Project Concepts that Meet Needs
Project management exists because of the need to create something that does not exist or to create something better for what does exist. When you are coming up with project management ideas, you want to let your best creative concepts flow.
Take time to honor the process that occurs during a conceptualization phase. This is when you conceptualize an idea and generate project concepts. Don’t put a stop on your imagination. Instead, let you imagination run wild in an attempt to find an innovative solution to the need that demanded a project in the first place.
Use the idea conception time to do real brainstorming. That means you refuse to place a judgement on any ideas that are generated. Don’t worry about “how” your going to get the project done, just come up with the ideas. When you start trying to figure out the details, you stop the creative process and often fall back into mundane ways of thinking. You could easily forget to push forward to generate more ideas and select something before you’re ready to do so. Just think of the project and start letting the ideas flow.
