Stunt 1: Rational allocation of resources

1. Configure "Hard Resources"

"Hard resources" refers to the labor, materials, machinery and other production factors that must be invested to complete the progress. What the project manager should do is to find the "gap" between the progress plan and the ability of existing resources to complete the plan, and then make up the "gap" by optimizing the resource allocation and using the resource replacement time to ensure the realization of the time limit for a project.

2. Configure "soft resources"

"Soft resources" refers to the management environment in the process of completing the progress. In the process of organizing and implementing a project, the supervision and inspection of external organizations such as government, industry, owners, supervisors and enterprise legal persons are essential. These individuals or organizations are called "project stakeholders" (individuals, groups or organizations that can influence decisions, activities or results). Project stakeholders have different management purposes and different expectations for project management.

Therefore, if the schedule is to be successfully completed, the project manager should not regard the project as a static system, not to mention the management requirements of project stakeholders as interference, but as a "resource".

According to the survey conducted by Standish Group in 2013 years, 6 1% of successful projects are due to the effective support of senior managers and organizations, while 70% of failed projects are due to the lack of ability and support of senior managers. Limited by the management angle and professional ability, the project manager should not expect the project stakeholders to actively understand and support you, but should clarify and manage the needs of stakeholders and try to unify the expectations of all stakeholders, so as to create a good management environment for the progress implementation.

Stunt II Mobilization and Incentive Mechanism

1. Full participation

The project manager should organize all staff to participate in the formulation of the progress plan, which can not only fully obtain information and brainstorm, but also unify thoughts and define goals.

Create an atmosphere

It is not enough to make a schedule, and the project manager must also learn to "build momentum". In addition to traditional slogans and slogans, we should also rely on the power of new media such as the Internet and mobile phone media. The role of new media is not only to have a wide influence, but also to reflect the dynamics of the project in real time, so as to affirm the achievements of outstanding employees in time. We should give full play to the positive role of theoretical guidance and strengthen our confidence in completing the construction period.

3. Staged incentives

Not only the final acceptance node can be set in the schedule, but also the milestone node should be set. Milestone node is a "small goal", but it plays an important role as a lighthouse. A bright light in the dark will give people the motivation and hope to keep moving forward. Therefore, the goal should not be too far away, and it should be encouraged in stages. Adopt positive incentives such as encouragement and reward to keep the project team full of energy and passion, then rush from one milestone to the next, and finally achieve the time limit for a project.

Trick 3 Good self-management.

1. Manage emotions

In the process of implementing this plan, we will inevitably encounter various difficulties, problems and setbacks. In this case, the project manager, as the "leader" of the whole project, must maintain his passion, transmit positive energy and positive thinking, and never transmit negative energy such as complaints to the project team to avoid the "kicking cat" effect in management. The project manager should be confident, inspiring and influential about the duration of the project. If he doesn't believe in a timetable, how can he lead the team to achieve it?

Manage your body.

As a project manager, staying up late, working overtime, communicating and socializing are inevitable. Therefore, it is very important to maintain good physical fitness. It is obviously impossible to work and rest according to the rules put forward by health experts. However, it is necessary to maintain a healthy attitude, moderate exercise and a nutritious diet. The efficiency of the project manager determines the efficiency of the organization to a certain extent. If they are not healthy, the efficiency of the organization will be compromised. The project manager should learn to manage his own body, instead of sacrificing his own body to complete the project task.

Trick 3 Good self-management.

Management time

In schedule management, the project manager can neither be a "cutting shopkeeper" nor a "firefighting hero". A competent project manager is "do it when it is time", which can quickly and effectively solve the important and key problems encountered in the process of construction organization, and will not slow down the whole construction progress because of waiting for the decision of the project manager. Some project managers are always busy, not necessarily dedicated, or they may not manage their time well.

According to the "four quadrants" of time put forward by American management scientist Covey, work is divided into four categories: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, not urgent and not important. Many project managers are always busy with the urgent and important things in the first quadrant, while ignoring the important but not urgent things in the second quadrant. As everyone knows, many urgent things are evolved from non-urgent things. Therefore, the project manager should learn to manage time and liberate himself.
