Will the Plan Work?

Those who plan do better than those who do not plan, even though they rarely stick to their plan.
Winston Churchill

My views as a business analyst on project managers.

A good project manager moves forward with the intention the plan will work but will change as soon as it doesn’t.

A good project manager is continuously looking at potential risks and how they will affect the plan and then adjusting the plan accordingly.

A good project manager has a process for handling issues that cannot be resolved within a project.

A good project manager ensures the required resources for a project are available.

A good project manager is only noticeable when there are issues, otherwise, they are behind the scenes.

You need to go through a bad project to appreciate a good project manager. On a project where the project manager makes is a good project, the project manager is invisible.
