More and more organizations are incorporating environmental considerations into their thinking about the deliverables of their projects, and some are even integrating this thinking into the operation of that deliverable. It's not only good for the planet; it's good for business.
Green Project Management looks at projects through an environmental lens. That doesn’t mean decisions are always made differently or "in favor" of the environment, but that the environment is considered in the planning and decision-making processes, including the conservation of project resources, which should be part of every project manager’s mission anyway.
And even if green project management isn’t on the radar in your company yet, you can advance your career by taking a green approach to projects. It can certainly differentiate you in a very positive way from your peers and open up new opportunities.
The goal of this Job Aid is to help you identify ways you can implement Green PM practices in your projects. This piece will get you thinking about how you approach the planning, risk and communication aspects of your projects. Answer the questions in this Job Aid after checking out the Related Reading, and consider how you might adopt Green PM principles on your next project.
