“Which steps do I have to take and in which order? What should I pay attention to? Who do I have to talk to in advance? What are the goals of the project, who are the stakeholders? What are the expectations of the management, the customer, the suppliers and not to forget the team members? And, and, and … All these questions come up and now you face great challenge.”
The project start is still underestimated. If you look at the many projects that get into crises, fail to achieve their goals or are even aborted, significant mistakes have already been made during the project start. Similar to a check-up at the aircraft start, very good preparation is an important prerequisite. Take advantage of the experience of a project coach. Shape the start of the project with him as a sparring partner. The right questions in the right order, project checklists that have been used successfully for years and the irreplaceable experience of a project coach are a guarantee for a project start with success. Project start – set the course for success with an experienced coach!
… and can no longer see the wood for the trees. Nothing really wants to work and your project is in a crisis? What is the difference between an experienced and an inexperienced project manager in such a moment?
“The deadlines are not met. The customer becomes restless and starts complaining. The suppliers call and ask when the missing information will finally be delivered and you have been running after the team for weeks so that the agreed tasks are completed. By the way, your budget is overdrawn and the management asks critical questions.”
Even an experienced project manager can get into this situation. The good project manager will ask for help at this point, the less good project manager will continue to try to solve the problem using the same unsuccessful methods. Consult an experienced project coach. He will give you the view from the outside. With experience, a proven and structured approach and the necessary sensitivity, he will simply disentangle the tangle of causes, effects and solutions for you, point out the weak points and offer possible solutions. No matter whether you want to gain time and need short-term success or want to identify the causes in order to steer the project towards long-term success: a project coach is a worthwhile investment.
An important project workshop is scheduled. Beside you as project manager a moderator is needed. Do you want to take on both roles at the same time or would you rather be supported in the preparation and leave the moderation and documentation to others? Not every moment and every decision in a project is equally important and decisive, but the “big moments” do exist. An experienced project manager will intuitively tell you when it’s really “do or die”. Then there is no need to make any mistakes, but rather to make “smart” decisions, to win over the management with the right approach, to get the team involved or to prepare for a major change. In such situations it is not enough to have the knowledge and to build on facts and figures. Experience and intuition make the difference. You have the choice between a mediocre or a world-class project. In important moments – build on experience! Call on the competence of a project coach.
