Basics Program Management in 3S-R-S

9 basics for a PM are 3S, 3R, 3S

  1. scope: what in scope and what not.
  2. spending/cost: budget and bill of material cost
  3. schedule: milestone, start, and end. Often most important KPI for PM

  1. resources: the most important is the human resource but also includes tools
  2. risks: the key for being the better PM.
  3. reliability/quality: link with the scope closely. “Don’t ship junk”

  1. sharing-info/communication: PM shall spend more than half your time in this. Sync and align.
  2. sourcing/procurement: leverage the ecosystem and don’t reinvent the wheel.
  3. stakeholder management: find out who they are and influence them without power.

Lastly, integration: put all together, find the balance and do the trade-off.
