Many A Time Scope Is Not Defined Right Or Is Missing Key Elements That Would Be Important For Customer Success And Overall Project Success. Some Of Them Are: 1. What Does The Customer Want? 2. IsThe Customer's Vision And The End Result The Same? 3.What Does The Engineer Need To Successfully Start And Complete The Project? 4. Are Network Diagrams Provided? 5. Is The Device Inventory Shared (Depending On The Project It May Be Security Devices, Data Center Devices, And So On). 6. Is Proper Knowledge Transfer Added Into The Scope? 7. Have We Included Enough Time For Discovery And Triage? 8. Have We Included Enough Time For Documentation? 9. Have We Scheduled Enough Time For Setbacks? 10. Are We Sending Timely Updates To Key Stakeholders.

In summary, defining the scope and objectives of a network project is a foundational step that sets the direction, expectations, and boundaries for the entire project. It plays a pivotal role in project success by providing a solid foundation for planning, execution, and control.

The best laid plans..... In most cases, from my experience, you will start with a plan and methodology that will morph as the project progresses. The real answer is that there is no one project methodology that is the silver bullet for a scenario. Much like Bruce Lee, you have to be able to adapt on the fly and use aspects of all the methodologies as they are needed. Each has their strengths and weakness. Knowing when to use what aspects will turn you into an unstoppable project management machine.

The choice of methodology and tools should align with the specific requirements, complexity, and goals of your network project. It's also essential to consider the skills and expertise of your project team, as well as the organization's overall project management culture. Adapting the right methodology and utilizing appropriate tools can greatly enhance the efficiency and success of your network project.

A well-structured project plan and schedule serve as a roadmap for your network project. It helps in resource management, risk mitigation, and ensures that the project stays on track and within budget. Regularly reviewing and updating the plan is essential to adapt to changing circumstances and ensure project success.

The execution and monitoring phase is where the bulk of the work happens, and it's crucial for ensuring that the network project stays on track, delivers the desired outcomes, and meets quality standards. Regular communication, diligent monitoring, and proactive issue resolution are key components of successful project execution.

The control and management of changes and risks are ongoing processes throughout the project's lifecycle. A well-structured change management and risk management framework helps maintain project stability, reduces the potential for scope creep, and enhances the project's ability to adapt to unforeseen challenges. Regular communication with stakeholders is essential to ensuring that everyone is informed and aligned with project adjustments.

This is often the most important aspect of the project. Reviewing the project lets you visualize and review the things that went wrong. Knowing what went wrong and why, prepares you to see around corners for the next project. If you do this correctly, over time, you will experience and see it all which will add to your confidence and ability to maneuver through issues as they happen in real time.

You have to be able to roll with the punches. In a network project, nothing will go as planned, and you need to come to terms with this at the outset. Keep in mind the ultimate goal and timeline, then be very creative overcoming challenges to get there. Be calm. Always be calm. The customer takes their cues from you. If you are calm, they will be calm. Do not try to BS anyone, be honest, but come with solutions. We have encountered X, we are solving this with Y, and here is when it will be solved. Embrace the uncertainty, keep the important things (timeline and goals) at the forefront, and you will be successful.
