The modern organization runs a lot of projects. It could be said that running projects is a part of most organizations' core business and running projects well is a core competency.

With this in mind it is becoming more and more apparent that organizations need to address Project Management in two areas:

* Project Management Best Practices
* Project Management Behaviours and Competencies

PROJECT MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES

It is safe to say that this includes the minimum standards any organization needs to put in place to ensure a STANDARDIZED approach to managing projects. This is where the TPT Project Method enters the arena and sets out to develop the minimum requirements for project best practices.

The TPT Project Method is a set of Procedures, Deliverables and Approaches designed to enable Project Managers and those acting in Project Management Capacities to successfully initiate, plan, run and complete projects.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOURS AND COMPETENCIES

Anyone involved in Project Management has to develop behaviours and competencies that will enable them to become superior Project Managers.

These include:

• Negotiation
• Motivation
• Leadership
• Co-ordination
• Empathy

These skills cannot be taught text book style. But if an organization has standardized the PM Best Practices the Project Manager will be in a position to focus more on the "softer skills" required to become a superior Project Manager.
