Here are 10 project management quick tips that I use on my projects.

#1 - At the end or beginning of each week take a look at the tasks for the next two weeks and verify their start, duration, and dependencies

#2 - Confirm with each owner with tasks due in next two weeks that they are on track and what they need from you and others to stay on track

#3 - Review risk list every week to determine if a risk is likely to be triggered. This way you can prep the mitigation steps just in case.

#4 - Regularly check status of other projects that can impact your resources or tasks so that you can invoke contigency plans if needed.

#5 - Read the last 2 weeks status reports to remind yourself of old issues or actions that have not been addressed.

#6 - Conduct a weekly checkpoint call or meeting with vendors to make sure they are on track and what they need from your team.

#7 - Use punch lists to list tasks needed to be completed when milestones are coming due. This helps you not miss anything.

#8 - Have regular reviews with stakeholders and sponsor. Use the time to resolve issues and show them progress to date.

#9 - Use flow charts or process diagrams to describe functionality on key functions. Pictures are your best friend!

#10 - At the end of the week jot down the three key things accomplished and the top issue of the week. These help you plan for next week.
