In companies, too, employees try to complete their tasks before the end of the year, tidy up and make plans for the upcoming year. For project management, this means that towards the end of the year, many new project initiatives come in, while old initiatives my not have been planned yet. That is why also in project management it is important to look back and take the time to tidy up the project pipeline. Generally speaking, a full project pipeline is not a bad thing, but the problem is the risk that individual projects may become outdated or simply no longer useful as circumstances around the project have changed. Here are some tips on how to clean up your project pipeline:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><\/em><em>&gt;&gt; For projects that have already been postponed several times, it should be checked whether they are still necessary and feasible.&lt;&lt;<br \/><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--default\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/parm.com\/en\/what-you-should-do-before-next-year\/#1_Clarify_framework_conditions\" >1.

The first question you should ask yourself is whether the project absolutely has to be carried out. Projects that are necessary for customers or your company, for example, absolutely have to be scheduled and should not be left in the pipeline for too long. If, on the other hand, a project that has been waiting to be worked on for a long time and is repeatedly postponed in favour of other projects, may not be important \u2013 especially if it does not support the current business strategy, does not create benefits or does not serve the purpose of the company. Also check whether the resource requirements, risk or cost of the project have changed and whether it is still feasible with current capacity. If it is a necessary project, clarify how the additional resources required can be obtained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Discard_projects\"><\/span>3.
