Creating a Project Budget that Works

06/16/2015 by Brad Egeland Tags: project budget, project costs, project customer, project manager

No question, the project budget is critical. Customer funding is based on it, project success is derived from how closely you manage to it, and without it you can’t perform any work on the engagement.

The End User is the Real Customer

The End User is the Real Customer

Who is the Real Project Customer?

Who is the Real Project Customer?

Your customer is critical. And from most project managers’ perspectives, that is the person sitting across from him at the table or the one on the other end of the phone on the status call. That’s right… that is the customer. But what about the customer’s ultimate end user? Where do they fit in? When […]

Ignorance Does Not Equal Bliss

10/24/2013 by Brad Egeland Tags: project customer, project ladder, project management, project manager

You know the saying…”Ignorance is bliss.” Really? How’s that working for you? You can claim you didn’t know and if you’re right – really telling the truth – and if you’re not in a position of importance or authority then you can possibly get away with it. But usually, if you’re at the top of […]

10 Ways to Truly Please Your Project Customer – Part 1

Want to make your project customer happy? Want to guarantee they’ll be very satisfied clients throughout the engagement? Ok, you may need to ask someone else because I certainly don’t have the answer for that. If I did I’d be a millionaire several times over by now. But I can tell you that doing the […]

Do I Cut the Green Wire or the Blue Wire?

You’ve seen the movies…the hero is facing certain death if he doesn’t figure out which wire to cut to diffuse the bomb and save himself or the girl or whoever. In the end he always cuts the right wire – I think it’s the green one. But the thing is, he’s always taking a risk […]
