In Part 4 of this five part series on smart project management, we’ll discuss the concept of managing the meetings. We’ve covered the topic of making the customer work for you by keeping them assigned to tasks and engaged on the project, the topic of letting the team manage the project budget by keeping them in the loop, and the topic of scaling the deliverables by making deliverables – especially early planning documents – appropriate for the size project you are managing. Now we’ll examine the topic of project meetings.
We all hate meetings from time to time. If you’re like me, there have probably been hundreds of meetings that you’ve been asked to attend and afterwards you wonder why you were forced to sit through that hour of your life that you can never get back. Too many meetings are called by someone just so that they can feel and sound important and waste your time. At least that’s how I’ve felt after leaving some of the meetings I’ve attended in my professional life.
