In the field of project management, PMP certified project managers are highly respected professionals. Not only do they have a wealth of project management knowledge, but they also have a deep understanding of the various skills involved in project management. However, in practice, some project managers will use the "empty city strategy" to deal with project risks, which may seem ingenious, but in fact it is not advisable.
First, let's understand what PMP project risk management is. PMP project risk management is an important part of project management, which includes the identification, assessment, response and monitoring of project risks. During the project implementation process, the project manager needs to use various tools and techniques to effectively manage the project risk to ensure the smooth implementation of the project.
However, some project managers choose to use the "empty city plan" when faced with project risks. The so-called "empty city plan" refers to the failure to fully assess and respond to risks in the early stage of the project, and the problem is not discovered until the project is implemented, and then taking measures to solve the problem at this time is not only more difficult, but also the effect is often unsatisfactory. This practice not only increases the cost of the project, but can also affect the schedule and quality of the project.
So, why shouldn't project managers use the "empty city plan"?There are several reasons for this:
1.It is not conducive to the solution of the problem: the current problems in the project implementation process are often complex, if the initial assessment and response are not fully carried out, and then take measures when the problem arises, it is difficult to quickly find the root cause of the problem, which is not conducive to the solution of the problem.
2.Increased project costs: If the risks are not fully assessed and addressed at the beginning of the project, and measures are taken when problems arise, more human, material and financial resources need to be invested, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of the project.
3.Affect the progress and quality of the project: Because the "empty city plan" is not conducive to solving the problem, it needs to spend more time and energy to deal with the problem, which will not only affect the progress of the project, but also have a certain impact on the quality of the project.
Therefore, project managers should take a more scientific and effective approach when dealing with project risks. First of all, a full risk assessment and response measures should be carried out at the beginning of the projectSecondly, in the process of project implementation, it is necessary to pay attention to the changes in risks and adjust the response measures in a timely mannerFinally, when problems arise, they should be quickly and effectively resolved.
In practice, project managers also need to pay attention to the following:
1.Focus on team building: A good project manager must not only have a wealth of knowledge and skills, but also focus on team building. By strengthening communication and collaboration among team members, improve team cohesion and combat effectiveness, so as to better deal with project risks.
2.Continuous learning and improvement: The knowledge and skills in the field of project management are constantly updated and developed, and project managers need to continuously learn and improve their abilities. Constantly update your knowledge and skills to adapt to the changing market needs by attending training, reading professional books, communicating with peers, etc.
3.Maintain a positive mindset: Project risk management is a challenging and difficult process, and project managers need to maintain a positive mindset. When faced with problems and difficulties, we must have the courage to face and solve them;Maintain faith and courage in the face of setbacks;Learn to share and celebrate successes when they achieve results.
In short, although the "empty city plan" is coincidental, the project manager is by no means available. When dealing with project risks, project managers need to take a more scientific and effective approach. Improve your ability level by focusing on team building, continuous learning and improvement, and maintaining a positive mindset. Only in this way can we better deal with various project risks and ensure the smooth implementation of the project.
