Projects within a Corporation
Project Planning and Execution
Having a PMP® or formal project management certification demonstrates training and experience, but successful project delivery requires more than a credential. Many organizations already have employees who successfully champion small projects and improvements because they understand the business, the people and the day-to-day challenges.
These internal champions are valuable—but as projects become larger or more complex, informal project management can leave important gaps.
Effective project planning and execution should establish clear objectives, scope, responsibilities, timelines, resources, risks, dependencies, communication plans and measures of success. It should also consider organizational capacity and, most importantly, whether the people affected by the change will actually adopt and use the solution.
A project should not be considered successful simply because it was delivered on time and within budget. The real measure is whether it solved the original problem and delivered the expected business value.
Good project execution provides the structure to:
Define and control scope while managing changes
Establish realistic schedules, resources and capacity
Identify and manage risks, dependencies and constraints
Engage stakeholders and maintain clear communication
Prepare employees for change and encourage adoption
Track project performance and measurable outcomes
Document decisions, lessons learned and benefits achieved
