Effective project managers have the skills to successfully deliver products and services on time and on budget, applying the best process methodologies to meet the requirements of any project. The key is defining the end solution, all customer requirements and using the most agile device in project management, effective people management. Too often we look for the “new” method when most projects fail due to failure to meet customer requirements. It starts with definition, every requirement and then agreement to roles responsibilities, time lines and communication. Iterative product development is over 100 years old, and although we like renaming it Agile, or Streaming, it is simply one way to approach the problem.
