Tailoring The Big Choices: Unlocking Your True Potential

In every aspect of our lives, we are faced with numerous choices. Some may seem trivial, like what to have for breakfast, while others can have a significant impact on our future. These important decisions are what shape our lives, and when it comes to making them, it is crucial to tailor them to our own needs and ambitions.

But what does it mean to tailor the big choices in our lives? It goes beyond simply making a decision, it involves carefully considering all the options, understanding our own desires, and aligning our choices with our goals. The process of tailoring the big choices can have a profound impact on our personal and professional success.

Understanding the Big Choices

Before we dive deeper into the art of tailoring the big choices, let's first understand what they are. Big choices are the decisions that have a lasting impact on our lives. They often involve major milestones such as choosing a career path, starting a family, or pursuing higher education. These choices require careful thought and consideration as they shape our future.

The dilemma with big choices is that they can sometimes feel overwhelming. The weight of their consequences amplifies the pressure to make the right decision. Many individuals may find themselves paralyzed by indecision or making rushed choices that do not align with their true desires.

Tailoring Your Choices to Fit

Tailoring the big choices involves a step-by-step process that allows you to make decisions that are authentic and in line with your aspirations. Here are some essential steps to help you navigate through the process and unlock your true potential:

1. Reflect on Your Values and Goals

To tailor your choices, you must first understand your core values and long-term goals. Reflect on what truly matters to you in life and what you aspire to achieve. This self-reflection will serve as a compass, guiding you towards choices that align with your true self.

2. Explore All the Options

Once you have a clear understanding of your values and goals, it's important to explore all possible options. Take the time to research different paths, careers, or life choices that interest you. Consider the pros and cons of each option and how they align with your desires and aspirations.

3. Seek Guidance and Advice

Don't hesitate to seek guidance and advice from mentors, friends, or professionals who have experience in the areas you are considering. They can provide valuable insights and perspectives that may help you make more informed decisions.

4. Listen to Your Intuition

As you gather information and guidance, don't forget to listen to your intuition. Sometimes, your gut feeling can guide you towards the right path. Trust your instincts and consider how each choice resonates with your true self.

5. Take Action and Learn from Experiences

Once you have made a decision, take action and embrace the chosen path. Remember that no decision is set in stone, and there is always room for growth and adaptation. Embrace the journey, learn from your experiences, and make adjustments along the way if necessary.

The Benefits of Tailoring the Big Choices

By tailoring the big choices, you open yourself up to a range of benefits. Firstly, you experience a greater sense of fulfillment and happiness as you align your choices with your true desires. This leads to a more meaningful and purpose-driven life.

Moreover, tailoring the big choices allows you to make decisions that are tailored to your individual strengths and passions. This increases the likelihood of success and contentment in your chosen path as you are utilizing your unique talents to the fullest.

Lastly, tailoring the big choices empowers you to take control of your life. Instead of being a passive observer, you become an active participant in shaping your future. This sense of ownership and agency drives personal growth and fosters resilience in the face of challenges.

In a world filled with countless choices, it is essential to tailor the big ones to ensure a fulfilling and purpose-driven life. By reflecting on your values, exploring all options, seeking guidance, and listening to your intuition, you can make choices that align with your true self. Embrace the process, make adjustments along the way, and unlock your true potential. Tailoring the big choices is the key to creating a life of happiness, success, and personal growth.

Maybe once, Project Managers would have ‘just done the project’. But now, we have so many tools, methods, processes, and ideas at our disposal. And these mean we have choices.

And the more choices you have, the more chances there are that you il; be able to do a good job… as long as you choose wisely.

All Project Management is Hybrid Project Management
The arguments between proponents of traditional and agile project management are pervasive and toxic. In truth, both approaches have much to offer. But there is even more to be gained by creating a careful hybrid of different methodologies to fit the particular needs of each project.

Some projects will use techniques gathered largely (even exclusively, at times) from one end of the agile-predictive spectrum. Others may be equally weighted to the other extreme. But even these are drawing from a point or a range on a spectrum. In this sense, all project management is hybrid project management.

Selecting a Development Approach and Developing a Suitable Life Cycle
This means that selecting a development approach and developing a suitable life cycle for your project is a core skill.
This eBook covers the third of the eight Project Performance Domains in the 7th edition of the PMI’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (the PMBOK Guide).

In it you will find:
• My to the PMBOK Guide’s Project Performance Domains: what they are and why I think they matter.
• An overview of the Development Approach and Life Cycle Performance Domain. This includes a summary of what the PMBOK Guide includes, and my critical evaluation of it.
• A careful selection from my website articles about Development Approach and Life Cycle.

All the content of this eBook has appeared on my website at no charge. So, why have I created this eBook – and why am I selling it? The simple reason is convenience. It collates a whole set of content that forms a coherent whole. I believe it will be especially useful for students who are studying the 7th Edition of the PMBOK Guide. Most likely, you’d be doing so as part of your preparation for a PMI certification exam, like PMP (Project Management Professional) or CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management).

But this book is not solely (nor even largely) focused on exam preparation. The way I talk about Development Approach and Life Cycle is not necessarily aligned with the PMI’s own approach. Although, I am confident it aligns with good practice in any type of project and in any part of the world. However, you will always need to filter ideas and advice through the constraints and characteristics of your own situation and culture.

Summary
I hope this short, low-cost eBook will be a great asset to anyone who needs to understand Development Approach and Life Cycle. It takes you way beyond the content of simple Project Management texts, like the PMBOK Guide, or basic Project Management courses. I hope that this eBook will equip you to make the wise choices that will give your next project an optimum development approach and life cycle.
