1. A
Project
Management
Guide
How to get on and do a
project from start to
finish
SEBASTIAN LIVARACCI

2. For every project or task there may be
a myriad of actionable and what not.
The premise remains the same. You
begin from nothing and end up with
something. You begin with complexity
and refine it to simplicity.

3. STEPS
Collect all the relevant
information
• Assign responsibilities
Specify the desired
outcomes and expectations
• Setup a deadline
Create the follow through
plan
• Gather the resources
Identify obstacles and
challenges

4. 01
Collect all
the
relevant
information

5.  Start a quick gathering of
the pertinent information to
the project
Do not linger too much on
this stage otherwise you will
suffer from analysis-
paralysis
Arrange on a folder or keep
on a physical tray or
somewhere you can
associate with the project

6. 02
Assign
Responsibilities

7.  Assemble your team if there is a
team involved
Assign responsibilities according
to qualifications and abilities
Avoid creating many
dependencies(a person in
control of a key step in a process
that are relied upon by the next
person in line)
If going solo, assign yourself
tasks

8. 03
Specify the
desired
outcomes and
expectations

9.  What are the so called KPIs
(Key Performance Indicators)?
What would tell you that you or
you and your team have made
progress?
What do you hope to
accomplish?

10. 04
Set up a
deadline

11. Set up a hard deadline with date
and time
Avoid being too overly optimistic
or being too casual with the
deadline
When you finish before the
deadline allow yourself a
celebration
Remember Parkinson’s law:
work expands so as to fill the
time available for its completion

12. 05
Create the follow
through plan

13.  Idiot proof it as much as
possible through being very
specific on the tasks and stages
and milestones
Let is be easy to understand
upon reading
Distribute to team members

14. 06
Gather the
resources

15.  The resources can be:
Physical-stationery, books,
documents
Intangible-consultants,
experts,
Digital
Make them as accessible as
possible

16. 07
Identify
obstacles
or
potential
challenges

17.  Determine the limitations to
accomplishing the project
Identify the things that would
make it impossible to finish the
project with the given deadline
Set out to eliminate or bypass
them

18. You're on your way
to success if you learn
how to embrace these
steps in any project you
undertake in.
