Part IV: Time to go! http://www.pmadvocate.com/project-life-management-how-to-implement-real-life-efficiencies-in-your-professional-world-part-iv-time-to-go/ http://www.pmadvocate.com/project-life-management-how-to-implement-real-life-efficiencies-in-your-professional-world-part-iv-time-to-go/#comments Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:59:42 +0000 Brian Maddox http://www.pmadvocate.com/?p=250 Like a field general, you issue your directions in the morning. The kids know what time to expect you after school, and as lunch time nears, you make the traditional telephone call to your spouse “touching base” about the remainder of the day and any possible changes to the kid’s activities, schedule, dinner, and a million other possible things.

As the day progresses, you check your watch or glance at your computer monitor, ticking off in your mind the activities that are taking place and needing to take place.

You pick the kids up from school and deliver them to their appropriate extra curricular activity. While they are busy, you hurry to the grocery store to pick up the necessary items for that night’s dinner.

The PMBOK© 4th Edition identifies these as processes:

4.3 – Direct and Manage Project Execution;
9.4 – Manage Project Team;
10.3 – Distribute Information;
12.2 – Conduct Procurements

Tune in again for Part V: How Was Your Day Dear?, where I compare how, at the very lowest level, our days can be divided up into a series of activities and how the performance of those activities compare to PMI’s monitoring and controlling processes.
