"Crafting a Valuable Toolkit",Speaker: Lee R. Lambert, East Region Virtual Meeting (Wilmington & Jacksonville)

Power Skills

Topic:  Crafting a Valuable Toolkit

Objectives:

  • Evaluate the value add associated with key PM tools
  • See the benefit of manual creation of inputs
  • Improve your prediction of future status
  • Dramatically improve your assessment of cause/effect
  • Make more timely and beneficial decisions.

Description:

When I started in project management in 1966 there was no PMI. There were some project management tools:
• Harmonogram 1896 Polish
• Gannt Chart 1917 Henry Gannt
• Critical Path Method 1957 Dupont Corporation
• PERT 1958 U.S. Department of Navy
 
My, my how things have changed in the ensuing years. Now we have more tools than anyone could realistically evaluate in the course of a lifetime. AND, they are all automated so now you don’t only have to understand the tool you have to be a computer jockey to actually use it to improve your project management planning and decision making.
 
I am a believer in going back to the future. Returning to the key tools that have long ago proven their value in delivering timely, high-quality projects for all kinds of organizations. Remember, if it was easy, they wouldn’t call it work. Using these fundamental tools requires work and if you are not willing to invest some sweat equity you will never realize the benefits that come with the use of these early adoption tools. Once you get it, then automate. Don’t automate first!
