Why Is This The Most Important Question You Can EVER Ask...About ANY Project!

From the desk of: Arne Yri

http://www.ProjectManagementMadeEasy.com

Simply put...

The most IMPORTANT question about ANY project you can EVER runis the FOLLOWING:

HOW SERIOUS ARE YOUR MANAGERS - CEO'S and Board of Directoreseven at getting the PROBLEM (project) you're said to be managerof - RESOLVED?

So... Stupid Question you say?

Sure is, but in spite of stupidity - stupidity exists - and evenmore than you would first be able to imagine...

You see - you can ask yourself - and prepare yourself on ALL ofthe questions you'll find below (and more)...

HOWEVER: They will do you NO good - UNLESS you also askedyourself....

...AND..

NOT LEAST: Your management how SERIOUS they are about THISVenture you're now in charge of... or is about to be in chargeof...

B.S. you say?

Well, think again:

Who are the ones who hired you?

Company Management - Right?

So... If they had attorney and power to hire you - they sure cankick you outta' there too...

The Jewish have a saying that I find Extremely Handy to know,and keep in the back of your head at EVERY time...

They say - "The FISH will ALWAYS ROT from the head first..."(...and so it does...)

And TYPICALLY SO:

In EVERY of my projects - the main problem has - withoutexception - been management...

And... Sadly enough - some managers are NOT the grown up's theypretend to be when you get into their territory - And SADLY - tomany managers have way bigger an EGO than their POSITION withinANY organization should allow for...

Simply put:

As manager... This kind of BEHAVIOR is a courtesy - a luxury youcannot afford... or even yet...

however much you could AFFORD it - You're NOT entitled to it...

AND BEWARE:

As ProjectManager - You're Management... Right?

So, that may assume that before you know it... your head couldbe rotting too.... Without you even knowing...

So, I suggest you - that from time to time - you ask your crew- what they REALLY think about your performance...

Sure! When you're honest with yourself - you WILL KNOW when yourcrew - believes...

You're THE MOST #¤&#%/ up #"¤&"%/ S.O.B in the world...

Then...

Your job is to ASK them...

"What's UP?"

You may EVEN have to help them going - by calling yourself"ugly" things - admittion that you too - have the possibility ofbeing a TOTAL stuck up moron from time to time...

So - make sure you ask: Then... more often than not - peoplebeing to scared to speak their mind

(which is another DAMNED IMPORTANT question you NEED to askyourself - and keep in mind at every-time)

...you may need to help your crew off a little...

I've done that several times - and withouth exception - I wasthe one having to start it all... ..Giving me the hard side -the foul language and the whole pack...

ALL THINGS - I KNOW IS GOING ON INSIDE THE MINDS AND EMOTIONSOF MY CREW AND COLLEGUES...

BUT - it never STOPS there... Oh no! Not by far... This is onlyairing out the bad smell of the pipings... Clearing yourhard-disk and dust out the garbage...

Now, you need to ASK - OKAY - Allright!

So, exactly now - I'm the BIGGEST #¤&"/&/((%"¤¤#! monkey walkingthis planet...

BUT - unless you tell me WHAT WOULD YOU'VE DONE now if in mysituation - you're even more so a #¤&"% then me...

Well, sure - you may chose your wordings somewhat differently -but - mostly - people will NOT tell you in your face - directly- honestly - what's up...

UNLESS...

YOU MAKE IT EASY ON THEM TO GET STARTED!

Because they know... Just as you do.....

That you're management... too...

And... They also know that way to much management stink fromtheir heads - having to big EGO's to handle truth from someinsignificant 'numb-nut' sweeping the floors...

But I sayeth upon thee...

You're the numb-nut here - unless you listen - and listenCAREFULLY to the words of the 'little man' no matter howinsignificant...

AND, when done listening...

Especially if not immediately clear - resonant or hit you in thegut...

You ask...

Okey! And how is that....? Why is that....?

And HOW WOULD YOU DEAL WITH THIS...?!

And you'll be AMAZED - even though you happen to know a lot - ona lot of different topics...

And even though you may have 100 years university - degrees -diplomas - PhD's - Bachelor degrees... and what have you?

When you dare ask these questions... When you dare challengeyourself - and even 'belittle' yourself this way...

YOU WILL BE AMAZED - TRULY

- ON WHAT YOU WILL LEARN...

How much even a numb-nut may boil over with...

AND not least....

YOU'LL DISCOVER HOW MUCH YOU WILL PROSPER - PROFIT AND EXCEL -BECAUSE OF THIS COURAGE TO LISTEN - CHALLENGE - AND SHUT UP - TOLISTEN EVEN MORE...

