There are several key benefits to digital project management, including:
Traditional project management methods can be used as an alternative to digital project management. There are many alternatives to digital project management such as traditional project management, for example, Waterfall or Critical Path Method (CPM). They’re more sequential and have been used for decades throughout certain industries.
DPM is a project management approach that involves having a project plan and timeline in project management software. It also involves a team working together online and making changes based on agile methods. Additionally, DPM involves using data to track progress and report. Essentially, DPM leverages the digital landscape to streamline project processes, enhance communication and ensure project delivery is efficient Some key aspects include:
Project planning
This is the most crucial aspect. Create a plan, define your scope and the work breakdown structure for successful execution. The plan should identify the steps and resources needed to reach the objectives.
Resource management
Effective resource management involves the scheduling and allocation of tasks and resources, to the best-qualified members within the project's budget. Project resources play a vital role in moving a project from the 'raw stage' to completion. Some examples of project resources include people, information, tools, money and time.
Communication
Clear, effective communication is vital to project success. A communication plan is essential before beginning a project. It’s crucial to identify the key stakeholders involved and communication channels to be used.
Digital projects can be either narrow or wide. Narrow projects are small in scope and could include software development, digital marketing, website design, and search engine optimisation. Wide projects, on the other hand, are larger and continuous, and often lead to more projects. Examples of wide digital projects include process transformation, domain transformation, and business model transformation projects.
Digital project management doesn’t have to be difficult. When done well, it is an opportunity for both the client and the agency to steer success. However, a common issue in digital project management is lack of strategy. These types of projects require careful thinking, forethought, and team collaboration.
Here are some tools that can help:
Digital project managers are responsible for assigning tasks, setting deadlines, meeting regularly with the team and stakeholders, and working to remove any bottlenecks that slow down work. They are also equipped to handle conflict resolution; just as traditional project managers do.
The role of a digital project manager is crucial as they act as a bridge between all the stakeholders involved in a project. With their expertise, they can achieve optimal results that may not be possible otherwise. From conceptualisation to planning, execution, and testing, digital project managers are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the project until it is delivered to the end user.
Managing a digital project involves overseeing the subject matter experts on your team to ensure that they deliver on the items that your digital project is executing. A digital project manager's role is to ensure that the project is completed within the given timelines, budget, and quality standards while ensuring that the team stays productive.
