To begin, as a Project Management rule of thumb, spend20% of your time on transactional based activities like budgets and schedules and the rest80% on transformational basis such as leadership.1.
Communication communication communication.
Backbone of project management.
Ensure you communicate to the right people at the right time with the right methods/channels of communication.2.
Clear goals and objectives: Know what you want to achieve.
Have a well defined project scope.3.
Stakeholder analysis: Know your stakeholders, their interests and influence in the project.
In today's world, a project's success or failure is measured in terms of meeting or exceeding your stakeholder's expectations.
Winning key people's support would help in increased resources.
Also helps you in identifying critics of the project that can bring you down.4.
Right people and resources: Cannot emphasize the importance of having the right people on the project board.5.
Leadership: Finally you.
As a project manager, you are the ultimate person responsible for the entire project.
You are the shepherd with the stick.
Ensure you have the right attitude and leadership qualities to motivate your staff and keep things under your control.

1) Create a very logical budget of the project and after its approval make sure the availability of funds accordingly before the project kick off and take full responsibility of using the funds till successful completion of the project.
Any change in budget during the project should have very logical reasons like change in scope of work from customer, Government rules changes not under control, etc.2) Understand the demands of the project and appoint the right people for the right jobs with clear guide lines given to them.3) Create all the supply chain mechanism for the material requirement of the projects with various approved vendors and ensure timely release of orders and ability of suppliers to deliver without compromising any delay caused.
i.e.
all supply vendors should be predefined and analysed, rather frame contracts signed with them along with fixed prices as per the budget stated in point number one, so that the project teams ordering as per their requirement should have a smooth delivery procedure.4) Keep a track of performance from the vendors as well as teams working on the project.
Keep on motivational attitude alive with various rewards for successful project mile stones achieved.
Be strong to take hard and urgent decisions in case of bad performances, however in such events of bad performance all aspects should be catered for carefully i.e.
by replacing or punishment what affects on the project progress and accordingly such decisions to be made if no other choice.5) Monitor and keep consistent all progress and budgeted expenses to ensure successful completion within required time lines.
