Hey Warren,
You asked about how Project Management works. The process I use is
very small but reminds me every single time of what Project Management
is about.
- Plan
- Do
- Review
Most people find themselves in the planning stages identifying risks.
There's also mitigations to the risks, and ... dependencies,
assumptions, issues, unknowns, gap analysis, .. along with time
tracking and project metrics.
Eventually the project moves into the Do Phase and if the planning was
good enough, most things go smooth. =) However, some things don't so
there's Project Change Management.
The Review Phase, is one that is usually skipped, sadly. This gives
the team a chance to voice what worked, and what didn't. That way
additional risks, assumptions, issues, unknowns, gaps, timing and
metrics can be accounted for that were discovered during the Do Phase.
Hope this helps,
Mike,
