World is changing fast with the birth of new technology everyday. To live on the fast changing world we need new projects that can work with the newly created situation. The question here is that how can we make the projects successful? Verzuh mentioned that there are five essential factors to the success of a project.
-Agreement among the project team, customer, and management on the goals of the project.
-A plan that shows an overall path and clear responsibilities and will be used to measure progress during the project.
-Constant, effective communication among everyone involved in the project.
-A controlled scope.
-Management support
I think having all the five essential factors will definitely lead to the success of a project. At Defense Language Institute the work is performed as a team. The school provides clear goal and each team leader plans the action. However, many team leaders have communication problem and it caused disagreement between team members and fail to success the goal. So, I think having all the five essential factors are the key to success.
How does it apply to my project? My capstone project will be developed by myself alone but I have an advisor, so still I will need an effective communication skill for the success of a project. The basic thing is to have a clear goal and plan to get approval from my advisor and then communicate with him to make successful project. Also, management support is important in case I need more time to work overtime.
