The project plan (aka, proposal) is built on scope, schedule, and cost. The project plan is like the flight plan that pilots file prior to taking off. It shows the intended route, speed, and arrival time. Sometimes the wind speed or direction changes or bad weather disrupts traffic. Our projects are like that, too. Unforeseen things happen. Having a plan allows us to determine whether we’re on course and can help steer us back to an on-time, on-budget arrival. It also helps us spot and manage Scope Creep, which is uncontrolled growth in a project’s scope, at any point after the project begins. The ability to manage scope creep and other project changes will greatly impact the success of your projects.

Most AE consulting firms are too busy to focus on attracting, developing, and retaining talented professionals, making it hard to grow. Through his work at the Engineering Management Institute, Anthony Fasano utilizes a proven framework to help firms build professional development plans, programs, and tools that help them attract, build, AND maintain strong teams and grow sustainably. In addition to assisting firms in these areas, Anthony has written a bestselling book entitled Engineer Your Own Success (by IEEE-Wiley Press), and under his stewardship, EMI has built a massive content platform including 5 active podcasts, 3 YouTube channels, and a popular blog dedicated to helping AE professionals become better managers and leaders.
