8 project management tips for setting and managing expectations … – CIO New Zealand

Project managers need to ensure expectations for clients and companies are realistic and can be done in a timely manner on budget. Planning a project and getting everyone on board is just a small step. Here are eight tips you can use from beginning to end if a project. Things you need to do while the project is ongoing and what to do if things go wrong. Setting expectations understood by all can prevent disappointment later on.

Key Takeaways:

  • A good manager will make the right team. He/she can add the people with the skills best suited for the goal, and customize the perfect group.
  • As best you can, try to clearly define a timeline from start to finish. That will be hard since different projects take varying amounts of time, but tentatively set one up for group goal setting.
  • Despite the best laid plans, sometimes things don’t turn out the way you think they will. Admit your mistakes openly, regroup, and continue pressing forward.
