Why Your Small Business Needs A Project Manager
source:www.edocument-solutions.com

Even small businesses have projects. They may be launching a new product or service or creating a new website. All these projects require management, or the development of processes and oversight, to make sure every step stays on track. In short, a project manager.

Since many small companies want to keep processes streamlined and overhead low, however, they may not always decide to hire a project manager. This may be a mistake; project managers can offer several big advantages for smaller organisations. In fact, at least one survey found that 80% of high-stakes projects are directed by professional project managers.

If you own a small business, many of your projects could be high performance or have a significant impact on your success, so don’t they deserve a professional in charge? There are many benefits to hiring a project management professional for your small business:

1) One person in charge.

A project manager spearheads a project, which makes it easier to communicate with all your team members and stakeholders. It’s especially important for small companies since not all your team may be internal. As a smaller organisation, you may outsource some of your services (such as marketing, legal assistance, and accounting). A project manager can contact these outside members of your project to ensure everything runs smoothly.

2) Control the timing and budget.

Going over budget or schedule can have a significant impact on a small company project, where margins may be smaller. A project manager can define a schedule, timeline, and check in with all team members regularly to ensure a project is on track.

3) Manage risks.

Any project carries risk. In a small company, even a simple project such as setting up a website can carry hazards. If the website does not pay for itself in increased sales, for instance, it can threaten another project or the business’s bottom line. A project manager will define risks and develop ways to minimize or avert them.

These three main advantages alone can mean a project manager makes sound financial sense for your small business.

The benefits of using Help Organise Me to manage your project:

100% commitment from me.

No commitment from you.

Ad-hoc service, as and when required.

A qualified, experienced Project Manager at an affordable price.

Want to improve your sleep at night?

One of the best ways is to clear your clutter and turn your bedroom into a serene, relaxing space with these ten tips from organisation experts:

1. Take inspiration from hotel rooms and get your bedroom contents down to only the things you truly need and love.

“Your bedroom should be an oasis of tranquility so keep it free from things which don’t belong such as paperwork or exercise equipment,” advises decluttering expert Sarah Smith

“Think of how hotel rooms only house what’s comforting and necessary.”

2. Get rid of extra furniture!
“Items such as chairs or stools [can] simply serve as a clutter magnet,” says declutter coach Juliet Landau-Pope

It’s all too easy to hang on to things out of nostalgia or in case you need them ‘one day.’

If you have a stool, keep it clear.

3. Keep the bedside table clear
“Only keep on your bedside table the book that you are actually reading – not the pile that you feel you should be reading,” advises Juliet.

Same goes for empty glasses, toiletries, or whatever other clutter builds up there – give it a quick tidy as part of your morning routine.

Top 10 tips for organising your kitchen:

1. Start by editing your crockery

“Rid yourself of anything chipped or that just doesn’t feel right, such as unsatisfyingly small mugs or wine glasses that are too chunky, and get pleasure from using your best rather than saving it for a special occasion,” says decluttering expert Sarah Smith.

“Also if you wash up regularly, rather than gradually filling the dishwasher, you’ll discover as a family of four you don’t really need fifteen dinner plates.”

2. For a clear counter, get rid of any clunky (and barely used) gadgets taking up unnecessary space

“If you only use them rarely, put them away inside cabinets or in a utility room. If you don’t use them at all, donate or recycle them,” advises declutter coach Juliet Landau-Pope

It’s all too easy to hang on to gadgets you don’t need because you think you might put them to use one day, so be ruthless.

3. Try not to accumulate so many of said gadgets in the first instance

“Resist the temptation to buy every must-have device linked to food fads. Do you really need that spiraliser/bread machine/ juicer?” continues Juliet.

She also recommends foodies ask for experience gifts such as cookery courses or restaurant vouchers come Christmas, if they’re short on space.

Sarah adds: “Go old-school and stick with using the oven, a frying pan and cafetière.”

4. Cupboards fit to burst?

“If you’re using packets of dried fruit or nuts to bake Christmas cakes and puddings, store opened packets together in plastic boxes with lids to keep them fresh,” says Juliet.

5. Don't stockpile

Sarah adds: “Don’t stockpile food, so plan meals and buy what you actual need a couple of times a week.

Use ingredients up before getting more, so embrace those neglected lentils festering in the cupboard by looking up some soup or dahl recipes to make a meal out of them.”

Keeping everything clearly labelled in tupperware boxes can help you keep track of what you have.
