Sometimes it\u2019s to help the company improve their bottom line, and in other cases, it\u2019s about meeting a specific change in policy or legislation. A good example of a project motivated by necessity would be the <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/modernciso.com\/2018\/05\/25\/6-key-lessons-we-learned-from-our-own-gdpr-implementation-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent GDPR projects<\/a>, which sent international companies scrambling to be compliant with new EU data and privacy laws.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the reason organizations build projects, the motivation is almost always the same &#8211; survival. Companies must change to survive; thus, they create projects to put this change in motion. It\u2019s the project manager\u2019s job to see these changes through while ensuring that the company\u2019s campaigns stay on their intended path.<\/p>\n<p>Ushering in positive change is an important part of the project manager\u2019s responsibilities. Project managers can achieve this through extensive research and planning, which they use to inform their decisions as they submit change requests.<\/p>\n<p>A change request is a documentation highlighting important changes the company should make to guarantee their future success. Before proposing change requests, the project manager must ask themselves the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does this change help the organization meet their business objectives?<\/li>\n<li>Can I defend my reasons for proposing a change request?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, say you want to propose a change request that will postpone the completion of your project by two months. As you can imagine, the stakeholders aren\u2019t going to be too thrilled about pushing back deadlines without a good reason. However, if you can demonstrate that the project will perform better as a result, there\u2019s a greater likelihood that your request will be approved.<\/p>\n<p>The point of this example is to illustrate how important it is for project managers to focus on the result. Ideally, companies want to avoid setbacks as much as possible. However, there are times when a company must experience a temporary setback to help them improve in the long run. And it\u2019s the project manager\u2019s job to bring attention to these issues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_an_Actionable_Solution_that_Achieves_Positive_Outcomes\"><\/span>Creating an Actionable Solution that Achieves Positive Outcomes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In project management, there\u2019s a difference between the terms \u201coutput\u201d and \u201coutcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Project outputs are the results of a project.<\/li>\n<li>Project outcomes are what the organization can achieve with the output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A common mistake that project managers often make is focusing too much on output. They often worry so much about all the technical details, like deadlines and budget requirements, that they completely overlook the outcome. However, if the outcome isn\u2019t met, then the project isn\u2019t successful.<\/p>\n<p>For example, say you have a project where your goal is to design a new type of cell phone, which will then be sold in stores and mall kiosks across the country. The cell phone itself is your output, whereas the outcome of the project is to use phone sales to maintain (or grow) your company\u2019s market share. Without this outcome, the phones produced are worthless.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Takeaway\"><\/span>The Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Projects exist to help the organization, not the other way around. This is why it\u2019s always important for project managers to focus on the outcome of their campaigns. While problem solving and managing resources are equally important, project management should be approached with one goal in mind \u2013 improving the company\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/accidental-project-manager-_ebook_cwm_en_reg.html?_ga=2.39534691.1105922994.1565883423-1049357371.1559153883&amp;_gac=1.254082554.1564418320.Cj0KCQjwsvrpBRCsARIsAKBR_0I9lYfy1GP58kG71h_G_Paf3LKI5_79pF5wwnAhGdjLSZIoKxQhgmMaAsOpEALw_wcB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Accidental-Project-Manager-750x200.jpg\" alt=\"Accidental Project Manager Real-World ProjectPlace  Use Cases eBook\" width=\"778\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Accidental-Project-Manager-750x200.jpg 778w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Accidental-Project-Manager-750x200-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Accidental-Project-Manager-750x200-768x197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Accidental-Project-Manager-750x200-750x193.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project management plays a pivotal role in helping organizations meet their business objectives.
