I have been at it 9 months now in my role and i love it. Made a post about it in fact. As a new guy, i love learning each day how to be better. Usually, there isnt a pm on the customer side. Today, i kicked off a project and there was a super experienced PM on the other side. It was slightly intimidating for sure. My project plan looked kindergarten in comparison, lol. But i am excited because this dude sounds legit and will be an awesome opportunity to work with and learn from someone experienced. For context, i am in a PMO, was the first PMP hired to a team of former csm peeps. The 2 added ..read more

My company is looking to open a new department/service, but I'm having to reach out to other systems/companies to find the data and the response rate isn't the best (of I even get one). Is it possible to create a sold business case without numbers and financial proof of need? submitted by /u/Sirius1995 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am a Resource Manager who worked in the government contractor sector for a time- I don't have any experience at a creative agency. I'm starting interviews for creative agencies as that's where most Resource Manager positions are, especially managing people resources. ANY info you can give me would be amazing. What kinds of projects do you staff, what roles are there, what are some things people can be good or not so good at, how do you handle emergencies and changing up resource plans, who tend to be the stakeholders for the projects, what are issues that tend to come up? I know a lot of th ..read more

Hello, so I worked at an NGO about 5 years part-time as a fundraising project coordinator (mostly event planning and fundraising a few hours a week) till 2022 on the side alongside my full-time positions (which were not project management jobs). It's a tough job market and I'm wondering if maybe I can make a case for myself to PMI to consider my experience somehow as allowing me to attempt the PMP. Is this even a wise choice in my career? To think of attempting the PMP without ever working as a "Project Manager"? I'm up for a challenge but also open to advice. submitted by /u/DareToCuddle [v ..read more

Hey everyone I am the lead PM in a team of 3 at a electrical/HVAC contractor. We normally handle smaller projects (10-100k) at a large volume (typically 5 completed each day) Currently I am personally tasked with 66 projects with a timeline spanning over the next 4-6 weeks. The office of 3 has a total of 137 projects in that timeline My real question is, does anyone have any advice for dealing with a large volume of small projects that move super quick? Anyone in a similar situation or is this somewhat unique to this company? I’m sensing a lot of burn out from the other PM’s, and management h ..read more

Need some advice. Im looking to make a career pivot from video production to project management. I currently manage a pipeline of various clients and work on all phases of production.

I'm currently hired as a project specialist on a poorly managed project. Timelines, deliverables, scope all if it seems out of whack and we don't have a real PM running anything.

I'm in a 6 month role here before going back to another position, I do like PM work and projects and would like to build a career in it in my company. I try to suggest ideas to improve the project be keep us on track, and use this as an opportunity to network etc. But I don't want to look like I'm t ..read more

Obviously, we all want our projects to go smoothly and without issue. In my early stages of my PM career, I am finding that when issues come up in projects I take them as a personal failure. I often find myself beating myself up for not identifying the risk earlier, which is not productive. I am proactive in identifying solutions and resolving the issue, but I am wondering if anyone can provide tips on how I can change my mindset and improve my wellness? submitted by /u/SoundersF3 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
