Description
Gan can you meet or beat the three objectives of project management-cost, schedule, and customer requirements-consistently?
Do you know how to use the three basic tools of project management-WBS, bar chart, and network diagram-together?
Is your project team "real-time"? Can you properly resize and staff to address specific customer needs-quickly and with certainty?
In terms of human assets, do you know who's best at what? Who works best with whom? Whose personality (not just skills) fits the team? Do you know how to lead this team without line authority-and have their full commitment?
If your customer demands that you meet cost, schedule, and spec, and that you report regularly your "earned value"-are you ready?
Real project management is complex and bi-focal. It puts to use a standardized set of technical and software control tools, yet at the same time demands broad vision, strategic understanding, flexibility, and human understanding.
