Thanks for this post. I think the scope management is the most important, not to say the others are unimportant, but understanding what needs to be done in the amount of time given is the best way to complete an efficient project. There’s nothing worse than having a project with a deadline, getting distracted and working on something out of the scope and as the deadline approaches, little progress is being made because the team is not totally aware of what needs to be done. As long as everyone knows what he or she is supposed to be doing, and provided the person is not lazy, the work will get done.
