A project manager is responsible for the entire project and keeps the team accountable, consulted, and informed. They must be flexible to handle unexpected events like delays, issues with vendors or changes to requirements. Project managers classify unexpected events into those that were anticipated but stronger than expected, could not have been predicted, or could have been but were not. They must have an organizational culture that allows flexibility to address these issues. Applying the 80/20 rule, project managers should focus on the 20% of tasks that will deliver 80% of results to be productive yet lazy. They must be both visionary and goal-oriented with commitment to the project.

6. What Successful Project Managers Do
 Traditional approaches to project management emphasize long-term
planning and a focus on stability to manage risk. But today, managers
leading complex projects often combine traditional and “agile” methods
to give them more flexibility — and better results.
 Despite meticulous planning and risk-management processes, a project
manager may encounter, on a near-daily basis, such events as the failure
of workers to show up at a site, the bankruptcy of a key vendor, a
contradiction in the guidelines provided by two engineering consultants
or changes in customers’ requirements.

7. Project Manager’s Role
 Such events can be classified according to their level of predictability as
follows: events that were anticipated but whose impacts were much
stronger than expected; events that could not have been predicted; and
events that could have been predicted but were not.
 All three types of events can become problems that need to be addressed
by the project manager.

8. FLEXIBILITY
 Coping with frequent unexpected events requires an organizational culture
that allows the project manager to exercise a great amount of flexibility

9. The Pareto Principle
 The Pareto Principle or 80/20 rule can and should be used by every smart
but lazy person in their daily life. The value of the Pareto Principle for a
project manager is that it reminds you to focus on the 20 percent that
matters.
 Those 20 percent produce 80 percent of your results.
 So, you should identify and focus on those things during your working
day.
 Do this well and you will enjoy the WORLD OF 'Productive Laziness'.
