As a project manager it can be hard to get started sometimes, particularly if your new to the job or still unsure about how you’re going to structure a particular project or it’s deliverables. So what can you do to get those creative juices flowing and begin to write out the best project management controls / deliverables you’ve ever seen?
One of my favourite techniques is to lay out what I think might be the basic structure and then just start writing. The more I write the more ideas I have as I go along. As more ideas come to me I can revisit the structure and refine as I go.
What this generally means is that in the time it would have taken for me to um and ah and accomplish nothing I’ve actually produced a good framework of a document. Is it finished… No, but it’s a good start with a lot of my knowledge already typed up and easy to cut and paste around the page into whatever structure fits best!
I also find this helps weed out bad ideas, that might otherwise get through as once something is written down it becomes a little easier to argue with it and see if it is a good idea after all.
