Rajesh Shakya: There are numerous ways to fail as a project manager. Many Project Managers just live with their job as project manager and don’t actually manage the projects. Many Project Managers simply don’t get time to get updated with latest technology tools and best practices. Let’s take a look at some of the ways in particular that project managers can succeed.

Use project management tools effectively- Just to name a few for enterprise project management to personal project management- Microsoft Project, QualBridge Enterprise.

Manage your time well- Speaking of time, first of all you personally should be organized and achieve the desired outcome on time and on budget, then your project team will follow you.

Conduct meetings effectively- Meetings are necessary in completing projects - project planning meeting, stakeholder meetings, project team meeting, weekly briefing, daily scrum and so on.

Maintain a sense of humor- Activities in a project may go wrong. But you have to maintain a sense of humor so that you don’t do damage to your health, to your team, to your organization, and to the project itself.

Give and receive criticism- Learning the emotions of each of the team members is very important. Similarly, the ability to receive criticism is crucial for project managers.

Improve decision-making skills- You should be quick to give decisions and the decisions should be right, because your team members look to you for some approvals, choices from many options and prioritize activities.

Be adaptive- Accept any good suggestions if adaptable with project time, budget and resources.

Trust yourself- Trusting yourself and also team members is a vital component to effective project management.
