Whos is not a Project Manager ???


     

What do you think a Project manager should be, i.e. what skill sets or Knowledge & experience he should possess…..Many men will have many minds and it may be limitless as in today’s scenario of turbulent changes in the technology & business space project owners need to learn several  hard and soft techniques to cope up with.


      
    

But 4 (4 C’s) must (necessary but not sufficient) skill/character they should have to be called as effective-efficient-efficacious PM.

1.  Communicative: Blood like information should pass / flow seamlessly through Artery like Communication media. PM should master the art & science of Communication so that right message /information are communicated to right stakeholders at right time.
2.  Collaborative: PM should be a self-disciplined, dynamic team player and having the attitude of group view than individual whim as Projects are joint intellectual property of many minds. Get respective stakeholders engaged at different stages of execution e.g. if clients are engaged from requirement gather phase itself then they feel more confident and it becomes easier to get the buy-in.
3.  Committed: Character shows a person and how better it could be measured other than the capability of delivering what one promises. Commitment makes or breaks relationship. A PM should stick to his promises made to different stakeholders and deliver that in time.
4.  Creative: How different you are get exposed by this skill. Creativity helps you stand apart /different from a crowd. A PM should think differently and give creative ideas to provide solution to the customers that fulfill their business needs and give competitive edge. A project encounters expected/unexpected challenges/ risks but PM should be capable enough to creative handle those.

Project & Portfolio Financial Management Go Mainstream



Project & Portfolio Financial Management Go Mainstream:    Financial Management Improves Organization Agility   -->



Without visibility into the planned initiatives and the impact of ongoing cross enterprise initiatives on attainment of strategic goals, or financial resource utilization, the enterprise will squander scarce resources and miss opportunities. While identifying the importance of initiatives relative to strategic goals is already part and parcel of any successful EPPM implementation, the recent addition of portfolio Financial Management to the traditional EPPM capabilities is the `missing link' that enables management teams in any firm to improve their control of deployment activities and fundamentally improve their organizations agility.

Making better informed management decisions -- and being able to follow them up with fact based Action Plans when external events change strategic priorities -- requires EPPM with Financial Management.
