Nine Principles for Project Management

by Henriette Lundgren

If you aren't a project manager, but find yourself managing projects anyway, a few professional principles can make the difference between success and failure.

Franklin/Covey authors Kory Kogon, Suzette Blakemore, and James Wood share nine crucial project management lessons in their 2015 project management manual designed for those who aren’t official project managers, but end up managing a project nonetheless.

Success requires people and a process 

First, they point out that seasoned managers know the success of their projects depends on their people. They urge leaders to internalize a two-part formula for project management success: “People plus process equals success.” Whether they are conducting stakeholder interviews at the start of a project or holding people accountable once the work is in motion, successful project managers show their appreciation by treating people well.
