Yes...for my properties and property management. I wish I had done better and learned more from my Ag Systems Management class at TAMU. Working fulltime, 7 As and 1 D made me feel better about sucking at that class that semester. Id have less lag time...but I do pretty good for learning trial by fire.

Wow, this lit up.
Had a question about project charters, specifically as it relates to IT PMs.
I've never seen one.
I'm currently taking some online training for project management, and was just curious how often do you follow the processes being laid out.

Document document document... I’ve yet to have a project follow a charter or statement of work, it seems you always encounter unknowns. Change orders to cover for that for change of timeline and costs.Originally posted by hopedale View Post
This is my downfall. I hate documenting stuff, just want to get it done, but it bites me in the butt.Comment

We are a small outfit in New Waverly, north of Houston. We have grown by leaps and bounds over the last year. As much as we need good pipe fitters and welders, we outsource that part of the business to a company out of California. PM me your email address (for resume) and I'd be more than happy to pass it on, but i can't promise anything as i do not have a relationship with the Welding contractor at all.Originally posted by BigThicketBoy View PostComment

Personally Ive zero IT PM experience. My charters for me are the end goal...I make my own processes to accomplish that goal.Originally posted by hopedale View Post
Id imagine for IT PM much of the process is the goal...which various processes maybe different for different clients even though the end goal is the very similar. Id think in your line of PM you need to be able to follow textbook/project charters processes to a T but be able to forsee and resolve process roadblocks before/as they occur...without being excessively deviant. I reckon its a moving target from job to job...some clear ...some murky.
I may be way off. Good luck with the training.
God bless!Comment

I'm a project manager for a paving trade subcontractor in the Houston area, which is no help at all to the OP.
But, as it seems that every other swinging **** is a PM for a commercial GC, I thought I would throw that out there.Comment

I am an IT PM...what exactly are you looking for? A template can be a starting point but can also be adjusted to meet your/company needs.
Things I would ALWAYS include are Scope, Risks, Constraints, Assumptions, Timeline (although this should be grey if using Agile), Process for addressing scope changes, Budget, Key team members and their role as well as who is Accountable for sign offs (Sponsors/Executive etc).Comment

I have my PMP certification and rarely do i need to use the tools provided by the Project Management Institute in everyday work. We do use charters but for Oil & gas work.Comment
