Great post, and it sounds like a great book. It’s so easy to get consumed by e-mail rather than managing it (the same can be said for social networks, and even media in general). These ten rules are a great way to start getting it under control. Thanks for the review.

Thanks, @Josh Nankivel –

That’s the same part that’s probably the most helpful for me, too. It gets right down to the heart of why you do business cases and charters — to get common understanding.

In my first PM training years ago, the instructor drove home one project communication point over and over. Even experienced PMs make the mistake often. The practice of “sending out for review” is not an effective communication strategy. If you really want agreement and alignment, you sit down together and review. “Silence is consent” won’t great that alignment and it won’t protect you when it all goes to hell later because everyone had differing expectations.

@eoshi, Glad you find it helpful! I don’t have any other WBS docs set for posting right now. But I think you’re spot on to explore the WBS tool for improving your projects. I highly recommend PMStudent’s package, WBS Coach. Very intuitive, accessible approach to making quick and effective use of the WBS. I wrote some more about this here: http://www.cottagepm.com/blog/archives/145. Good luck!

This is awesome, and I want to point out the part that always makes the most difference for me:

“we reviewed that together (me, the PM, and the manager who owns the application in question)”
