Project Management
Project management practice is not only for people who are in engineering and Technological field; it is followed by people who were in other fields.
Last weekend I went to Mysore for a trip, I went through a bus where a person (guide) who will show the tourist places in Mysore, that guy showed the places very well and he was particular in timings. He was strict in following the time management, he allocated time for each spots and the main thing was he asked everybody be in time. I can see the good coordination there when he asked everybody to return at sometime and also mentioned like “If you would not return at the specified time you will miss the bus” (this is in typical engineering and technological firm, “If you don’t perform well in a given time, you will be out”). On the next day I went to some other places, there is another guide who showed one temple in a hilly place, he asked everybody to return with in an hour. Everybody returned with an hour except two. Bus did not wait for those people, I was shocked to see how this guide started bus without getting those two, after sometime I came to know another guide was waiting there to get those two people. I saw the time management, coordination factors there. Guide who asked to start the bus, he don’t want to waste time because of two, since he has to take other people for lunch and he also has to show the rest of the places. After we were having lunch, those two people also came there and had lunch. Then bus started from that spot.
I can see time management, proper coordination followed there. Good job done by those two guides (I don’t remember those two people names)
