A project manager needs to communicate lucidly and frequently with team members. Lack of communication will lead to confusion and a lack of clarity on operational issues.

Project management tools possess the power to assist and streamline control over the execution of the project, in addition to disseminating information.

#7 Miscalculation Of Budget

A wrong budget projection can seriously derail a project. It is necessary to get the projections right, while maintaining contingency to meet additional expenses due to change in scope.

Timelines are crucial aspects and project managers who get the timelines wrong will throw the schedules haywire. Care needs to be taken to get the timelines as close as possible.

Without the efforts of a team, projects will make no headway. It is necessary to have a cohesive unit in place and to manage the resources effectively for results.
