  49. <p>I&#8217;ve seen this again and again as I have worked on many projects- large and small over the past 20 years. Companies are spending millions.&nbsp;But project teams never commit!</p>
  50.  
  51.  
  52.  
  53. <p>I tend to exaggerate, (just ask my wife), but in this case I&#8217;m serious. It is next to impossible to get commitment even though these are the very tools they are asking their company to adopt. Oh, they&#8217;ll always set up a Microsoft Team and agree to use it. But that commitment fades away and *without exception* everyone reverts back to email. They forget the true principals of project management success.</p>

  58.

  65. <p>Managing a project can be daunting. Whether planning your wedding, developing a new website or building your dream house by the sea, you need to employ project management techniques to help you succeed. I&#8217;ll summarize the top seven best practices at the heart of good project management which can help you to achieve project success.</p>
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Define the Scope and Objectives</h3>
  70.  
  71.  
  72.  
  73. <p>Firstly, understand the project objectives. Suppose your boss asks you to organize a blood donor campaign, is the objective to get as much blood donated as possible? Or, is it to raise the local company profile? Deciding the real objectives will help you plan the project.</p>
  74.  
  75.  
  76.  
  77. <p>Scope defines the boundary of the project. Is the organization of transport to take staff to the blood bank within scope? Or, should staff make their own way there? Deciding what&#8217;s in or out of scope will determine the amount of work which needs performing.</p>
  78.  
  79.  
  80.  
  81. <p>Understand who the stakeholders are, what they expect to be delivered and enlist their support. Once you&#8217;ve defined the scope and objectives, get the stakeholders to review and agree to them.</p>
  82.  
  83.  
  84.  
  85. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Define the Deliverables</h3>
  86.  
  87.  
  88.  
  89. <p>You must define what will be delivered by the project. If your project is an advertising campaign for a new chocolate bar, then one deliverable might be the artwork for an advertisement. So, decide what tangible things will be delivered and document them in enough detail to enable someone else to produce them correctly and effectively.</p>
  90.  
  91.  
  92.  
  93. <p>Key stakeholders must review the definition of deliverables and must agree they accurately reflect what must be delivered.</p>
  94.  
  95.  
  96.  
  97. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Project Planning</h3>
  98.  
  99.  
  100.  
  101. <p>Planning requires that the project manager decides which people, resources and budget are required to complete the project.</p>
  102.  
  103.  
  104.  
  105. <p>You must define what activities are required to produce the deliverables using techniques such as Work Breakdown Structures. You must estimate the time and effort required for each activity, dependencies between activities and decide a realistic schedule to complete them. Involve the project team in estimating how long activities will take. Set milestones which indicate critical dates during the project. Write this into the project plan. Get the key stakeholders to review and agree to the plan.</p>
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">4. Communication</h3>
  110.  
  111.  
  112.  
  113. <p>Project plans are useless unless they&#8217;ve been communicated effectively to the project team. Every team member needs to know their responsibilities. I once worked on a project where the project manager sat in his office surrounded by huge paper schedules. The problem was, nobody on his team knew what the tasks and milestones were because he hadn&#8217;t shared the plan with them. The project hit all kinds of problems with people doing activities which they deemed important rather than doing the activities assigned by the project manager.</p>
  114.  
  115.  
  116.  
  117. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">5. Tracking and Reporting Project Progress</h3>
  118.  
  119.  
  120.  
  121. <p>Once your project is underway you must monitor and compare the actual progress with the planned progress. You will need progress reports from project team members. You should record variations between the actual and planned cost, schedule and scope. You should report variations to your manager and key stakeholders and take corrective actions if variations get too large.</p>
  122.  
  123.  
  124.  
  125. <p>You can adjust the plan in many ways to get the project back on track but you will always end up juggling cost, scope and schedule. If the project manager changes one of these, then one or both of the other elements will inevitably need changing. It is juggling these three elements &#8211; known as the project triangle &#8211; that typically causes a project manager the most headaches!</p>
  126.  
  127.  
  128.  
  129. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">6. Change Management</h3>
  130.  
  131.  
  132.  
  133. <p>Stakeholders often change their mind about what must be delivered. Sometimes the business environment changes after the project starts, so assumptions made at the beginning of the project may no longer be valid. This often means the scope or deliverables of the project need changing. If a project manager accepted all changes into the project, the project would inevitably go over budget, be late and might never be completed.</p>
  134.  
  135.  
  136.  
  137. <p>By managing changes, the project manager can make decisions about whether or not to incorporate the changes immediately or in the future, or to reject them. This increases the chances of project success because the project manager controls how the changes are incorporated, can allocate resources accordingly and can plan when and how the changes are made. Not managing changes effectively is often a reason why projects fail.</p>
  138.  
  139.  
  140.  
  141. <h3 class="wp-block-heading">7. Risk Management</h3>
  142.  
  143.  
  144.  
  145. <p>Risks are events which can adversely affect the successful outcome of the project. I&#8217;ve worked on projects where risks have included: staff lacking the technical skills to perform the work, hardware not being delivered on time, the control room at risk of flooding and many others. Risks will vary for each project but the main risks to a project must be identified as soon as possible. Plans must be made to avoid the risk, or, if the risk cannot be avoided, to mitigate the risk to lessen its impact if it occurs. This is known as risk management.</p>
  146.  
  147.  
  148.  
  149. <p>You don&#8217;t manage all risks because there could be too many and not all risks have the same impact. So, identify all risks, estimate the likelihood of each risk occurring (1 = not likely, 2 = maybe likely, 3 = very likely). Estimate its impact on the project (1 &#8211; low, 2 &#8211; medium, 3 &#8211; high), then multiply the two numbers together to give the risk factor. High risk factors indicate the severest risks. Manage the ten with the highest risk factors. Constantly review risks and lookout for new ones since they have a habit of occurring at any moment. Not managing risks effectively is a common reason why projects fail.</p>

