Not all project managers are good project managers - learn how to spot the difference! If you are new to project management or taking on a project manager role and not sure where to start, I will provide some best practices and common pitfalls that will help you improve your skills.
Areas of focus will be:
- Communication - not over or under sharing, but the right sharing at the right time in the right way
- Risk Management - putting words on a spreadsheet isn't enough, don't let them become issues
- Planning and Scheduling - focus on the right things at the right time
- Dependencies - moving roadblocks out of the way before they stall your project
- Maintaining Calm Under Pressure - be the problem solver, not the finger-pointer
