Many of the most successful companies I have worked with can quickly identify the selections process as one of the most crucial – and chaotic – parts of any project. With input from clients, designers, contractors, and vendors, there can be a lot of communication swirling in different directions. Selecting options, gaining approvals, ordering products – although individually small tasks, they all add up to a large factor in bringing your project in on budget and on schedule.

Developing an effective method for communicating, managing, and evaluating the current state of interconnected tasks allows you to see the ripple effects before they occur and work to minimize impact incurred from schedule offsets.

Your goal for each project is to bring that project in on time and under budget. You wouldn’t want to simply outline the tasks that need to be completed within a project schedule and hope for the best. You would want to highlight points throughout the project that mark progress achieved and keep you focused on the task at hand. The use of integral management devices such as milestones allow for you to keep a close measure on the progress of your project and ensure that you are on the path to successful completion.
