How to Make Your Plan a Success

Hint: Get the Right People on the Team

The one secret to success in project management: good people.

Good people make all the difference. They’re responsible for about 90% of any project’s success. Unfortunately, finding the right people is a real challenge. It’s not always easy to know who has what it takes to help you succeed.

Here are some tips that can help you get started finding the right people for your project.

Tip # 1 — Make a list of everything you will need to complete the project in order of priority.

The first thing you need to do to build a team is to make a list of everything you need to complete your project. Ask yourself what skills are required for the project and what experience will be helpful.

Perhaps you need one of the following:

• A designer who has the skills to create wireframes, prototypes and mockups
• A developer who can write code in a particular language
• A content strategist who can help structure and organize information in a meaningful way
