Orderly and Systematic management
principles
•
1. Better Efficiency in Delivering Services: Project management provides a “roadmap” that is
easily followed and leads to project completion. Once you know where to avoid the bumps
and potholes, it stands to reason that you’re going to be working smarter and not harder and
longer.
•
2. Improved / Increased / Enhanced Customer Satisfaction: Whenever you get a project done
on time and under budget, the client walks away happy. And a happy client is one you’ll see
again. Smart project management provides the tools that enable this client/manager
relationship to continue.
•
3. Enhanced Effectiveness in Delivering Services: The same strategies that allowed you to
successfully complete one project will serve you many times over.
•
4. Improved Growth and Development Within your Team: Positive results not only command
respect but more often than not inspire your team to continue to look for ways to perform
more efficiently.
•
5. Greater Standing and Competitive Edge: This is not only a good benefit of project
management within the workplace but outside of it as well; word travels fast and there is
nothing like superior performance to secure your place in the marketplace.

5 time management techniques used
by successful executives
•
Eliminate the Unnecessary
– Eliminating the “unnecessary” in life goes a long way in making you more productive
•
Plan Your Work
–
•
Set aside ten to fifteen minutes before work and either write down or mentally plan what you
want to accomplish
Multitasking
– Reduces work but if you can’t do it, don’t try. It’ll lead to sloppy and poor work.
•
Know when to Multitask
– Try to accomplish as many of them as I can at once and as fast as I can. But when my boss
gives me a special project that he needs done in a timely fashion and of the highest quality,
the time that I devote to that is usually uninterrupted and I usually concentrate on nothing
else other than that project
•
Reduce interruptions
– you can’t reduce the number of things that are going to interrupt you, but you can alter the
fashion in which you deal with them
