Five Hacks for Handling Project Management Activities
- Conceptualization
It is the first and foremost step for the project management lifecycle. It involves identifying the objective or opportunity for the project. Clients who have no clarity of what they want and with vague requirements can pose one of the biggest challenges for the project manager and the entire team. It is necessary to address this challenge to kickstart the project efficiently and meet the client’s expectations.
The conceptualization phase starts with the creation of a business case that precisely explains the objectives of a specific project. It deals with the major concerns of the given project. A business case does not necessarily discuss the technical aspects of the project. Once the client approves the business case, the project management team takes a feasibility study for determining the viability of the idea. It involves the technical, economical, operational, and legal feasibility of the project idea.
- Making a Roadmap
This is another important stage of a project management lifecycle. Defining objectives and making a roadmap for the project enable every stakeholder to know where the project goes and how to achieve defined goals. Here the challenges remain as changing requirements, project deliverables, budgetary limitations, and the like. While making a roadmap for the project, the development team, and the client brainstorm to address these challenges effectively.
Roadmap or strategy planning includes budget planning, risk management, communication strategy, procurement planning, and quality planning to mitigate various challenges without hampering the product’s quality or performance. The project management software sets team quantitative criteria for ensuring successful project completion based on the roadmap.
