ABSTRACT

As my final investigation I looked at whether project managers’ planning habits are related to project manager success. To facilitate the analysis of the project manager’s personal planning habits, two more indexes were defined:

Personal Planning Index = number of hours spent planning own work

Total hours worked per week

Personal Project Planning Index =

number of hours spent on project planning-related tasks Total hours worked per week

These indexes measure the fraction of a project manager’s time that is spent planning his or her own work and time spent planning project work. They are used for measuring planning habits and personal success.
