In celebration of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I talk about what it means to be a Filipina project manager. From cultural norms to the meaning of hospitality, I believe so much of my culture is intertwined with my success as a PM. If there is one word to describe Filipinos, it’s hospitable. Filipinos are renowned for their hospitality. Whether you are a tourist visiting one of our many islands or a family friend looking for a warm meal, Filipinos will go out of their way to roll out the red carpet to ensure you feel welcome. Hospitality is embedded in the hearts of every Filipino. It’s this natural ability to make guests feel welcome that makes Filipino culture outstandingly distinct. It is also why this trait lends well to being an effective project manager. The role of a project manager goes beyond planning, organizing, and directing the completion of projects. There is another layer that deals directly with people. According to ProofHub, project managers are generally responsible for the completion of a company’s most important projects, and as such, they need to have excellent leadership skills, coordination abilities, and motivational skills. This includes leading a team and influencing them to achieve a common goal, often without direct reporting authority. When you consider the common traits of an influential project manager, two words come to mind: empathy and leader. In order to lead, you must know what motivates your team to march toward a common goal. Filipinos are hospitable because we care about people. So much so that we will sacrifice our own comfort and well-being on behalf of the feelings of others. I can’t think of anything more altruistic than this notion. When you couple this practice with the role of a project manager, you get a combination for success. So why is it that we don’t see more Filipinos in project management-type roles? According to Zippier, Asians are the third most common ethnicity among project managers at 8.1% compared to 70% white and 12% Hispanic or Latino. Even more interesting is the fact that only one-third of project managers are female. Perhaps it’s because Filipinos are driven to take up actual hospitality roles. Or cultural norms play into Filipinos’ belief that the best way to help others is to take up roles that specifically fill this need, like nurses or doctors. Whatever the case may be, I hope that even though I find myself, once again, in the minority, that there are Filipinas out there listening to this podcast who are making the same connection that I have. I never considered how my culture and beliefs would have a direct impact on my ability to lead as a project manager until I started to recount my greatest achievements. Most involve putting the needs of others or the project over my own, like the many countless hours I have spent problem-solving other people’s problems because if it impacts the team or the project, then it is my problem, too. Or my passion to find more efficient ways for teams to execute their work because in doing so, it alleviates any burden or pressure from the team that plays an important role in completing a project. It’s this type of thinking and doing that weighs into my strengths as a project manager. And I can’t help but be proud knowing that my culture has a lot to do with it. Project manager or not, I hope you enjoyed this special edition of The Everyday PM Podcast celebrating AAPI Heritage month. Until next time... Mabuhay!

One aspect I love about being a project manager is that there is a plethora of certifications available to us. As a life-long learner, I am a proponent of using education to elevate our understanding of project management fundamentals. Of the certifications and degrees available, there is a long-standing debate between the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB) and Project Management Professional (PMP®). Which is better? Which will help me advance my career? To answer these questions and provide insight into each certification, I am excited to welcome to The Everyday PM Podcast, Christina Olivarria and Kelly Hickler. Christina has previously joined me to talk about topics such as goal setting and lessons learned AND carries both LSSBB and PMP® certifications. We also have Kelly joining us, who has a serious interest in pursuing certification to enhance her career in urban planning but has questions about which one she should invest in. What better way to learn about both certifications than to hear from someone who has both. Kelly will be taking the hosting duties from me as we cover the following topics: What is LSSBB? What is the PMP®? How does each certification complement project management? How does having one or both certifications help you stand out and be an effective leader?

Remember when the Avengers weren't The Avengers? Back when Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Hulk were flying solo. There was a time (back in 2012) when The Avengers was just an idea of something bigger, documented in Nick Fury's Avenger's Initiative file. If it wasn't for Loki posing an impending threat to Earth, Nick Fury wouldn't have set his plans in motion to assemble a team of the Earth's mightiest heroes. Assembling The Avengers didn't come with its' pain points. Using Tuckman's stages of team development, The Avengers go through the challenge of forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. To learn what the stages are and how it applies to The Avengers, check out this newest episode of The Everyday PM. Enjoyed this podcast episode? Want to continue the conversation?

John Dyer is an author, coach, and trainer with 36 years of experience in the field of improving processes. His published book, “The Façade of Excellence: Defining a New Normal of Leadership” examines the four leadership styles required to move an organization’s culture to one of trust, collaboration, and teamwork. John started his career with General Electric and then worked for Ingersoll-Rand before starting his own consulting company. He has had the opportunity to study with leaders in the continuous improvement field such as Dr. W. Edwards Deming, Brian Joiner, and Stephen Covey. The first line in the book “The Façade of Excellence: Defining a New Normal of Leadership” is: “Perhaps everything we know about how to manage people is wrong.” We have decades of bad management practices to overcome if we have any hope of implementing and sustaining team-based improvements such as Lean and Six Sigma. The first step to make improvement happen is to first admit that there is a problem (and then identify and fix the root cause). In many cases, that problem begins with the organization’s managers. But what is the root cause of why good people continue to use the old management ways? “The Façade of Excellence: Defining a New Normal of Leadership” explores the answers to this and many other questions on leadership by sharing the story of Jim Brown (a new executive who wants to do the right thing but inherits a staff who refuse to change) and Frank Smith (an executive in the same company who will do anything to make himself look good in order to get ahead). The narrative is based on actual events (for example, the author was the one who was given a stick to unjam parts on a machine in order to make sure the production numbers were met and almost lost his finger in the process). Each chapter concludes with a description of how to take the lessons learned from the story portion and apply them to help an organization change, produce “enthusiastic productivity,” and achieve excellence. Here's a preview of the questions we cover in this week's episode of The Everyday PM Podcast: What about your professional journey has led you to become a champion for continuous improvement and operational excellence? What was it about Dr. Deming's work that motivated you to take his seminars? What inspired you to write the book from the perspective of two fictitious but very real characters who represent the old and new normal of leadership? Enjoyed this new-themed episode with John?

