The primary goal of a project manager and the project team, is to finish the project as specified, on schedule and within budget.

Keys of Project Management

1.    Plan, Organize, and Control - This applies to virtually every activity on the project - starting with the kick off meeting and extending to all engineering, procurement and construction activities.

2.    KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid - Over detailed plan, budgets, schedules, and control systems do not automatically equate to more successful projects.

Plan
