Agreeing on the project goals is crucial to get the project up and running. If the whole team is not on board, you can’t continue with the project without it failing or just not producing good quality results. Effective communication is needed to make sure everyone is on the same page on working towards on goal in completing the project efficiently. Developing clearly defined plans with assigned responsibilities should be set early on in the project initiation phase to maximize the whole team’s potential for the given project. Managing project scope effectively is the PM’s responsibility and they should further provide support to the team throughout the progression of the project.
