beginning (otherwise known as the project charter) and an ending (the project closeout). A book consists of many chapters, just as there are numerous “highs” and” lows” of running a project. In the following article, I’d like to make some suggestions that I hope will give you more project “highs” than “lows.

Managing a project is a team effort. Throughout the lifecycle of your project, it’s crucial to maintain communication with team members, executives, clients and other stakeholders. In order to do so, you will no doubt be sharing different types of files that contain data about the project.

Projects can get very hectic. There’s a lot to look out for in an ocean full of tasks and deliverables.
