The business environment is a rapidly changing one, and so the ability to think ahead and anticipate can make the difference between achieving project objectives or not.
You must be prepared to change your plans in a flexible and responsive way. It is unlikely that your original plan will be the one you follow all the way, since circumstances and requirements generally change as the project unfolds.
This means that you will have to re-evaluate the plan regularly and adapt it accordingly. If your project is to succeed, you must be able to anticipate and recognize the need for change, implement it, and measure its impact effectively.
It is all good and well saying this but keeping on top of project management can be hard especially if you’re trying to manage a large number of individuals. This is where bcToolkit for Basecamp can prove to be a valuable tool for project managers. Thanks to its “Time by Project” reporting tool, bcToolkit can provide users with insight into how a project is progressing and where time is being spent on it.
The progress reporting in “Time by Project” can identify which aspects/to-dos of the project are coming close to their budgeted time and allow the project manager time to re-evaluate the plan in order to accommodate any extra time required to complete the project. This could involve time from a to-do that is coming in under time being transfer over or going back to the client and sell more time.
