Managing software projects is difficult under the best of circumstances. Unfortunately, many new project managers receive virtually no training for the job. Sometimes you have to rely on survival tips from people who have already done their tour of duty in the project management trenches. Here are 21 such tips for success, which I’ve learned from both well-managed and challenged projects. They include 4 suggestions for laying the foundation for project success, 6 for planning the work, 7 for estimating the project, 3 for tracking your progress, and 1 tip for learning for the future. Keep these tips in mind as guidelines for success on your next project, recognizing that they aren’t silver bullets for your project management problems.
