There is a lot of discussion about the need for project managers to produce value. The word “value” Has been included in plenty of posts but there is no actual mention of what value is or how it is defined. Value is defined differently by the stakeholders involved in a project. How can a project manager and team clearly define value for the project they are assigned to? What “value metrics “ should be defined to ensure a successful project outcome?

This is predominantly incumbent upon the project manager, but should be done with the strong and vocal support of the Sponsor."* *An extract from The Everyday Project Manager by Jeremy Nicholls, published by Routledge Press, and available here: https://buff.ly/3jjDzV8 #projectmanagement #everydaypm #routledgepress #projectmanagementtraining
