We believe in establishing a foundation for Project Leadership. Team members now are more educated than ever before and we believe they should be led through projects, not managed. It’s the systems and processes of a project that we manage. Setting a foundation and culture of how to think about projects is our expertise.
Since we’ve started managing projects, we’ve seen the most project success when teams establish a project management foundation which includes both team leadership and process management. Taking what has worked from those teams, we’ve designed a simple project management foundation to reduce project variability and complication.
When a project management foundation creates predictability and a clear project path, our team members are free to focus on their expertise. This allows the Project Manager to lead the team through a project more dynamically. The foundation also forges a connection between the work team members do and the task management system. Teams create habits to know what they are doing and how their work affects other team members within the project as a whole.
We believe in establishing processes to support habits in order to free our minds to create better products and services. Process automation, wherever possible, will augment habit formation and increase project success rates. We believe project leadership depends on being able to record what the project management foundation is, to train and establish habits, and to adapt as processes and environments change.
Project Leadership unlocks the true creativity and potential of the people who make a project successful, while Project Management shores up the high quality systems, processes, and consistency needed in today’s competitive environment.
