I recently listed to a few webinars online that was about
managing projects. Based on the title, I
had expected something very different from the actual content that was
given. The content of the webinar
focused on managing time, getting organized, and managing your overall effectiveness. While the webinar did refer to Pert and Gnatt
charts – they used them as a way of seeing your own personal schedule and
obligations, not necessarily as a project tool.
I thought that it was an interesting point of view.
I started viewing shows as projects prior to going to grad
school and prior to obtaining any professional training in project
management. Projects include many
different things – many things that we all do regularly – even planning a
vacation could be defined as a project. I
think that when a show is defined as a project it is subtly handled differently
than when it isn’t. Seeing project
management tools applied to time management reminds me of how versatile PM tools
really are.
