6 Clear Steps to Execute a Project Plan for 2025

There are two aspects linked to a successful project completion: Planning {tag previous blog} and Execution.

After defining the scope of the project and sharing the bigger picture as to how it’s linked to the company vision and goal, it’s time for execution.

Here’s what you need to do execute the plan

1. Project documentation:

Make sure the project plan document (includes the goal, resources, timeline, budget, tasks) created using TimeDive is shared with all the employees executing it.

2. Schedule check-in meeting:

Based on the project nature and experience of the employees involved, you can have daily, weekly check-ins or you can meet ups after important milestones.

3. Share situational awareness:

As a leader, continually check and question the progress with the on-ground team to ensure the plan stays corrected.

As an employee, it’s vital to share the information if anything changes so that the leaders can adjust strategic decision making and the entire team is in sync with the current status.

4. Give autonomy to your employees:

Avoid telling your employees how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their result.

Some of the greatest innovations like Google maps have been created by employees as their leaders exercised complete autonomy.

5. Don’t delay taking decision:

Certain unfavourable situations will arise and you need to make decisions amid uncertainty as your team looks up to you.

Act on logic and not emotion. Take decisions based on the immediate information available and tweak the decision if the situation changes with new information.

6. Keep documenting:

Update the progress of your tasks in your project management tool like TimeDive so your managers are aware about it and don’t have to reach out for status updates

Maintain detailed records of project activities, decisions, and outcomes.

Once the project meeting is completed, conduct a post-project review to identify lessons learned, areas for improvement and the highlights of the project. Do give a shoutout and reward your employees to make them feel appreciated. Will help you keep your team energised and their morale high.

TimeDive’s project management solution will also help you manage their work hours during the project and keep a tab on their leaves too so that the project continues to be on track without missing any deadlines.
