Your Results
Based on your response, you may want to work on the following areas.
Communication
Managing a project can be a highly stressful. Good communication skills are
essential in helping you to work effectively, build solid stakeholder relationships,
prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, and navigate day-to-day deadlines.
Successful project management communication is about being supportive,
remaining on top of the day-to-day challenges of the project, being approachable,
and considering various points of view before taking action.
Planning
Planning is a core activity in the early stages of any project lifecycle. Planning and
organisational skills are essential to being an effective project manager. Taking
time to understand what your project is about, the benefits it should deliver, and
the essential activities that need to be completed is all part and parcel of laying a
solid planning foundation. Thorough analysis and evaluation in selecting the “best
approach” to undertaking and completing project activities will inform overall
project planning, communication, and stakeholder management by clearly
articulating the selected path to successfully achieving project objectives.
