Lessons learned from managing an office relocation project with zero float
20 October 2015 – Dallas, TX and Washington, DC, USA – “Do or Die Project Management: Lessons Learned from a Zero-Day Project” is the title of a paper by Elizabeth Rodgers published in the October edition of the PM World Journal. Elizabeth is a Lead Associate for Booz Allen Hamilton in the United States. Her paper can now be found in the PM World Library.
According to Elizabeth’s abstract, “Projects take on a number of shapes, forms and lives of their own. Some are more successful than others depending on outside factors. The “Do or Die Project Management: Lessons Learned from a Zero-Day Project” project gets that name from the main feature of the project: the no float execution time. Execution time affected all aspects of the project including planning, execution, cost, risk, communication and closeout. The lessons learned from this project point to key factors, such as risk and communications management, which allowed it to be successful and points to factors that could have been detrimental. By examining these lessons project managers will be able to apply key insights to future projects that have similarities to “Zero-Day.”
