Managing Risk and Shortcuts for Project Managers

Project managers often face stress and pressure to meet deadlines, which can lead to taking risky shortcuts. However, these shortcuts can have far-reaching consequences that affect the project’s future. Effective project managers anticipate risks and make decisions based on what’s best for the project. They engage the whole team in the decision-making process, identify risks, and communicate with superiors and team members. They follow their gut instinct but consider all opinions and take responsibility for the decision. By managing risky shortcuts, project managers can ensure the success of their projects.
