Project Management Best Practices—Now With Alliteration!

Frequent follow-up applies to everyone involved in your projects—clients, team members, contractors, etc. It makes sense to follow-up when you’re waiting on deliverables or are under a tight deadline, but you should also follow-up even if things are in a slower part of your project’s process. If you ever have the thought, “I haven’t spoken with so-and-so in awhile,” chances are so-and-so has had that thought too. I recommend regularly scheduled communication with everyone involved in your projects—again: clients, team, contractors, etc. Depending on the size and scope of your project, client communication should be either weekly or bi-weekly. Team communication should be at least weekly, but never fear scheduling internal meetings whenever truly necessary. The frequency of contractor follow-up is heavily reliant upon how in-depth they may be involved in a specific project. For the most part, though, they should be considered part of the team and followed up with as such. I hope these project management best practices recommendations have left you feeling entirely enlightened (or at least like we’re on the same page!).
