What is project management?

A project starts with an idea ... something new to be tackled, or a response to some other event.  The work to achieve a successful outcome has to be planned and managed, and problems dealt with.  This is where project management, as a formal method, adds value to the process.

What are some of the key elements?

Describe the project and the required outcomes accurately

Divide the project into manageable stages, tasks, and activities

Identify any risks and plan how to deal with them

Manage the work according to the plan

Document changes to the plan - these are called 'exceptions'

Monitor the quality of the work and outcomes

Communicate before, during, and after the project

Project management is used to ensure activities outside the normal operation of a business are successfully completed - often, you only get one shot at them, so they must be right first time.

Introducing U2-Project

U2-Project logoU2-Project a the project management framework developed and used by MANAGE-right, specifically designed for people who are not professional Project Managers.

What is different about U2-Project?

There are lots of different project management methodologies, and many 'promise' some miraculous effect on your project.  Under the skin, they are all variations on a theme, and have much in common.  They claim to be scaleable down to smaller projects.

U2-Project approaches project management from the other direction, being uncomplicated, and scaleable UP to larger projects.  It was developed out of practical experience in small departments and organisations.  While drawing on the HM Government-sponsored Prince2 framework, U2-Project avoids bureaucracy, rigidity, and verbosity.

Do you have a task which needs to be managed?

You many only get one opportunity to launch a new product

If your premises move is a nightmare, you can’t go back and do it again

But you can’t justify the expense of a professional Project Manager

MANAGE-right can provide you with the tools and training to manage those projects effectively in-house.  And we’re always just an email or phone call away should you have any difficulties.
