Delivering sustainable projects.

Recently, I was invited by the LinkedIn team to add my voice on matters project management.

Katie C. -The head of LinkedIn Editorial sent me a private invitation. I was curious to learn more about her -not the contribution I had been invited to make.

After a single click to her profile, I immediately realised the magnitude my contribution would make in the collaborative article. To my surprise, the article content had been done by AI.

Does ChatGpt ring a bell?

The title of the collaborative article read: How can a program manager effectively manage cross-project dependencies?

Are you a programs manager? Do you encounter project dependencies?

This is for you.

The article opened up the discussion by elaborationg the roles of a project manager.

Programs managers are tasked with overseeing multiple projects that contribute to a larger strategic goal. Handling multiple projects calls for concerted efforts to harmonize resources, and collaborate to avoid waste.

The lean management technique encourages for sustainable projects through proper project management systems that reduces waste and increase efficiency.

Be as it may, multiple projects will share resources , assumptions, risks and deliverables.

??These cross-dependencies affect the quality, success , and perfomance of your program.

?Construction project dependencies are project resources that rely on one another during and post-construction period.

To effectively manage the construction project dependencies, construction project managers are advised to assimilate these guidelines:

??Monitor and control dependencies.

??Optimise and improve dependencies.

??Align and integrate dependencies.

?As discussed, these are the crucial steps towards managing project dependencies to deliver balanced projects.

To add to the list provided, I singled out some valuable insights from one of the contributions made by Raghavendrum. I promised not to leave their valuable remarks in this write up, after applying them successfully in my projects; witnessing substantive changes in the process and results.

Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, I present these valuable piece of information to you in light that it will impact your project in a way that you'll visit and leave a comment highlighting your experience.

Raghavendrum insists that you consider the following to effectively manage your project dependencies:

1) Make a list of all the teams involved in the project.

2) Request each team on deliverables they own.

3) Then each team should come with for each deliverables what they are dependent on other teams.

4) Using step 3, do task mapping with dependency logic.

5) Create Milestone and embed step 4 to overall program plan.

Project dependencies are a means to streamline project deliverables, risks, assumptions and perfomance. Detailed integration of the project dependencies and variables will impact greatly on the performamce, results and impacts of the project/program.
