In Project management  absolute precision is not required . Project manager should concentrate on the major Process and Outlines . he shouldn't go deeply in Technical details except it make some problem and his team cannot manage . Project manager observe the overall progress and the acheivements in the scope of work . he can ask his specialists about precise data for his reference. but he should precise about the status of his Project

No - project management is about creating a future state that is unknown and when dealing with numerous unknowns there will always be issues you didnot think of as you progress along the project life cycle that require a rethink or rework and so precision should not be expected until very close to implementation.

The successful project managers are those that adapt easily, use intuition  and not follow a methodology by the book but rather use the project management principles to guide them. Additionally a successful project manager is good at getting work through others so aspects like the ability to collaborate, to create high performing teams and create solid relationships are more important than precision.

It is more successful to identify issues that require change and resolve them, rather than sticking to a plan that will ultimately not result in success as the plan would have been based on the information at hand at the time.

I am assuming the precise means "Perfect" here. A professional manager shall be precise in setting objectives, outlining activities and outputs, budget preparation and evaluating performance and control.

 

 In case of Engineering design and calculations, the Manager shall have to be must be precise and accurate.

 

 

However, when the work is done by his subordinates and if the Manager goes for preciseness, the Manager, in many instances, shall have work extra hours to revise and update the things (say, a report or write up) and the Manager shall have to forego opportunity cost for the additional time spent. In such cases, the Manager shall accept the job of as long as it is “Fit for Purpose.”

For successful project management, commitment is more important than precision. The degree of precision required will be different at different stages and between different stakeholders. There can not be compromise on precision while delivering overall deliverables of project in terms of scope, quality and time. But based on priority to Business and impact to Users, there must be flexibility in adhering to precision.

Yes we need to be precise to be able to achieve our objectives. Especially at higher levels of Management where main job functions are good business knowledge and better communications both while giving feedback and reporting results.

Being precise is the key to success, one should not leave things open ended. One of the fundamentals of being a PM is communications, for which one needs to be precise in the communications with stakeholders and associates. Followed by the Project requirement specifications, deliverables and timelines. It is the PM prime responsibility to deliver the project, communications, expectations, timelines, etc has to be communciated precisely and updated regularly as per the dynamics of the project.

Precision (accuracy to the level of 100%) is not a humanely achievable target for all tasks and activities. If we had such perfection in all tasks across the world, we are looking at world peace.

 

Hence such precision in calculations are set in environments where the stakes or risks are high. These are places like nuclear power plants, air travel communications or areas of work like even diamond cutting.

If humans were to be precise always, we would not have needed terms like auditing, third party review, testing, corrections.

It is undeniable that precision is of paramount importance as a project management skill. However, in being precise, the Project Management Professional must be careful not to be so preoccupied in the very minor nitty-gritty of a project that he/she forgets the main objective of the project at hand. So, I believe that a Project Management Professional must be able to balance precision with time management and prioritization.
