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.

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. Depending on the project management tools that you use, you could end up with files of various types—and this can cause compatibility issues.

A book consists of many chapters, just as there are numerous “highs” and” lows” of running a project.
