6. What Successful Project Managers Do
 Traditional approaches to project management emphasize long-term
planning and a focus on stability to manage risk. But today, managers
leading complex projects often combine traditional and “agile” methods
to give them more flexibility — and better results.
 Despite meticulous planning and risk-management processes, a project
manager may encounter, on a near-daily basis, such events as the failure
of workers to show up at a site, the bankruptcy of a key vendor, a
contradiction in the guidelines provided by two engineering consultants
or changes in customers’ requirements.

7. Project Manager’s Role
 Such events can be classified according to their level of predictability as
follows: events that were anticipated but whose impacts were much
stronger than expected; events that could not have been predicted; and
events that could have been predicted but were not.
 All three types of events can become problems that need to be addressed
by the project manager.

8. FLEXIBILITY
 Coping with frequent unexpected events requires an organizational culture
that allows the project manager to exercise a great amount of flexibility

9. The Pareto Principle
 The Pareto Principle or 80/20 rule can and should be used by every smart
but lazy person in their daily life. The value of the Pareto Principle for a
project manager is that it reminds you to focus on the 20 percent that
matters.
 Those 20 percent produce 80 percent of your results.
 So, you should identify and focus on those things during your working
day.
 Do this well and you will enjoy the WORLD OF 'Productive Laziness'.
