Project Management Course

Project Management Attraction

Here are the reasons that lead down the formal project management route. Hopefully, these insights will prove helpful to people awarded project management roles because of their expertise in other areas.

1. Projects fix things.

Projects affords the opportunity to fix things.  Projects are not unlike taking items apart and building them back up again. You have a product or service with a set of parts.  You would like to improve this product or service. In the first instance you must understand existing processes. Just like putting something back together again there are limited instructions on how to achieve success. However with projects you need to create a project plan to determine the, (a) what, (b) how, (c) who, and the (d) how much.

2. Projects force you to think outside the box.

Project managers have to deal with constant risk and uncertainty. A bit like a small child constantly asking that often difficult to answer “why” question PM's normally ask the “what if” question.  Projects often mirror real life scenarios. We don’t ever know what’s around the corner but we learn to adapt.

3. Projects bring the best out in people.

Working with people on project teams to achieve successful outcomes is one of the most rewarding aspects of roject management.

4. Projects yield measurable results.

The project’s outcomes are more than the successful completion of a building or installation of a process or technology. Projects by nature have predefined benefit.The production of visible results from a project can be very exciting. Benefits realisation is normally not immediate. Normally PMs would have moved to the next project prior to benefits realisation and often miss that “wow” moment of benefits realisation.
