Is your project getting a reality check?

There are times when every project manager needs to make sure that the project is getting ahead in the right direction. It’s status need to be checked so that the employees can stay informed and on track during the whole project.

It doesn’t a lot of resources or time to check your project’s reality, but the benefits are inevitable. It depends largely on the project’s scope. Manager’s can informally let everyone to know about the real goal of the project and to check the current performance according to that goal.

There are a few questions that a manager need to have answers for the reality check:

1. How much the extent has changed? Managers need to recognize whether the capacity or the scope of the project has shifted and up to what extent. If there are things that have been integrated within the actual project scope, then these extra activities need to deal with accordingly or else your project might face failures.
2. Is everyone still committed? Loss of commitment can be a dangerous aspect of our project to fail. Managers should pay attention that everyone is committed the way they should be. If not, then find the cause of exhaustion and resolve.
3. What is the  likelihood of project completion on time? Time management is a crucial element of a manager’s job. If the answer of the question is “no” then managers should re-examine the performance with everyone on board. And check for the possible solutions that might help you in getting on track and completing on time.
