I identify as many potential project risks as I can, and I develop a plan to manage or minimize each one of them, large or small.
11 Because projects involve so many variables that change so often, I let the plan develop on its own, as time passes, for maximum flexibility.
12 I use customer/stakeholder requirements as the main measure of quality for the projects I manage.
13 I routinely monitor and reevaluate significant risks as the project continues.
14 I give people a deadline to complete their project work, and then I expect them to coordinate with others if and when they need to.
15 I keep all project stakeholders informed and up-to-date with regular meetings and distribution of all performance reports, status changes, and other project documents.
16 I define specifically what the stakeholders need and expect from the project, and I use these expectations to define and manage the project's scope.
17 Forecasting costs is more art than science, so I include extra funds in the budget and hope that I’m under cost at the end.
18 I present project status information in an easy-to-use and easy-to-access format to meet stakeholders' information needs.
19 Delivering on time and on budget are the most important things for me.
20 When I contract for goods or services, I often choose suppliers based on familiarity and the past relationship with my organization.
