Question 1 Discuss the basic dimensions of good project management and provide an example to support your response

There are three basic dimensions of good project management, and these include knowledge, personal traits, and performance. The first dimension is dependent upon ensuring that the project manager possesses the necessary knowledge about important processes that will drive the project, has the fortitude to understand the appropriate methods to take throughout the project in regard to strategic decision-making, and utilizing the necessary resources and techniques that will ensure project success. The next dimension is dependent upon the ability to actually perform as a manager, project team, etc. for project success. Performance is measured by successful management of the project group, effective communication, and meeting deadlines on time among other measurements, which will determine if the project manager as well as project team is performing well. Good performance is contingent upon good performance, which leads to the third dimension, and this dimension is represented by the traits possessed by the project manager and team members. The project manager must possess competencies that align with effective negotiation skills, the ability to elicit respect, support, and commitment from team members, the ability to utilize in effective coordination of team members and the appropriate delegation of tasks for these team members, and the capability to appropriate job roles and responsibilities while effectively handling any conflict within the group.
