I’m so glad I found your page! I am a new PM, I was given the title of PM at my last job but I very rarely did true PM work. I found a new role that requires PM skills and I feel overwhelmed. Your content has been so helpful to me and I’m hoping to start your training soon.

Great video! I have an interview today for a project manager role. I have no degree, but was highly recommended by a friend for this position. My current position is QA testing, creating bug/enhancement tickets, HTML and presenting them to the developers.
Wishing you all the best at your interview! I also have a 45 min webinar that I think will benefit you. In this free training I walk you through the five key items needed on all projects, it's what I call the FAB FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT. The FAB FIVE are the 5 key items that you must do on every project - if you only do 5 things, these are them! It’s a great way to simplify projects, while still doing the essentials needed to ensure project success. Save your seat here: www.slayprojectmanagement.com/webinar Thanks for watching, cheers!
I had a long discussion with the owner of the organization that hired me as a project manager about the importance of analyzing risk based on evaluating the field situation. He is a person who is too positive and tends to overlook things. Fortunately, my suggestion was accepted by other officials, and it is true, when things happen that are not desirable, everything can be directed to return to the track more easily because it has been prepared for risk mitigation. Great video Ms. Girdler!

I am totally overwhelmed and discouraged on this large office furniture project I just don’t seem to have enough time to do anything. This is very frustrating

In my company, we run different schemes, and our team is transitioning from an admin team to a PMO team. So, before starting anything, I scheduled individual meetings with the scheme’s SMEs to process map what they do and identify gaps/overlaps/ issues. Once that’s done, the plan is for my team to brainstorm solutions, which may take a while, and get started with the project planning. Do you think that’s a good approach? I’m a new PMO coordinator.
I think the one thing I struggle with with our organization is we don’t exactly have a “team” that is defined for working on projects. We have a pmo but that is only 3 project managers/coordinators. 2 qa, a group of devs, product managers for each software deliverable. But they’re all working on their own things. Not exactly on any of the on-boarding projects. It’s hard to meet pre defined timelines this way
I’m so glad i found your page , i am a new project manager i was given a title of project manager at my last job but i very rarely did the work properly but this video helped me alot in learning about pm skills and QA testing and creating budget and ticket, HTML and presenting to developers.

Thx, Adriana! This is interesting that you shared this video during this time. I have a project where a specific group wants to manage the project. What I mean by that is, they have their own project plan, and I am struggling to get them to meet to the Team Charter (ways of working) doc we all put together. I'm heading in to have a quick alignment meeting (with food!) and see what I can do to get us back on track and stop double doing project tasks. It is a power struggle, IMO. However, I am treading lightly due to the fact I want to be a servant leader and not micromanage. Any tips going into this convo, I'm all ears!! Thx
Hi Tosha….lots to unpack here and not enough time to give a detail answer. Plus I need a few more details from you. What I can say is if a power struggle is going on find out what you are willing to give up? In the past I have had projects were teams had there own plans BUT their plan had to feed into my overall plan (not as detailed) and they need to update my plan with status every week. This may, depending on your circumstance, work for you too.
Have you considered what is negotiable and what isn’t? I like the saying, “pick your battles”. Does the team all have the same vision for the outcome of the project? Food is a good start 😊

Hi Adriana, what are the things which can be delegated effectively wrt a PM role?
This will depend on who is on your team and their skills set. It mostly around Adminstrative related items
Great tips to make a PM shine (vs silly). Merci!
Very nice walk through. Thank You
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching, cheers!

Sounds like you are well on your way!! Thanks for watching, and wishing you all the best. Cheers!
Great tips
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching, cheers!
Thanks for the reply
In most projects risk management is not done bcos there is no time. This is the case in general, not enough time or money and a lot of things to do.
I think the one thing I struggle with with our organization is we don’t exactly have a “team” that is defined for working on projects. We have a pmo but that is only 3 project managers/coordinators. 2 qa, a group of devs, product managers for each software deliverable. But they’re all working on their own things.

Hi Matt, yes that definitely sounds like it makes meeting pre defined timelines difficult. Thanks for sharing and watching, cheers!