Sure!

ALL of these questions are IMPORTANT... ABSOLUTELY....

1. How will know when you're done with the task? (What are thecontracts... etc...)

2. What activities and tasks are - and which are not included?(Limits)

3. What are Your assumptions and thoughts about the project team?

4. What assumptions are you making about the actions of allothers involved?

5. How do you estimate the total effort needed - and make itright?

6. How to work out the total schedule (project plan) - To workthis thing out?

7. How to successfully work out the correct allocation of effortand time between tasks?

8. What would happen to cost and bottomline by speeding upschedule by 25%?

9. What are the biggest risks that could cause schedule to breakor make costs exceed budget?

10. How will you know you're making progress, and how to measureit?

11. What to do in order to make sure things will get doneCORRECTLY the FIRST time, in order to save time and ten foldhassle later...

AND...

- What would happen to you and the project/task - if you shouldlose 50% - or more of your key resource's? (..and believe me -this can easily happen to you! Several times, when taking overso havoced projects you'd be embarrassed to call them yours -I've had to operate - months and months - with half my crew andmore on sick leave... and what have you...)

- Furthermore... How sure are you the resources you now have -will be yours to keep - 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months down theroad? (Yup! I can't count all the times I've had to fight -"cats and dogs" - over people - as well as resources -originally and truthfully dedicated and allocated to me...)

Important Stuff INDEED!

HOWEVER...

..Simply a waste - and you're doomed - unless you take intoaccount what I just took you through...

Because - you see - a lot of TROUBLE would vanish as out ofthin air if only more project managers (and managers... andCEO's... and... and...) would SIMPLY STOP playing John Wayne -Clint Eastwood/Dirty Harry...

...running the hallways like madmen

....shooting from their hips...

..being (rather feeling like they're the most important)hot-shots... (in the world...)

..Knowing NOT what they're actually doing...

(..And! Even trying to knock you down, when they startrealizing: "Ouch! Woaahh! What now.. This guy's actually indanger of serving us the results he told he would..." )

Anyways:

Dirty Harry might know how to make a PERFECT gunshot from hiship...

BUT - for the rest of us... and even you...

..We don't have that skill trimmed down...

So, let someone with that quality take care of YOUR shooting,and you simply just make SURE you get OUT of their way - lettingthem (your crew - preferrably) - PERFORM their work of ART...When they're the ones in the "know"!

THEN - when it's your turn to be B.O.S.S. - when finally - afterall - you know BETTER - you stand up - and then... BUT ONLYTHEN... you're in command...

Otherwise:... Wisen up - ask yourself:

Is there REALLY anybody ELSE - in my Crew

- or elsewhere - who could do this -

way better than me?

And is that resource REALLY available...

Again: You'd be surprised... Furthermore...

More important than ASKING these questions... Is the way youhandle the ANSWERS to these questions...

HOw you're actually dealing with what REALLY happens - and NOTsimply some LAME theories - that never even existed - and nevereven will...

NO!

Don't get me wrong - but - please do... if it makes you feelmore comfortable...

Theory is IMPORTANT as hell - BUT - without REALISTIC tracksBACK to REALITY - and ABILITY to ADJUST your theory to what isACTUALLY going on...

..You're simply stuck as pig in mud - until you Stop and ASKyourself - what's up... ..And truly listen... Looks...Digests.... Feels... Smell.. and what have you...

Then... Conclude... When you know what you're up against...

Until then - you're nothing but a servant 'door-sweeper'...Nothing but a simple servant fool - on your quest for truth andtruthful answers...

Beacuse the quality of the questions you ask - and the qualityof your ABILITY and GUTS - BALLS even (and believe me - ithappens I see women with more balls than us sorry assedmen...,-) to handle and ask these questions...)

..WILL determine the quality of the ANSWERS you'll get thrownback at you...

And NEXT: That - will determine the quality of your ACTIONS -THUS the QUALITY OF YOUR THEORIES...

And... Even MORE so IMPORTANT - when the ANSWERS you GET - areof a nature you don't like - or maybe even - outright disgustsyou....

..What questions do you cry out then....

SURE! Thinking - searching

- and asking for truth - that way...

THE BEST WAY - sometimes HURTS like hell...

When you're READY, You will discover even more secrets toSuccessful & PROFITABLE Project Management here... You get themoney... You get the credit... You REAP the GLORY or assignmentWell Done...

Your clients will Love YOU for it!

For now: Best Regards and MUCH Success
