How many people have you met who did not have the resources and they beat somebody who had all the resources?
Working as a project manager you have to learn on the fly, cope with business turmoil and balance agility with quality.
When business conditions change mid-project, when your key sponsor leaves the organization or when your critical team members fall sick - it is your ability to stay resourceful in those harsh conditions that will determine whether or not your project survives.
Key to continued success as a project manager is that you rarely say ‘no’, if ever. Sometimes you need to modify the path to get to the destination.
Not having resources is not an excuse not to get things done.
Resourcefulness is the ability to find a means to get something done, regardless of resources. You do this by applying various techniques and ways of thinking to defining, analysing, prioritising, finding alternatives for and dealing with or solving challenges and problems.
Being resourceful is about being able to see potential in things that others might consider useless — it's about finding opportunity in a situation where there doesn't seem to be any.
‼️Final conclusion ‼️
It is not always about the resources you have — it’s about the way you use them. Being resourceful is, therefore, a matter of being smarter than the rest of the market when it comes to resource management.
