Clear understand what project manager and project management mean for the organization where you are working performing the role. Saving Changes...
1. "Own" the business case supporting your project. By that I mean, understand it deeply, speak to executives using its language, and use it to help you establish purpose for the team and other stakeholders.

3. Be disciplined.
