So you want to be a Project Manager?
Project Manager competence is an area where the individual and the organisation both need to accept responsibilities. Helping project managers build the skills they need to do a great job is as important as the individual taking responsibility for developing their skills and behaviours in a supported environment. Both will result in strong project management practices and project successes.
Planning – what makes a good project plan?
A good project plan is a key tool for the project manager, but how do you know if your plan is a good one? It should underpin communications and decision making regarding delivery dates, use of individuals time, budget 'burn' rate, and tell you something about the culture of your team.
