Projects Collision

How to Negotiate Project Success

June 12, 2017 by Mark Donais

Negotiate Project Success

We wear so many hats as project managers over the course of our projects and our careers. I don’t want to make PMs sound like superheroes because we aren’t. We often have to be a ‘jack of all trades’ and if you lack the ability or confidence to take on multiple roles (often several at the same time) then perhaps the PM world isn’t for you. In order to negotiate project success we must be resource managers, taskmasters, salespeople, conflict resolvers, workflow managers, documentation specialists, business analysts, tech gurus on some projects (or at least talk the talk), wise and on-the-spot decision-makers.

Since you can’t be cloned…yet…how do you handle this type of situation without losing your sanity and complete control of one or both projects in question?  Do you prioritize one project over the other?  What if that isn’t possible – especially without potentially upsetting one of your important project customers?  For me, I look at three options.  Usually one will work – the third one on the list being the least desirable because of its potential effect on the customer and their confidence level.  Let’s consider these three and feel free to comment and discuss at the end.
