Was aber muss ich wie an wen über welche Kanäle im Unternehmen kommunizieren, um eine positive Wahrnehmung des Projektes zu sichern? Ich fasse eine Vielzahl solcher Maßnahmen unter dem Überbegriff \"Projektmarketing\" zusammen. Bei diesem zweiten Teil geht es um die konkrete Umsetzung des Projektmarketings, Projektmarketingstrategien, die Beziehung zwischen Projektmarketing und Stakeholdermanagement, Qualitätssicherungsaspekte und natürlich Kosten, die für Projektmarketing einzuplanen sind. Wenn Sie als Auftraggeber oder Projektleiter arbeiten, sollten Sie diese Podcastserie auf keinen Fall verpassen.

Alle Anforderungen sind erfüllt und die Abnahme war erfolgreich. Nun kann das Projektergebnis endlich produktiv gehen. Doch die Rechnung wurde nicht mit den Anwendern gemacht. Sie wurden über den Projektverlauf hinweg nie wirklich befragt, wurden kaum in das Projekt eingebunden und fühlten sich insgesamt übergangen. Innerer Protest machte sich bereits früh breit. Die Konsequenz daraus: Das Projektergebnis wird zwar eingeführt, aber keiner arbeitet damit. Das Projekt wurde in Time, in Budget und in Quality erfüllt. Theoretisch ein voller Erfolg und aber praktisch ein Fehlschlag, denn die Akzeptanz tendiert gegen null. Was ist...2016-07-0400 minIT ProjektmanagementIT ProjektmanagementFolge 26: Wie muss ein wirksames IT Freelancer Profil aussehen?Ziel aller unternehmerisch denkenden IT-Freelancer ist es, eine möglichst hohe Jahresauslastung zu erreichen. Das ist allerdings bei genauer Betrachtung gar nicht so einfach. Ist man in einem laufenden Projekt gebunden, dann steckt man dort häufig zu mehr als 100% der verfügbaren Zeit fest. Dazu kommt, dass vom Auftraggeber häufig eine „optionale Verlängerung“ vertraglich in Aussicht gestellt wird. Erschwerend kommt oben drauf, dass diese „Option“ oftmals erst wenige Tage vor Ablauf gezogen wird. Es ist also gar nicht so einfach, sich auf der einen Seite rechtzeitig um ein Folgeprojekt zu bemühen wenn man auf der anderen Seite weiß, da...2016-03-3119 minIT ProjektmanagementIT ProjektmanagementFolge 25: Scheinselbständigkeit, Hexenjagd auf selbständige IT\'ler?In Deutschland wird vor allem die IT Branche seit Jahren immer wieder durch das Thema „Scheinselbständigkeit“ in Unruhe versetzt. Es gab in der Vergangenheit keine klaren gesetzlichen Kriterien, anhand derer man ausschließen konnte, als Selbständiger oder Freiberufler selbst als \"scheinselbständig\" zu gelten. Im November 2015 wurde nun ein Gesetzesentwurf vorgestellt, der Klarheit in diese Rechtsunsicherheit bringen sollte. Liest man diesen Entwurf, hat man das Gefühl, dass nicht nur der klassische Dienstvertrag abgeschafft und kriminalisiert werden soll, man könnte fast meinen dass hier eine regelrechte Hexenjagd auf selbständige IT\'ler angebahnt wird.

Zweitens durch Nachahmen: Das ist der leichteste. Drittens durch Erfahrung: Das ist der bitterste. Nun sind ein paar Tage vergangen, seit Konfutius diese Weisheit auf die Welt losgelassen hat und in Bezug auf Projekte wurden viele, ja- zum Teil auch bittere Erfahrungen gemacht. Glücklicherweise nicht umsonst, denn aus vielen dieser Erfahrungen wurden Lehren gezogen.
