Project Management is a choice

The funniest (and incidentally easiest) is just starting up, mix something together and try if it works, adjust and try again. Especially if you yourself are a specialist or maybe even an expert on the current field of study, it is the way of working that people would most like to work on.
But the real world demands predictability of the completion date, budget and quality. Here you must make a choice: either trial-and-error or add an appropriate amount of project management. It's your choice!

As with craftsmen project managers can also see in advance what the challenges are and therefore what tools and methods to be applied in order to bring the ship safely into port.

The choice involves, for example that you will:

- See particularly much at stakeholders
- Make extra effort in getting the project organized
 - Analyze risks extra carefully
- Involve the client and users active in the planning
- Use extra energy to make a good team
- Ensure great realism in estimates and schedules

The more aware you become of these choices, the more proactive you also become in your thinking, and you will find that you are going ahead with the project and can begin to shape it rather than hang behind the project and grapple with all the problems.
