Managing projects is a challenging role because it covers a wide range of activities and no two projects are the same. This means project managers have to master a range of skills and at the same time support others in carrying out their jobs. So who looks after the project managers?
If there is a PMO or programme manager, they may be able to provide guidance, mentoring and support. Some project managers are able to share experience with and learn from fellow project managers. Others join professional bodies such as the PMI or APM for generic support. Most project managers get along as best as they can by using yesterday's tools and techniques. When did you last study a 'lessons learnt' log?
Over the next few months, we will be sharing tools, techniques, insights and resources to help project managers progress with their career (and projects). Part of this initiative includes sharing the knowledge and experience of seasoned project managers across a range of different industries.
If you have project management experience to share, or some have worked with some outstanding project or programme managers, then please contact us now.
