How Tech Environments Can be Transformed Through Project Management Posted: 11 Jul 2017 03:15 AM PDT Project management is the careful planning prior to a project beginning and the consistent monitoring which is needed to keep a project on track. There are five key principles which apply to any project regardless of the sector it is being used in. Initiation, where a means of addressing a problem is established; planning; execution, where the project team begins working to deliver the project; monitoring and controlling, which takes place throughout a project to ensure its success and, finally, closing which is where the project's success is evaluated. In tech environments these project management principles vary slightly. IT project management can include areas such as software development, business analytics and data management, among others. PRINCE2 training courses from The Knowledge Academy will teach you an effective approach to project management which can be applied to any working environment. Higher Success Rate In IT, there is a tendency for companies to repeat the same processes time and time again. This can lead to a high rate of project failures. Reasons for these failures vary but most commonly projects fail due to the lack of knowledge about the challenges IT projects pose and due to software going wrong. Projects in the tech industry are also susceptible to the rapid rate of tech progressing, so if companies fail to keep up-to-date with the trends they can find it difficult to complete projects efficiently. With careful project management a project is assessed in each stage to ensure that resources aren't being wasted and that timescales are being adhered to. Project management will also help to address any problems with knowledge or software as the project progresses, which means it is less likely to miss a deadline or fail completely. Better Communication Implementing project management techniques can dramatically improve the communication within in a tech environment. If everyone is responsible for an element of a project yet deadlines are not being met, the issue may be with miscommunication or unclear instructions. Establishing a clear project manager for each member of the team to report to will ensure the project is meeting targets. Using project management to ensure each step is accounted for, and the project is regularly discussed, will help with delivering it successfully. Structural Changes Using project management can completely change the structure of your tech environment. Project management will help to identify the best members of the team to take on a project, which could involve changing the regular structure of your workplace. One of the aims of project management is to adapt continuously throughout the project process, which means your projects will meet the specific requirements of the project instead of generic criteria. These are only some of the ways in which project management can transform a tech environment. Although new methods may take time to implement, the results are worthwhile. It is important to continually review the project management techniques used to ensure that you are keeping up-to-date with the most successful and effective ways to organise and oversee a project.   The post How Tech Environments Can be Transformed Through Project Management appeared first on Android Apps.
