Being part of the Project Management Team, my contribution towards my organisation has evolved from a Departmental perspective to an Organisational perspective. Project Management requires a disciplined approach to defining, strategizing, communicating and controlling a project. One has to implement the most effective methods of delivering products within cost schedule and resource constraints. Today I am able to identify and manage the product scope, build a work breakdown structure, create a project plan, create the project budget, define and allocate resources, manage the project development, identify and manage risks and understand the project process. As a Project Leader one must be conscious of the "Project Team Development Cycle" for every project and throughout the project life cycle. Thus, planning is about optimizing the effectiveness of the project and its results, i.e. "doing the right things".To be successful in my field of expertise I have to be a "social architect" who understands the interaction of organizational and behavioral variables, can foster a climate of active participation and can minimize dysfunctional conflict. To be effective, I must identify major issues associated with three dimensions. These are team related with emphasis on behavioral aspects such as team structure, trust and respect, or barriers to team development and so on; project task and resource related such as goals and objectives, planning and scope management; and organizational. To conclude I have to oversee the organizational development by involving senior management to ensure visibility, resource availability and overall support for the project throughout its life cycle. These conditions are accomplished through effective intercommunication which is pivotal in the project management process.
