Some organizations think they can run projects without a Project Manager
They believe that they can save money by having an engineer or administrator do the project managers tasks.
Here are some reasons why they are wrong:-
- All projects need managing.
- Project Management is a skilled profession which requires years of learning and development.
- A professional Project Manager understands how a project should be structured to ensure success.
- She will plan the project to minimize overall timescale.
- He understands how to get “stuff” done.
- A Project Manager makes team members life “easy” by scheduling activities & dealing with the politics & administration of the project.
- He understand conflict resolution and mediation.
So what is the likely outcome of trying to manage projects on the “cheap” :-
- The project will be structured poorly if at all.
- The timeline will be extended extensively.
- The inexperienced individual trying to manage the project will become completely overloaded & unable to cope with their own tasks.
- Rather than being cheaper costs will escalate out of control.
- Key deliverables will not be met.
- Customers expectations will be compromised.
- The business will be irreparably damaged.
If you really want to save yourself money hire the best project manager you can get.