Not our problem.</p>

We do not have the time to learn something new while also implementing it and dealing with the day-to-day headaches of running a project.&#8221;</p>

  363. <p>The goal of expanding the SPMM to the Microsoft 365 level is to help practitioners in the community think through how they can improve their capabilities or decide which capabilities matter most to them. These decisions should be based not just on the technology capabilities themselves but driven by specific outcome objectives derived from the organizational strategy, possibly at a reasonably granular level as well as at the over-arching organization level.</p>
  364.  
  365.  
  366.  
  367. <p>Our goal is to apply the same core competencies that were the core of the original SharePoint Maturity Model, updated and extended to reflect the current business and technical environment. As Microsoft 365 is a much deeper and wider toolkit, the project is creating a guidance document for each competency, in a consistent format. Although these are clearly linked to Microsoft 365, we have deliberately avoided detailing particular features and functions, focusing on the business needs and processes in the competency documents. We will continue to expand the document set to drill into the technologies; provide a ‘how to’ for achieving different levels with the tools Microsoft 365 provides; and highlight some practical scenarios.</p>

It’s coming around so fast and one of the jobs I did during the week was spin up a list in the Team so that speakers could easily access their session. It had their track, it had their time and their moderator. It felt nice putting it in as a tab. It looked good and felt good. But one of the things I was thinking about now I have started to use Lists in anger is how can get I a report on who I have shared a list with. I wrote about how to share Lists and List Items in both the web experience and Teams but now imagine the scenario that I have a few dozen lists and that I collaborate on these inside and outside the organisation. How could I tell who I shared those with? Especially after a month or two where albeit best intentions, I doubt I am keeping track. It’s really important to review this from time to time both in terms of administration and security. Yet one of the things we must understand is this difference between personal lists and teams lists because lists are stored in different places – and yes, yes I know its ultimately all SharePoint, but this determines how we find our sharing reports</p><cite><a href="http://microsoft365pro.co.uk/2020/09/19/microsoft-lists-reporting-on-shared-lists-and-list-items-created-through-teams-and-the-lists-web-app/">Microsoft Lists: Reporting on shared Lists and List Items created through Teams and the Lists Web App — @Microsoft365Pro</a></cite></blockquote>
