Better Project Management Matters
“Many organizations appear to be complacent about the situation, figuring that once they implemented a project management office and a project management methodology, all they had to do was sit back and watch the benefits flow in. Wrong. What is missing is that more focus needs to be put on project management as an operational competency.
Success in supporting project management as an operational function requires two things;
1) an understanding that project management is a tool, and
2) implementation of organizationwide discipline related to the management and practice of the tool. ”
>> We see this frequently in our day to day relationships with vendors and clients. Project Management is often viewed as a destination instead of a way of doing things….and the “Project Management” term has become a buzz word. You don’t just install Microsoft Project and say “we’re doing project management now”. Project Management is a way of getting work done and the software is the tool…not unlike Adobe Photoshop for a designer. – Michael
