Project management is key to the success of every project. Period.
Archimedia is six years old and has had a lot of time to grow and learn. By placing this statement on here, it conveys the message that we still have growing pains and we don’t need to point out negative aspects.
What we do know is:
1. Extensive planning is vital
2. Proper personnel placement for all tasks
3. Never ever underestimate how vital it is to address change management as early as possible. For every 1% of stakeholder hesitance is 50% more work to get the project completed
4. A proper communication plan, so that there is never a moment that the client/supplier/vedor is out of the loop
5. Never underestimate how a project can turn in a moments notice. Prepare for all problems, pose solutions for potential problems before they happen. It is less of a surprise to everyone.
