5 Questions to Ask in a Project Manager Interview
Interviews are not just about a company assessing if you will be a good fit, it’s also a time for you to assess if the company will be a good fit for you. Here are some questions I’ve learned to ask over my years as a project manager that help me assess the company as well.
Keep in mind this list is not exhaustive, but hopefully will inspire additional questions for you to ask about things that matter to you!

Project Task Relationships
มุมมอง 1148 หลายเดือนก่อน
Understanding relationships between tasks can help project managers to better discern when a project can be completed. It can be tempting to simply schedule one task after another but this can introduce unnecessary lead time.

Create A Robust Project Plan

Building a robust project plan is key to any successful project. While it’s not possible for it to be perfect, the goal is to bring to life the project objectives by nailing down the execution. One call out I’ll make is that in this video I’m using the term “Project plan” and “schedule” interchangeably which is arguably incorrect. To clarify, while the schedule becomes the heartbeat of the proj...

Scrum Dislikes and Frustrations | Project Mgmt Made Simple
I think PMs managing projects that are linked to technologycal change should have technical knowledge/understanding. Currently working on a project where PM is not technical, bless, PM gets lost in the conversations and asks me, the tester, to translate.
Wow! These are awesome questions that I never thought to ask! Thank you🔥
Do you please mentor people?
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. Just need a foot in the door :-(
Thank you so much for this. Do you help with informal interviews please?
Thank you for sharing this video
Thanks sister much appreciated 🙌🏻 straight to the point
Is there any tip for someone that is unemployed now? I am SMC.
what is SMC?
@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimple sorry. I meant to say Scrum Master Certified.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video and awesome explanation. This answers made my life so beautiful as an IT Project Manager. I have over 8 years of experience but when they ask tell me about yourself I can't answer this properly. But definitely this will make my day easier from now onwards.
sure thing!
Hi. Is the CAPM exam an open book exam?
"Promo sm" 😡
I live in the DMV area. Where are you located? I need a mentor here frfr.
I'm in LA! But I offer online coaching: www.projectmgmtmadesimple.com/services
Love your channel! Very helpful, thank you! I can’t wait to start my new career as a Scrum Master! 🙏🏽
Glad I found your channel. It’s been super helpful while I go into my Scrum Master program starting on the 15th.
This was very helpful as I’m currently in a program to get my Scrum Master.
Do you have any tips on starting a career as a business analyst? Please
There are several paths. If you work primarily in Finance for instance, find a BA that works in Finance, ask for an informational interview and to shadow them on projects. Speak with your manager about your interest in becoming a BA. Look for BA internships.
@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimple thank you very much
What's the relative entry level role for scrum master?
Hi, there isn't just one path unfortunately or fortunately depending how you look at it. I suggest watching this video for more detail: th-cam.com/video/F4hkbCkez6M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uPzWfQyD0u7lX9zF
Thanks 🙏🏻
Currently taking a Scrum master program. It was suggested to me by my sister-in-law who is in Cybersecurity to get the certification because of my HR and HRIS background. Plus I enjoy training and coaching to success. I had no idea what a Scrum Master was before she mentioned it and I did my research. Glad I found your channel for extra knowledge and guidance 🙏🏽.
@@PhaMa1002 Glad to hear my videos are helping you!
Thanks. This helped
A clear and helpful video.
What if I have my HS diploma but I still don't know the education behind the PM... I mean I don't want to do the Google just to get hours... do you think I should do the exam or the education?
The Google PM program gives you the education behind PM which are also the hours needed for the exam.
OMG, I think finally i found very sensible example how to introduce yourself. Thanks a lot for your efforts and insights. Please make a video how to answer interviewer when he asked "Do you have any questions for me" I hope you see this comment
Thank you ❤
Thank you 🤍
PMP is a short-term answer, but it's not my aim, which is a BS in Project Management followed by an MBA, which will earn you $200k per year if you have an MBA. I have 10+ IT Project Management.
I have yet to see a trend in employers seeking someone with a PM degree, in fact curriculum for a PM degree is still fairly recent. A PMP in today’s market still is more commonly asked for from what I’ve seen on job postings than an MBA. It certainly can help but it’s more likely if a job is requiring an MBA, that’s for an executive level role which is beyond Project Management.
@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimple I been IT Project Manager for 12 years without PMP just completed 8 million dollar project in December 2023 Now I do have degree in IT. I see your point if one is trying to get into project management it maybe good idea to get PMP however at this point it’s useless to me.
Most positive narration of scrum yet, BUTT STILLL you do not get the crux of the matter here. Scrum masters are not meant to be leaders, so stop seeing your self as one and preaching to do so. And if you still somewhat believe you are a leader, you should take responsibility of the outcome. Claiming that development team is responsible for whatever the outcome is... negative/positive/desired/undesired but not you as a scrum master while talking about your role of leadership in the matter is UTTER NON-SENSE. I remind you that the first and foremost aspect of a leader is to take responsibility of the performance and state of the group she/he "LEAD"s and answer for where such LEADING make "the project" end up with.
oh my
Straight to the point and very concise!!! Thank you
Great Video! Thank you for the valuable information.
🥰This is really helpful and a new way to look at these certifications! Great perspective! 🚀

I have the ITIL 4 CERT do you think that would be enough for me to take the CAPM exam after I study?
I also have college education
hm I'm not well versed enough on the ITIL certs to say if there would be enough overlap in content to take the CAPM exam.
got it ty so much@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimple
Very nice explanation i saw ur few other videos too Can u make one video on how BA gather requirements documents it and tgen how it gets translated to design n dev teamand tgen to test cases n then Uat and how much BA involvement in these phases( i assume not much in design n dev phase) Please give example like WEB based app maybe updating the page If you can iwill appreciate bcz u make videos very simplified n easy to point
sure thing, I'll add to my backlog of videos. For now what I'll share is that the BA will gather requirements based on conversations with the users, they will then present those requirements to be estimated for implementation by design, dev and testers (this may be QA or the BAs), during implementation the BA should be avilable to clarify questions around requirements, once design, dev and the testers complete their work, UAT will commence (this may be the users performing testing and/or a demo for user signoff, in some cases there is a Product Manager that will provide the signoff). If you'd like to discuss your situation in particular feel free to book a coaching call with me!
Where’s the best pls e to get the capm?
The CAPM is offered exclusively through PMI.org.
@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimple this is what would really help with getting hired in the project management world? Any other certificates you recommend?
you can consider the CSM if you're looking to get into IT project management @@AMUSTYPANDA
@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimpleI’m currently getting my Scrum Master to become an IT project manager.
Thank you for valuable information. I currently taking Google PM Certification and planning to give CAPM Exam too. I want to know about something. Is it compulsory to have a degree to become project manager??
From what I see in job postings, yes having a degree is often required.
okay thank you ☺@@ProjectMgmtMadeSimple 😃
I did both I’m happy I did
I did both any tips on finding a job? Thanks in advance
Did you find a job?
Thank you. I was Interviewed recently and i had a feeling this was where I messed up.
