It is D: Avoid Third - Party Influnce

At the Execution stage, I think that it is critical to focus on managing people and resources on a daily basis to ensure tasks are performed according to specifications.

This is where the PM must ensure that resources are onsite and people perform tasks. The management role and ability of the PM is now fully focused on getting things done. This is where the PM has to keep an eye on the critical path, to ensure delivery on time.

The overall goal of the Executing Process is to set the teams in place to get the work done efficiently and effectively so that the project stays on target with regard to the scope and previously agreed upon goals. Teams are set in place to complete work according to stakeholder specifications. At this stage in the work cycle, any areas of risk or concern are mitigated and change requests are addressed.

Across industry, the Executing Process entails the following core tasks:

Direct and Manage Project Execution

Because the majority of the budget for a project will be spent attending to the details of the execution processes, it is important that project managers have a clear set of goals and a realistic timeline from the very beginning. Before the project gets into full swing it is important to check the scheduling and phasing details to be sure that related tasks, such as obtaining permits, can be obtained from time.

Perform Quality Assurance

Conducting routine quality assurance checks helps a project manager make necessary adjustments when needed. In addition, the quality assurance process also provides data to share with stakeholders to ensure them the project is moving along on time and within budget.

Acquire Project Team

Setting up the best teams possible and taking the time to clearly communicate expectations and timelines is an important part of building project success. Team leaders should understand how their part of the project fits into the larger benchmark goals.

Develop Project Team

Supporting teams with the tools and knowledge needed to do the job most effectively will contribute to enhanced performance. Building team cohesion and supplying additional training when necessary can also help bolster project success.

Manage Project Team

Being in tune with teams as they complete their work creates productive synergy between divisions within a project. Team leaders who listen to employee concerns and respond appropriately can directly impact the success of the entire project. Making mid-course adjustments when necessary and mitigating challenges along the way can result in a strong end product.

Distribute Information

Routine communication is a detail many less-seasoned project managers can easily overlook. Knowing when to pick up the phone in person to discuss a timeline setback, or when to send an upcoming schedule change by email to another team leader is part of the professional finesse learned over time. Creating efficient flow of communication from the routine to the red flag issues is essential for creating a positive workflow experience for all constituents.

Manage Stakeholder Expectations

Seasoned project managers understand that managing stakeholder communication is just as important as communicating with teams. Regular communication detailing benchmark goals and responding quickly to any emergent stakeholder concern goes a long way for a more smooth work flow situation.

Conduct Procurements

Along the way, decisions regarding resource allocation and distribution are necessary for almost every project. Creating the reports and documents necessary to respond to procurement processes helps to ensure the best budgetary decisions throughout the project timeline.

While many professionals new to larger and more complex projects may feel overwhelmed by the many overlapping details and recurring processes, over time a rhythm emerges once a more detailed understanding of the general process patterns is mastered. Through professional mentoring and additional career development in best practice project management processes, project managers who desire the opportunity to experience the thrill of handling much larger projects can grow into those roles. With increasing knowledge and skills come additional professional opportunities.

Project Execution Phase

The Project Execution Phase is the third phase in the project life cycle. In this phase, you will build the physical project deliverables and present them to your customer for signoff. The Project Execution Phase is usually the longest phase in the project life cycle and it typically consumes the most energy and the most resources.

To enable you to monitor and control the project during this phase, you will need to implement a range of management processes. These processes help you to manage time, cost, quality, change, risks and issues. They also help you to manage procurement, customer acceptance and communications.
