Project Initiation And Setting Up For Project Management Success

Great generals, like great sports coaches, don’t just rush the field and hope for the best. Their strategies are precisely planned. Whether the conquest is for territory or trophies, clear objectives, and a good map, raise the prospect for victory. Likewise, focused planning and reliable communication are a powerful combination in any arena, pointing new projects toward success.

Taking the time to create four introductory documents can raise your field advantage: Project Charter, Stakeholder Register, Stakeholder Analysis Matrix and the Stakeholder Management Strategy. These documents are produced by project managers during the initiation phase of a project, before other detailed planning. They form the foundation of the project’s progress, allowing you to work out exactly what you are going to do and set some guidelines for the rest of the project.

T-Mobile's Project Emerald: HTC Glacier - Dual Core Smartphone

Recently, T-Mobile has hinted towards one of their future endevor's entitled "Project Emerald". In Quarter 4 of 2009, T-Mobile had announced "Project Black", which entailed great budget plans for current and future T-Mobile customers. The buzz that follows this year's "Project" is that T-Mobile will be unveiling a new HTC smartphone to compliment their brand new HSPA+ network. With the addition of the Samsung Vibrant, it would seem that T-Mobile is attempting to take a step forward in the competitive smartphone race. It's obvious that T-Mobile has been behind in the race with its fellow carriers for having "The Best Smartphone" available, so hopefully this "Project Emerald" will help usher T-Mobile ahead of the pack.

It can be assumed that this rumored phone will take advantage of T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, considering the fact that T-Mobile does not currently have a HSPA+ enabled phone available on their network.

In this video, I discuss T-Mobile's Project Emerald, as well as the rumored HTC Glacier.
