HOW TO WRITE A PROJECT?
DON’T: Convince Ana to be a Project coordinator. Ana had difficulties in co-operation with new
partner organisation and with new administrative rules. After several unsuccessful attempts to organise
everything to feel confident and “under control”, she was offered another job and resigned.
DO: Assess that the probability of that Ana being unhappy is high, but that she is also feeling insecure
for the time being. Come up with a plan including several (not one) options: Ana agrees to
start, with an intern next to help. Talk with partners and ensure that they can find a replacement,
if needed. Additionally, decide to engage additional financial resources for hiring a new person.
Finally, the entire project team agrees to start identifying a new project manager.
