FastCompany writes about lessons learnt by Microsoft Project’s GM, stating: “We live in a project world, where project managers and project teams work together to deliver results on time, on budget, on spec, and on the money…Project’s general manager, Chris Capossela, says that he uses his own project’s thorniest problems, and their solutions, to run better projects everywhere…In fact, in the course of upgrading Project, the project team came across a number of important lessons and improvements that can make any project more likely to succeed.”
Key Learnings:
– Expect the unexpected
– Measure work done, not hours spent working
– Don’t crack the whip; share the work
– If you want the right people, you have to know what you’re looking for
