Choosing which project to take on is hands down the most important step to set yourself up for success. If the project does not align itself with business needs and goals, it will simply be a waste of time, money, and resources. Every successful organization has clearly defined goals that are communicated from the top down. Any business operation (in particular unique projects) should support these goals.
When choosing which project to pursue, you should evaluate how effectively success will benefit the direction of your company. Every angle should be considered:
-Does the project support my manager's objectives?
-Will the project improve metrics?
-How much time will it take?
-Do I have enough resources?
-Is there a clearly defined goal of the project?
-Will there be support?
-What is the probability of success?
The list could go on and on of course. Each organization has unique factors that will drive your decision. Be sure you make the right one. Once you do, be sure to move forward and don't sit on it.
