PMP in the Real World Becoming the facilitator…
The PMP knowledge areas help project managers by…
• Providing a checklist of tasks o An empty field on a template means I have more work to do.
• Providing guidance for issue resolution o Which hammer should I use?
• Outlining the role of a project manager o Can you act as the facilitator and not the decision maker?
PMP in the Real World Becoming an independent thinker…
Issues arise when a Project Manager…
• Considers themselves to be the final decision maker o Poor team morale, constant battles, stalled progress
• Allows emotions to govern the project o Data driven initiatives vs “pet projects”
• Plays the “blame game” o Pointing fingers at other team members and process owners
• “Buys-in” to a solution idea o Are you easily sold?
PMP in the Real World Becoming a holistic thinker…
What happens when a Project Manager…
• Strategically manages ALL stakeholders effectively? o Stakeholder Mgt. Plan = Buy-in, trust, accountability
• Accounts for ALL affected systems and processes? o Scope Baseline = Realistic expectations, organized tasks
• Manages ALL resources such as funding and personnel without going over budget? o Cost Baseline = Happy sponsor(s)
