Today HR Professionals, Administrative Professionals, and other Non-Project Managers are asked to perform operations once performed by specialists. These activities are actually “projects.” Because management may not recognize these assignments as projects, people may not receive training or tools to help manage the work efficiently and effectively. Work is added to an already full schedule, major decisions have been made elsewhere, and you may have no “team” to help. You can plan, execute, and manage projects to get desired results on time and on budget. Adapt widely used approaches to manage projects successfully while avoiding the biggest pitfalls for any project manager. You do not need to be called a project manager to be a successful one. Carry these new skills into all your assignments to enhance your existing good performance. Prepare to take on more advanced work and demonstrate your value and progress.
