Random Thoughts..................by Mr.Siva Nallaiah - Director (Special Projects)

( As I write these words from Toronto, my thoughts are with all the wonderful staff at Sanken. Many of you don't

realize how fortunate you all are, to have a CEO, Chairman (& directors), who have built up a wonderful

Construction & Development Company and manage it well. But any chain is “only as strong as the weakest link”.

So, if you understand this phrase, you will know that in case your skills are not in par with your colleagues, it will be

up to you to get help to acquire those skills or be removed from that wonderful Sanken chain. Please keep that in

mind without feeling that, ”why should I care, as long as I get my monthly salary”. Since Sanken's core business is

CONSTRUCTION and construction needs good “PROJECT MANGERS”, I will share some key points about what

it takes to be a project manager, that I read in an article recently).

One question I get asked a lot is, what does it take to be a successful project manager? It's as if there's a secret recipe

for being successful in the field of project management. Some would argue that nothing but experience counts;

others favor formal training and certifications. Perhaps the best answer is to have a balance of both real-world

experience and training.

But still, what does it take to make it in the world of project management? Why do some folks fall right into the

groove where others struggle and gasp for air? Though there are a whole host of skills, knowledge areas,

methodologies, etc. to consider, I think being a successful PM comes down to your ability to do a few key things

really, really well:

·

* Communicate Effectively

* Organize and Juggle

* Solve Problems and Make Decisions

* Build Good Teams

Communicate Effectively

Communication is critical to project management and a skill any successful project manager has mastered. It's

important to note that communication doesn't mean "talking" or even "presenting." Communication is about

transferring knowledge, sharing ideas, solving problems and providing new or updated information. Yes, we

speak (and write) in order to communicate, but to master this skill we need to look deeper.

ARTICLE

RANDOM THOUGHTS....................................JUNE 2016

11

A PM should be able to communicate effectively in written form whether writing emails or producing project

documentation, plans, specifications, reports, agendas, status updates and such. Equally important is the ability to

vernalize your thoughts and get important points across clearly. Whether your audience is your project team,

executive staff, external customers, etc., you need to be able to communicate your ideas and ensure they are

understood, rather than simply heard.

The bottom line is this: If you can't get your project team to buy into your ideas, if you can't produce high quality

written documentation and get the right information to the right people at the right time, you probably aren't as

successful as you could be. Take note and work on your communication skills, it's arguably the most important skill

needed as a project manager!

Organize and Juggle

In order to be successful in project management you need to be able to keep track of multiple "things" (projects,

people, reports, requirements, specs, etc.). To do this you need to be organized, thorough, meticulous, and a pretty

good juggler.

As a PM you need to keep track of your project team, progress, numerous project documents, the flow of information

(right info, right people, right time, remember?), changes to the project (scope, schedule, features, plan, issues, etc.),

and much more. If you aren't able to multi-task in this manner, to really keep things on track in an organized manner,

you might find yourself in a state of overwhelm.

If being/staying organized is a problem area for you, try making checklists to help you remember where you are at in

a given project cycle, what's next and, more importantly, what is going on. If you as the project manager are not clear

on the state of the project or what the next steps are, how successful can you be?

Solve Problems and Make Decisions

A good project manager should be able to keep the big picture in mind, while also working on the details and

specifics. This will allow you to be better prepared when problems arise (and they will) as you'll be aware of them

sooner, and able to tackle the issues more quickly.

Is this a problem area for you? Work at really analyzing a problem, research it thoroughly, compile a list of at least

three alternative solutions and then determine the best course of action and make the decision.

At some point you have to rely on the information presented and make a choice to do A, B or C. When trying to solve

an issue remember to focus on the problem you are trying to solve and your options, and hopefully you won't get too

lost in the forest or the trees (big picture vs. small picture).
