Effective Project Management and Implementation Support

Effective Project Management and Implementation Support

No matter how well-charted the plans are, the degree of a project’s success is determined by the success or failure of the implementation effort. As Project Managers, we ensure that the implementation effort is carefully orchestrated, well-coordinated, and effectively managed.

This entails:

• Scope management
• Procurement management
• Management of the triple project constraints
• Project personnel management
• Risks management in the project

• VIEW resistance to organisational change as rational rather than irrational
• REDUCE rather than eliminate resistance by measures such as avoiding surprises, obtaining top management support for the change, providing information, and encouraging participation
