10 Values to Underpin Successful Projects


All project team members need some values to guide their behaviour.  Here are some values that I have found useful on my projects.
  • Honesty, integrity and consistency in all things.
  • Open and transparent communication.
  • Team cohesiveness. Come together, stay together and support each other.
  • Do not impose your own agenda on a project.  Project managers need to stay away from 'agendas'.  Your project will have enough agendas belonging to stakeholders without you introducing your own personal agenda.
  • Celebrate success. Learn from both success and failure.
  • No blame (where people are open and honest about what has happened).
  • Humility.
  • Mutual respect for people, their abilities and their points of view.
  • Listen first, take appropriate time to consider, act decisively, and communicate promptly.
  • Green wherever possible. Do not waste resources of any kind.
Be sure to let me know your ideas for project values.
