QUESTION 20 OF 29

Do you do any contingency planning when managing an IT development project?

The answer to this question should be pretty obvious. Anybody responsible for managing a project should plan for contingencies. No project goes completely smoothly from conception to completion, and as a project manager, you should anticipate issues arising that need to be addressed. The more experienced you are, the easier it is to anticipate the problems you may encounter and have contingency plans in place to address these.

"I believe it is critically important to have contingency plans in place for every project I manage. I always assume issues will occur and will need to be addressed. Having worked on many projects, I can usually anticipate these issues based on the nature of the project, the organization I'm working for, and any outside influences which may impact the project's progress. Having the plans in place, I'm able to put the contingencies in play and execute on them as the problems arise."
