I’ve just completed revision of executing process group. Most of the questions I’ve answered correctly from RITA process book. Now I’m left with Monitoring and Controlling process group which is critical to project management. Important points in executing process group are
- How do you deal with approved change requests?
- Apply different conflict resolution techniques?
- How do you improve process?
- How do you evaluate proposals and award the contract to specific sellers? Remember you always need to think in buyer aspect unless it is stated clearly. You should visualize the project size as very big.
- Will you encounter any risks?
- Will you make any changes to the project management plan in executing process group? This is important to understand when you make changes to the project management plan. In planning, executing or throughout the project life cycle.
- How to use configuration management systems and work authorization systems?
- What is the important trait of the project manager? Which type of communication skill is important? Is it verbal, non-verbal, formal or in-formal? Think about it. Different people have different perception on understanding of this skill. Some people believe playing on top of others is important in project communication? Some people believe pushing back is the important communication skill? Some people completely rely-on informal communication!!! Think in all aspects; apply different skills for different situations. But formal communication is important in procurement management process.
- Negotiation is key skill in “conduct procurement” process. You need to use this skill depends on the contract you choose. You always need to maintain sincere and honest negotiation skill to obtain good seller. If seller is honest and sincere about his quote, you should not try to use negotiation skill to obtain lower price; its key point to protect your relationship with seller. Otherwise you may loose potential sellers on the project.
