Instructor: Donnie Mack
“The mark of a master builder is not the house they finish—it’s the team, the system, and the discipline they build in the process.”
Connecting Core Disciplines
Discipline
Core Purpose
Key Takeaway
Risk Management
Anticipate and control the unknowns.
The best builders think in “what-ifs” before they’re forced to react.
Scope Management
Define exactly what success looks like.
Clarity prevents conflict; scope discipline builds trust.
Schedule Management
Turn planning into momentum.
A schedule is a leadership tool, not a spreadsheet—it sets rhythm and accountability.
Cost Management
Protect profit through control and forecasting.
Every dollar tells a story—listen early, act quickly, and track always.
Resource Management
Align people, materials, and timing.
The right resource, at the right time, prevents most crises before they start.
Quality Management
Build reputation through process.
Quality isn’t an inspection—it’s culture, craftsmanship, and follow-through.
Communication Management
Lead with clarity, not volume.
Great project managers translate complexity into confidence.
Plan → Execute → Monitor → Communicate → Adjust → Repeat
“The best project managers don’t chase fires—they design systems that don’t ignite.”
