This was GREAT. A lot of ditl videos are like "first I worked, then I had lunch" but it was so informative to hear the actual details of what you were doing and why. Start my first PM job on a week!!! 10/10 tips girl!

As a PM in the making this was interesting to watch 😁 I love the excel tracker you created yourself 👍🏾 Think-cell is also a good one for high level plans. Do you do the detailed planning yourself or do you have a planner on your team? What tool do you use? How else do you constantly keep in touch with your team? Is it just the weekly calls with the whole team & daily check-out with the Lead Eng or do you have a Teams group or Group chat? As always great stuff 👌🏾👌🏾 thanks for sharing!

@pitolinmotion 4 ай бұрын

Thank you ! I usually do the detailed planning myself. It helps me to ensure that all basis are covered and nothing is missed, plus we don’t have a planner ok my team lol. Currently I use smartsheets for my details schedules . And I have eow stand ups , and generally I sit with my team in the office, when I’m in the office, it makes it so much easier to just stay in contact with them and move the project forward: other than that, I just call them/ message them adhoc when we need to talk

@bkrmh Ай бұрын

Hey , lemme talk a little bit .. i’m actually a dentist who actually just wanted to make my family happy . Anyways , I actually joined the entertainment industry and my goal is to be a Project Manager one day. You have no idea how much I loved this video I know it looks stressful but I never felt this before in all the projects I have worked in as site manager and project coordinator etc , what i’m trying to say is that I love this type of jobs that makes you to know more people from different nationalities and having fun in the same time . Please we need more videos like this specially on site , and it will be lovely to show us ( the freelancers like me ) how to actually follow such a dream and to upgrade . Thank you . ❤ much luv and keep it up always

Hi Ire, love your videos. I had a question. I am currently a Management Consultant with about 7 years experience in Consulting and now I’m a middle Manager. I have been involved in numerous PMO and Programme management roles and projects but have no formal project management qualifications. With this in mind, how easy do you think it would be for me to pivot into a career in project management and do you think I would be able to get a high salary with my experience. Would appreciate your help.

@pitolinmotion 9 ай бұрын

Hey. I’d say it’s very possible. Can’t really put a measure on how easy it will be. I think getting in pming these days can be difficult just because it’s just a high demand career path atm. But if you have the right coaching and cv it is definitely possible - you’ll most likely take a small pay cut I’d say unless you can show formal projects you have actively delivered

Hi, thanks for sharing I'm researching project Management as a career and I'm seeing many tech/software development centered information and roles, but I was wondering what industry you work where it's a consumer product that you deliver, and if you've ever been a PM on digital projects and of there was any learning curves moving into real life products? Many thanks

Hey I work in consumer tech- hardware engineering … I haven’t worked on digital projects before so I guess the learning curve was steep for me. Any technical knowledge I have , I have learnt on the go

Hi, Ira! What do you think is the biggest struggle for someone just starting as a Project Manager? And what mitigation strategies would you recommend? Thank you 🙂

@pitolinmotion 9 ай бұрын

Heyy! Oo good question. Hmm I’ll say dealing with crazy change and uncertainty on the project whilst still keeping the team on board. Sometimes the client or business can change their mind, or not make up their mind but you’re still expected to move the project forward. It can be tough. But I have overcome this, by staying highly organised and ready for anything. Also building confidence and influence with my team so they are more willing to move fast if we need to :)

This is a glamorous rendition of being a PM. When you are responsible for delivering multi-million dollar initiatives you are working 10-12 hour days easily. Also, most PM’s manage multiple projects simultaneously so starting the workday at 9AM is a head scratcher.
