Here's my 2 cents perspective on the experience I have of planning, deployment, optimization/ improve performance. I still find myself being excited to do all of those however I put more effort into planning 85-90% and the key is to have a good team, the nice competitions that keep you up on your toes and updated. Not being able to plan properly and having shy teammates leads to an exciting journey of troubleshooting, stress, and pressure. New problems and providing new solutions is the ultimate learning that's where being agile is important.

Key takeaways, working as a team and making sure everyone feels comfortable sharing their opinions will benefit throughout the process and finished project. Change is important, it gives us opportunity for improvements. Staying motivated will keep our team motivated as well and on our way to reaching our goals

Everything needs proper planning (or sometimes not, depends) 📈 📉 When working on a project or new things, you need to think about every possibility to work on it smoothly. 📊 It depends from case to case and with respect to that, planning is nothing but a precautionary step (if you plan something, plan like playing chess) 😅 What things to keep in mind? 1. What are the constraints? ✅ ⭕ 2. What things can go wrong if I do this? 🔁 3. Keep people's emotions (you are working with) and thoughts in mind always. It plays a huge role while working on a team/someone. ♨ 4. Of course there are technical plans for a tech task too. That is mostly done by everyone.. Drop your thoughts in the comments. 📢

This, in turn, will give rise to satisfied investors and professional bodies and make the project management company prosper. There are critical success factors common to projects of all kinds. Success factors include defining clear goals and adhering to set budgets and deadlines. However, supporting people is paramount to success, so they work as a team at peak performance levels.

For me, one of the most important takeaways from this course is in the Components of The Team: 1. Building the Team 2. Assigning Responsibilities 3. Putting the Team to Work This is critical because no matter well defined the project scope and requirements are alongside a well-defined and aligned resources, once the team is "wrong", execution becomes difficult or impossible. Nothing as great as A Good Team. This is where your managerial skills come to play. You must know who does what at every stage/phase of the project by identifying 1. Who is responsible for what 2. Who accounts for what 3. Who and when to inform 4. Who and when to consult Thanks.

Personally, I don’t believe micromanaging is a sustainable form of managing a team. As a project manager, your goal is to ensure the success of the project by empowering your team to do the work. You need to trust your team and believe in them to get the job done without getting in the way, 'cause, believe me, it is exhausting. Micromanaging causes friction and sometimes misalignments on what and how things should be done. Instead, try setting clear, specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound goals, making sure everyone understands what is expected of them. This could be desired outcomes, deliverables, metrics, or results. Then, allow your team to figure out the how themselves. In my experience as a team lead, setting clear expectations eliminated confusion and drastically reduced rework on tasks, resulting in timely delivery on deadlines. The key thing here is setting clear expectations and communicating them to the team. EMPHASIS ON COMMUNICATION.

I had a request from a newly appointed manager, for advice on how to manage a Team, and here’s what I shared. Maybe it will be useful to you, as well. Just give them all the information, context and resources to get their work done, and have them update you regularly. Let them know that you are available as a resource, as well, but let them do the work on their own. The younger workers are particularly sensitive to overbearing managers. Last tip: go over the Project Plan with them from the beginning, explaining how it all fits together, and what their role is, why it’s important and where that work fits into the big picture. Here is a simple Project Management System: PROJECTS 1. Define Objectives 2. Plan Job, with Steps, Resources (People, Money, Other) and Schedule 3. Execute Plan 4. Monitor Progress and Deviations from Plan (Bottlenecks, Logjams, Missing Links, Lagging Items) 5. Revise Schedule, as required, but Push to On-Time Finish Meet with your Team at important points in the Project to go over 4. and adjust 5. if needed.

The success of projects that contain technical complexity requires dealing with each milestone in the project as a partial project having its own requirements and procedures, specifying the details of its outputs, and also choosing those responsible for it accurately to ensure that milestone is well achieved on time and in the appropriate manner. Then comes the integration between each milestone. step and the steps that follow with a logic of analysing the outputs of each step as inputs for the following steps in technical manner. This can only be achieved with good communication between team members and giuded by project management always looking forward.

What conditions form a great team? Project Management in the experience industry is a plethora of variables, a dichotomy that’s a conglomeration of actionable data and an enmeshment of human spirit. PM is 90% communication, but the 10% keeps it spinning off the rails. Budget. Schedule. Quality Control. Technical Direction. Etc. But if there’s a kink in the armor of moral, it’s gridlock. Then there’s the contrary, when a contagious energy feeds on itself, and momentum skyrockets. What is it about these moments that makes them so? Is it the mission? Purpose? Common values? The culture? Feeling valued? Is it that each member holds an archetypical role, feeling valued as the responsible agent of that important contribution in their own right? I think being valued and having enough responsibility to earn that value is an important combination for anyone at any level. Or is it breaking boundaries, doing something we’ve never done before? Pushing limits? Doing something new? What’s that secret concoction that makes a great team?

Focus on your strengths.
