Success Factor Project Management: Managing ComplexityComplexity Correctly

Project management is an important part of many disciplines, even outside the discipline of corporate management. In the context of change management, the naming of tasks, responsibilities, deadlines, and resources provides above all the necessary orientation. Because of the strategic importance of corporate change, the most capable people should always be appointed to projects, not those who are currently available. In addition to professional project planning, the integration of project team members is also of crucial importance. In order to receive sufficient support both internally and externally, the importance of the project and the successes achieved should be marketed aggressively. When it comes to successes, care must be taken to select those measures from the multitude of possible sub-projects that lead to so-called quick wins, that is, rapid implementation successes. The management of the diverse activities in the context of a large-scale corporate change must be entrusted to a professional project structure organization with a steering committee and, if necessary, a project management office. So-called agile project management methods are particularly suitable for the flexible and participative implementation of the visions underlying the change.
