Project Management Tip No 104


Project Management Tip No 104

The Project Manager should spend 70% of their effort planning the project and 30% executing it.

Think about it. This may appear counter intuitive at first but the more effort put in to planning the project at the start the easier the execution will be. It is always tempting to run with the project before the planning is completed but this will only end in disaster. If the project is not thoroughly planned out the team will waste a massive amount of effort going down dead ends.

70% planning, 30% execution.
