- Technical skills for IT Project Manager are hard to master. But do you actually need hard skills or technical background? You don't need to be a technical expert to lead an IT Project but you need to develop technical awareness as much as possible. In this video, I'll explain how to learn new technical skills easier and faster.

You are welcome! Good luck with the job search.
Hands Down, Simply Amazing!!! No more words.Only if I had a mentor like you in real life.
Thank you!

I'm so happy I found your channel. I landed a Digital PM job and your content is absolutely perfect for getting me set up to start my new role next week. I really appreciate all of your knowledge and insights.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you did to create such a great channel! It's very informative.
Do you do one on one calls / emails for people who are just starting a new PM role and need a go-to person to ask questions to, should any come up during the first while on the job? It'd be really great to have someone like you in my corner, who I can turn to with questions.

@@ITProjectManagers I am really happy that i found your video, recently i came into IT PM role from my previous 10 years Pharmaceutical research PM role. I am struggling currently to grip in this IT PM role because i don't have knowledge of technical things. Your video really helped me. I'm also interested to connect with you one on one so that i could get success in my career- It was my dream to work in IT industry thats why i took challenge of moving out of my pharmaceutical PM life.
You are nice person that you put effort and make such good video.🙂
This was great, but ESPECIALLY at the end where you teach how to LEARN more effectively. "Teach a man to fish and he'll never be hungry". Thank you for the great content
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for sharing bro, I come from OnG background and wants to change my career path to IT. Your video is insightful for people who doesnt have IT background
Glad it was helpful, Nugroho!
One of the best videos I've seen describing skills in pm !! I'm looking to get a "day job" in tech using my existing skills and this is really cool. Thank you
Best of luck! Glad it was helpful. There's a series of videos giving an example of how to lead an IT project if you are interested.
Best summary for entry level Project Managers
Glad you found it useful.
Thank you and appreciated this video in easy step. My perception of IT PM is more clear now. Keep it up
You are most welcome. Glad it was helpful.
As this video shows us as a PM you don't need to know all the deep details of Software development but how can I modify my CV to land such a job when I only have "normal" PM work experience? Are certificates like ITIL the way to go to get the foot in the industry? Or what would definitely help?
In most cases, recruiters don't expect you to have specific technical skills (unless it's in the job description). Instead, they want you to have technical awareness. So, in your CV you need to focus on experiences that show you know how to manage technical experts. Certifications won't help here.

Thank you for this video :)
My pleasure!
Please help my great team. I’m in need of advice for my upcoming IT project management interview. I want to know how I could be successful in the face-to-face interview.
Check for interview videos on the channel. I’ve covered the topic extensively.
Not there
But do you think getting hands on experience is very important for a novice since theory is different from practical. What do you think about volunteering and contract jobs?
Yes, indeed, practical experience is more important than theory from certifications.
But at the same time you don't need practical experience in the role of project manager. If you are just starting out, any leadership experience will do.
That's why I recommend focusing on finding Micro Projects in your current role. Then, it's just a matter of describing those micro projects as experience relevant for a PM.
@@ITProjectManagers you are awesome. I am hooked on all your videos. I just discovered you. 🙏
@@ITProjectManagers I am already working on Micro projects in my current position. My challenge now is how do I gain practical experience with IT tools such as jira and so on. I don't use them at work
First of all, do watch my Tutorial on Jira: th-cam.com/video/rFIyK8aDsGc/w-d-xo.html
Second, Jira has a free account option. You can test everything and play around there. For example, you can try to manage your daily work on a Kanban board. Or plan your work for two week in advance and run a personal Scrum sprint. That will help you understand the UI and capabilities.
After that, check other tools like Asana, Trello, etc. They all have free options.
@@ITProjectManagers Thanks. I might still need some personal coaching from you but for now let me follow your prompts. Thanks again! 👍
Hi Sir, I've opted for Business Analytics (more data oriented) and Project management-IT. Can I work as a Business Analyst(analy-sis management role) upon completing the courses as I'll have knowledge of data and management?
I think i replied to this question under another video...
What would you recommend for a software dev that wants to transition to this role? I'm currently doing some courses like the google project management specialization in coursera, and i plan to get a CAPM from PMI for now, i heard a PMP cert could also help.
I'm not the fan of PMI certifications as the way in into the project management. They teach theory that you will never use in the real world. Instead, you need to learn how to lead and manage real people in real environments. That's because you must display your understanding of this challenges on an interview. Interviewers will not ask you theoretical questions.
I recommend you read my book first. That would be a great starting point.
Do you do career coaching or anything like that? I have the pmp but no technical background and I dont know how to break in to the tech field.
Hi Brent, I have an online course where I teach practical project management (in contrast with theoretical PMP;) ). There are modules dedicated to career development as well like "how to write a perfect CV of a PM" and a roadmap to a Senior PM role.
@@ITProjectManagers do you have a link for these courses?
Sure, you can learn more about the course here: pmbasics101.com/ppm-course-only/
Does your course have details on software /technical stories ( use cases, infra vs app vs mainframe, edl, crm erp) etc for non technical it pms?
@@krishnabha646, there's not dedicated lessons explaining all possible technologies out there. But I have an IT Project Manager Glossary. It includes a list of terms you need to learn to kickstart your technical awareness education. And I explain how to work from there. In most cases, you need to google the terms and technologies. Otherwise, it would be a separate course.
In general, I believe that you can manage any technical project without a technical background. Why? Your "technical" input is usually no more than 5%. For the rest, you need to rely on your team members. And I teach techniques and approaches on who to leverage the knowledge of your team and managing the project on a higher level.
I like your plant ))
Thank you! 😊
Awesome
Thank you!
Damn listening to you make me miss Eurotrash
