The purpose of this study is to address the problems between project management and how project managers’ deal with managing expectations. Three of the many problems that project managers deal with while managing expectations are lack of stakeholder engagement, impossible deadlines, and resource deprivation. The project manager should be a leader who is able to organize, plan a successful project with specific goals, motivate, and demand maximum results. As a project manager, your expectations must be clearly defined and the roles and responsibilities must be spelled out of each team member. To keep the project from suffering from impossible deadlines, errors, undefined goals, lack of resource documents and lack of stakeholder engagement, it is best to request unlimited support in the beginning. When sponsors set high expectations before reading the details of the project, they are already setting the project up for failure with impossible deadlines. Impossible deadlines comes from many different project stressors, so to avoid conflict, address the scope of the project, the project plan, project risk, and project deadlines with the sponsors in the beginning. The sponsors give project managers deadlines, and those deadlines are given to the team members. Morale can quickly be diminished if you have a project manager that micromanages his team and repeatedly ask for update status. A successful project manager will share his vision with the team, and encourage them daily.
