Project Management in a Struggling Economy

As a Project Manager, no doubt you are worried about the success of your projects. There are a lot of factors that go into making a project successful, including resources, time, money, and scope.

Securing the proper talent for your projects is of the upmost importance. With the struggling economy there seems to be an abundance of candidates looking for positions. The problem here is that some candidates are over promising and underperforming in order to secure a position. This can be detrimental to any project if there are unqualified resources.

Money is an ever increasing problem in today’s economy. Many companies are only able to find talented, qualified resources through integrators, and are being charged top dollar for them. But what happens if the budget does not allow this amount of spend? Again, we circle back to candidates overselling and under promising. It is becoming more apparent that the cost of having to go back and re-do some work, which was not completed properly or to replace a failed component, is something that should be avoided.

So what can a project manager do in order to find qualified resources at a reasonable price? WiseChoice IT may be your solution.
