A project manager who can’t say no will eventually drag a project down.
Every PM worth their salt knows that means delivering a genuine warts and all perspective on the project and its issues.
So here’s our tip for the day.
Remember that EQ will trump IQ every time. Read the room. Be respectful, but not apologetic. But ultimately saying no is often not only the right thing to do. It’s your job.

To have an effective team on any technology project – or any project for that matter – requires that team members have capacity, capability, and chemistry.
What does this mean? It means each individual member must have sufficient time and the right skills to deliver what is required of them, and that those individuals are able to function well together to produce an outcome greater than the sum of their individual parts. Without the right people connecting as an effective team your project faces an uphill battle to succeed.

As we head into a week in lockdown it's hard to focus on what can be achieved and how project deadlines will be affected.

Especially in times of uncertainty, having a clear vision of a project's goals and a talented team with their eyes on the prize are just one small part of the equation.
What brings it all together is having an experienced PM to bring it all home, working with you to deliver your vision.

A sponsor’s life is hard. The project’s yours. For better or worse. People above are asking tough questions. Scope creep. Budget blow-out. Schedule over-run. Recovery plan??
And people below have no answers…That’s a hard place. If you’ve been there you know it.

But anyone who’s been there knows the first step to project recovery requires something even tougher. So tough, in fact, many sponsors shy from it. It takes a lot to admit you’ve got a problem. That your plan isn’t working. And you have no idea why…

And then there’s the responsibility. This is your baby and it’s your duty to bring it home. It might be easier to firefight, right? Get into the weeds… micromanage your way out of it? It’s an attractive option, but ultimately doomed to fail. A sponsor doesn’t get paid to be a PM.

Once you know you have a problem there’s only one route out of town. And that’s appointing a specialist. Luminate’s recovery specialists cut through the noise with models that provide facts and business outcomes. Methodology agnostic, we’re here to deliver https://bit.ly/33PxREe

There’s not much that I haven’t seen before when it comes to projects. And that’s why it’s easy for me to see the warning signs up front.
At the end of the day a PM’s job is simple. Provide estimates and plans, and be on top of the project. If your PM can’t do that, then you need someone who can.
Don’t put your project and reputation at risk any longer than you already have, take action now. Remember – rush early, not late.