Farewell, 2021! What better way to kick off the new year than to set goals for ourselves. Goals can be a powerful way to keep us on track for what we want to accomplish in this new year both professionally and in our everyday lives. Goal setting involves the development of an action plan designed in order to motivate and guide a person or group toward a goal. As you will learn, goals are more deliberate than desires and momentary intentions. Goals are meant to last and serve as key milestones in the project plan we call life. Therefore, setting goals means that a person has committed thought, emotion, and behavior towards attaining the goal. Christina Olivarria, MSPM, PMP, HACP, LBBP is back on The Everyday PM Podcast to talk about goal setting from the what, why, and how of it. Here's a sneak peek at what we cover: What is goal setting?

One of my favorite questions to ask fellow project managers is "Did you plan to be a PM or did you stumble into it?" So, imagine my surprise when I heard the term Accidental PM for the first time. It just fits. Not only does Accidental PM perfectly capture how many of us "stumbled upon" the role, but it is also the title of author Ray W. Frohnhoefer's bestselling book, Accidental Project Manager: Zero to Hero in 7 Days. Ray wrote this book with the intent of helping project managers quickly learn the essential skills they need to start or refresh their careers. He is also the author of Accidental Agile Project Manager: Zero to Hero in 7 Iterations, and Risk Assessment Framework: Successfully Navigating Uncertainty. Ray has provided organizations with key materials for project managers to learn and grow. With over 35 years of experience managing projects, programs, and portfolios in multiple industries, Ray utilizes his writing and teaching to train and mentor project management students from around the world via online and in-class courses.

Coffee chats, water cooler talk, quick huddles... As project managers, we thrive on these happenstance meetings as an opportunity to information gather. While I recommend these types of syncs are not utilized for decision-making, we can leverage this time as a chance to discuss pressing matters in a much more comfortable setting. We are back for the second installment of Project Management Coffee Chat with Greg Christensen, Vice President of ProjectHub.com, who reached out to me with some follow-up questions about project management. To truly mimic the constraints of a coffee chat, I once again set a timer for 20 minutes, since we all know coffee breaks should not take any longer than that! Here's a preview of the questions we cover in this week's episode of The Everyday PM Podcast: - What are pre- and post-mortems? - What are the top five post-mortem outcomes that we must always document? - Are hidden stakeholders more common to specific sectors or project types? - What are some common, yet preventable, blind spots in project management? - When and why does it make sense to save a project versus scrapping it?

George Pitagorsky is a globally recognized project and process management thought leader who integrates mindfulness and process thinking into his work to improve individual and team performance. He assesses, consults, coaches, and teaches to enable optimal performance. He has spoken at global conferences and for companies such as Microsoft and Nokia. He has more than fifty years of experience in project, program, process, and product management as an entrepreneur, consultant to major corporations, and CIO for a multibillion-dollar organization. George has studied and practiced Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation for over forty years while living and working in the material world. He teaches meditation techniques and “wisdom” thinking for use in all aspects of daily life. George publishes Breakthrough Newsletter and has authored four books, The Zen Approach to Project Management, Managing Conflict in Projects, Managing Expectations: A Mindful Approach to Achieving Optimal Performance, and How to be Happy Even When You Are Sad, Mad or Scared. According to Daniel Goleman, George’s book, The Zen Approach to Project Management, is “the Zen that's been missing in all too many of today's business books, and George Pitagorsky is the master we've needed.” It is also the first book I purchased as a project manager that truly resonated with me as I learn and grow as a project manager. The reason why it continues to resonate with me is that it couples the idea of emotional intelligence and working with different types of people with this idea that we can work from our center to balance expectations and performance. I amongst my peers have always been known to be calm under pressure and reasonable, which is why this book helped me tap further into this concept and really own it. Here's a sneak peek at what we cover: - George's journey to becoming a project manager - The synergy between yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation with project management - How mindful awareness and process thinking (a Zen approach) enhance performance by enabling resilience, stress management, effective communications, and more - Everyday meditation or practice you can use in your everyday lives Enjoyed this conversation with George?

