Progressive Elaboration - Project management

As we all know that Projects , Start as a concept and idea and over a period of time it develops into a Product or a service . This means that project develops in steps and continues by increments . Most of the time you see that requirements are not clear to you in the beginning and they become crystal clear with the passage of time . It is the characteristic of any project and the project management team has to live with it. But, how we can proceed? What is the approach to planning? This is where the concept of Progressive Elaboration comes in handy .

So , most of the times you start the project Confused and seem to get clarity with the passage of time .

Halo Effect - Project Management

I have seen a lot of times in my career and have also learned from the experiences shared by others that a Senior member of the team who is Technically very sound is being made the project Manager for an up coming project . Reasons given mostly are :
1. The person has fdeep knowledge of the project 

2. The person is very good technically.

3. The person is working in the same time for a long period now and needs to be elevated .

4. The client is very happy with his work .

This is the biggest mistakes Organizations make . Rather than judging the project managemen capabilities of the person XYZ , they elevate a person to a Project Manager basis other factors which leads to a FAILURE .

 
This is called as HALO EFFECT .

Hope next time you need to take such decision you will remember me and the HALO effect :-)
