This session covers a broad view of the different aspects of managing projects
![Page 3: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There are 2 basic approaches
Waterfall & Agile
![Page 4: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Waterfall = Step by step to create one final delivery
![Page 5: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Agile = Short cycles with lots of deliveries
![Page 6: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
You might find it easier to start with the Waterfall approach
![Page 7: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Winning Pitches = Be selective. Don’t mass apply.
Do your research. Provide what’s asked for and not just what you have.
![Page 11: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Aims | Budget | Timeframe | Deliverables

Deciding to Proceed = Be strategic. Don’t just chase money.
Use your mission and goals to see if the project fits.

Deliverables = Agree outputs. Set expectations.
Produce sensible contracts.
Be realistic. Impress but don’t over-commit.
![Page 16: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Estimation = Figure out the tasks, roles, materials, and
timeframes.
Estimation is guesswork. Plan to be wrong.
![Page 18: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Contingency = Build in buffers
Estimate in real working hours i.e. 5 a day. & add 20% to your overall timeframe.
![Page 19: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Structure = Assign the right team.
Define the roles needed, and clarify the hierarchy.
![Page 21: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Resourcing = Involve the right people.
Avoid taking on projects you can’t deliver. Outsource for skills you don’t have.
![Page 22: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Costing & Budgeting = Estimation + Expenses + Overheads.
Involve an accountant to ensure you’re getting it right.
![Page 24: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Managing Teams =Have faith in others’ abilities.
Inspire. Communicate. Collaborate.
There are 4 types of teams, and each needs different forms of leadership.
![Page 26: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Stakeholders = Any individual or group that impacts or is
impacted by your project.
For each one, identify 1) what you need from them
2) how important they are, and 3) what they need from you.
![Page 29: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Create a schedule (communications plan) for engaging with your stakeholders.
It will help you manage expectations.
![Page 30: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Finally, take time to build strong relationships with clients and funders.
Trust and goodwill make all the difference when things go wrong
![Page 31: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Managing Time = Break activity into tasks, and projects into
small milestones.
You can manage time through Gantt charts, but Microsoft Excel is
probably the easiest option.
![Page 33: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Try and capture actual time spent on a task vs. the budgeted time for it.
It will help you get better at estimation.
![Page 34: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Managing Profits = Track profit & loss on an ongoing basis.
Compare against estimated profits.
Avoid accommodating new outputs and activities without costing or charging for them.
![Page 36: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Monitoring Outcomes = Set targets (KPIs). Track them faithfully.
Target outcomes that achieve both the client’s aims and also your long term
social strategy.
![Page 38: Managing Projects - A Guide For Social Entrepreneurs](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062702/554ae0d7b4c9056a798b4f50/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
In the long run it is the overall social outcomes that will define the success of
your venture.

Evaluating Projects = Run team and project reviews.
Be critical, but don’t point fingers.
Document what you’ve learnt and write up case studies. Get references if you can.
