Projektmanagement 2.0 [Project Management 2.0]

It's common to hear the all-purpose methodology nullifier from the client or salesperson, "But this is a small project!" The inside project manager hears this phrase when he tries to convince the project sponsor that a project plan, a materials list, and a written scope are necessary. The external IT service provider hears it from the salesperson when she tells him that the new engagement he's selling should include an additional 15% estimate for project manager duties.

Some of the most common management mistakes - 1. Not communicating with the team. - Almost always a problem. 2. Continually focusing on the negative. 3. Changing policy due to one person. - This is a BIGGIE. 4. Not understanding the needs and concerns of your team. 5. Never admitting you're wrong or never taking responsibility.
