One challenge of project management is encouraging the team to work together on the same sheet of paper. In todays increasingly specialized and functional team members it’s important that they be curious and learn more about each other and their individual activities. It’s better to work from same sheet than team working individually and try to tape or combine their work later.

I've seen two company types so far: - Project oriented - Product oriented

Diving deep into the core of project initiation, I’ve gained invaluable skills in planning, scoping, and resource allocation. I now have a keen eye for identifying and engaging stakeholders, ensuring every project starts with a clear vision and a solid foundation. But what truly stood out to me was the emphasis on soft skills. It’s crystal clear that successful project initiation is not just about the technical know-how—it's about leading with empathy, communicating with clarity, and building a team that’s motivated and aligned.

I must say, it has been quite a journey so far, and I'm truly amazed by the wealth of knowledge I have gained. Surprisingly, I have learned that flexibility is a key attribute of a successful project manager. I never realized how important it is to adapt one's approach to different projects and organizational contexts. This revelation has broadened my perspective and made me more open-minded in my approach to project management. As for the responsibilities associated with the role of a project manager, I find the strategic planning and decision-making aspects particularly appealing. The ability to shape the project's overall direction and make informed choices based on data and team input resonates with me. Additionally, the opportunity to lead and motivate a diverse team towards a common goal is something I find incredibly fulfilling.

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?

The best project managers know their team members and understand how they work best. Some need close monitoring and assistance. Others work better with more independence and flexibility. Understand how to keep team members working most effectively toward a shared goal.

Evidence points to several qualities as ingredients for project team success: - competence - a clear common goal - commitment to the common goal - an environment within which everyone contributes and everyone benefits - a supportive structure - alignment of project and organizational goals - HBE Managing Projects Large and Small

In today's environment, it has become a global process where time, quality, and cost are more critical than ever. The article I read, however, points out that when managing projects, it's important to focus on these aspects in order to be successful. https://lnkd.in/ggiyh6TP
