Ricardo,
Obrigado pelos pod’s muito produtivos!
Fica muito clarto que o produto precisa ser planejado nos mínimos detalhes, evitando erros e perda de tempo. Ganhando agilidade na execução do projeto, bem como possibilidade certa de alcançar o sucesso.
Excelentes observações !!
Concordo que ao nos referirmos a fracasso em um projeto, não necessariamente estamos falando de um projeto não concluído, mas sim de um projeto que não atingiu os objetivos planejados. Concordo também que ao se investir mais tempo no planejamento em cada uma das áreas de conhecimento, certamente estaríamos reduzindo os riscos de fracasso mas por outro lado acredito que o excesso de detalhes pode travar a execução e dificultar seu acompanhamento em um cenário de escassez de recursos.
Another outstanding presentation. I really appreciate it !!! Jon
Parabéns, estou começando a participar desse universo e as dicas são de grande valor.
Gosto muito do seu trabalho, seus conhecimentos são repassados para todos, parabens e obrigado.
Muito bom seus comentarios, os profissionais que atuam no Planejamento passam pelas dificuldades no dia a dia, principalmente com Emprêsas que não tem Cultura com o Planejamento e sua Ferramentas.
Fracassos de um projeto
Comunicaçoes pobre – processo de duas vias, falar, ouvir, valores culturais
Gerenciamento é perda de tempo – planejar antes de executar
Processo Gestao mudança – saber lidar as mundanças
Falta liderança – o gerente tem que liderar o time
Recursos inadequados – desvio de recursos
METIGAR AO MAXIMO OS 10 INSUCESSOS.
Comunicação e gestão de pessoas, com certeza eliminam grande parte dos problemas de um projeto. Muito boa a entrevista.
É um privilégio termos este canal de comunicação com você. Obrigado Ricardo.
Para mim de todas as causas a mais introjetada em nosso modo de fazer as coisas é a desvalorização do ato de planejar. É tanto que até neste podcast ela invade na forma da frase “… perde tempo planejando…”. Isso porque sabemos o que é o certo mas o peso da cultura em que vivemos se impõe. Costumo dizer que até para atravessar uma rua planejamos: paramos, olhamos para os lados, fixamos o ponto alvo, decidimos se vamos ou não, modulamos a velocidade e executamos a travessia. Planejar não precisa ser sinônimo de demorar, mas sem planejamento até atravessar uma rua pode ser muito perigoso.
