Project Management Success – Communicate, Communicate, Communicate

Written in Collaboration with Andrea Lacroix

In real estate, there are three important considerations location, location and location! Project management also has three important considerations they are: communication, communication, and communication! 

Before we go further in our discussion of project management, let’s discuss communication. Communication with team members, vendors, and clients throughout the project is vital. Okay, you knew that – right!? 

The frequency and type of communication will change throughout the course of the project, but establishing consistent meeting times and consistent communication patterns will ensure that the client and team members are aware of the latest progress and issues as they occur.

Documentation is also critical.  So much happens on a project before it goes into the field changes are bound to happen and equally true the reasons and approvals can be forgotten – don’t let that happen. Create a clear and friendly paper trail.  You should, as a best practice, always follow-up meetings and phone conversations with an email.  Summarizing the conversations that took place as well as noting decisions, next steps, and approvals will all help to keep the project on track.