Going OFF SCRIPT doesn’t come naturally to most organizational leaders. We want to control the narrative, ensure ideal outcomes, script the conversations, manage the problems, predict the future, and win (negotiations, new business, market share, and more). But what if good leaders could become better leaders by doing the opposite — by letting go of the control, by going “off script” in their conversations and negotiations, by being present instead of rushing to the future, and by collaborating in authentic, empathetic ways? If your organization is like most, the old way of communicating and managing isn’t working for you. Status quo is coming up short. It’s time to master the art of business improvisation (“improv”)! Returning to the podcast is renowned speaker, bestselling business author, Accidental Accountant, leadership expert, and improv virtuoso Peter Margaritis to chat about his new book, Off Script: Mastering the Art of Business Improv. In what is his third book on effective workplace communication, Peter invites managers, directors, founders, vice presidents, and chief executives to redefine leadership and teamwork. And he teaches you the techniques he’s taught employees at world-class brands like White Castle Systems, Cardinal Health, Target, Oklahoma State University, and Marriott. "Business improv is about letting go of your own agenda to listen intently — to be empathetic and open-minded in the present moment — so you can truly connect with colleagues and other stakeholders to generate optimal results." In business and in life, we tend to respond to others with “No, because ...” or “Yes, but ...” These dismissive and controlling tendencies lead to impasses, arguments, and ultimately failures. But when we learn to respond to others with “Yes, and ...” — acknowledging what we’ve heard and building upon it — we arrive more quickly at agreement and at breakthrough solutions for challenging problems. “Yes, and ...” is one of several improv techniques you’ll learn from Peter Margaritis’s Off Script! — a book that will help you build bridges, generate good ideas, adapt to any situation, nurture teams, and keep your anxiety at bay. Here's a sneak peek at what we cover: The importance of "preparation" in improv The case for "improv" in improving organizational cultures Practical advice based on real-life scenarios Making sure your virtual meetings and presentations don't suck Enjoyed this conversation with Peter?

Brendon Baker established the Valuable Change Co. with one central mission in mind: to Help Change Leaders Drive Real Value, but on his way found his secondary mission: Fight Unnecessary Complexity. Where change isn’t about delivering on-time or on-budget, but rather actually getting what you’re looking for out of it. Brendon knew from the very beginning of his career that he didn’t want to do the same thing day in and day out. After an accelerated schooling due to various ‘gifted and talented’ school programs, and a short stint in event management, Brendon found his initial calling - in Project Management. Earning his (metaphorical) stripes and scars on projects large and small across various sized organizations, Brendon then shifted into change consulting. In retrospect, Brendon has worn almost every different hat and performed almost every role that exists in the world of changing organizations. Through all this, there were three recurring themes: First, Brendon had a knack for seeing through the complexity to find the simple, and doing so had huge benefit for the change he was working with. Second, Brendon was able to make complex concepts - accessible. And not just personally, but was able to help others repeatedly do the same. And third, that broad, diverse experience meant that Brendon was able to help his clients connect together all of the essential elements needed for truly successful change. It’s these themes that were at play as Brendon wrote his books (to date) - Valuable Change , and Creating High Value PMOs . Both of which were number 1 New Releases across multiple categories, with Valuable Change hitting bestseller status. And it’s those themes that Brendon brings to his clients everyday as part of the Valuable Change Co. Here's a preview of what we chat about in this week's episode of The Everyday PM Podcast: What are the top mistakes PMOs are making? What is the secret behind every great PMO?

What does it mean to be a project leader? Project Leadership means going above and beyond our duties as a project manager by infusing leadership principles into how we manage our projects, like authenticity and transparency. PMI's definition of project leadership: "The knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to guide, motivate, and direct a team, to help an organization achieve its business goals." Allison Ong , Executive Director-CTP Transition Plan & Patient Placement Services at Loma Linda University Medical Center, joins me to discuss Project Leadership. Allison started her career as a Clinical Nurse, but truly found her passion in leading projects. Not only does Allison teach a course on project leadership, but she just completed leading the Campus Transformation megaproject at Loma Linda University Health, which you may recall hearing about on The Everyday PM Podcast episode on Megaprojects.

Dakota White is a results-oriented Project Manager with experience in higher education and healthcare business operations, with a track record of consulting with executives to influence business decisions and optimize organizational effectiveness. She is best known for successfully managing cross-functional relationships and streamlining business processes. Amidst the pandemic, Dakota took on her first "megaproject," the campus transformation at Loma Linda University Health located in Loma Linda, California. The medical center operates some of the largest clinical programs in the United States in areas such as neonatal care and outpatient surgery, and is recognized as the international leader in infant heart transplantation and proton treatments for cancer. In this week's episode of The Everyday PM Podcast, Dakota and I chat about what a megaproject is and how she kept her sanity and focus working on a project of this magnitude. According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), the following attributes are associated with a megaproject : large-scale; complex; cost more than 1 billion US Dollars; take many years to build; involve multiple public and private stakeholders; are transformational; and impact millions of people. Executing a megaproject can be highly risky. The risk of executing a megaproject amidst a pandemic is astronomical. Dakota White shares her experience in leading a megaproject, how she was able to coordinate the project amongst a team of project managers and stay grounded amidst the uncertainty.

With more than 30 years of I/T, project management and business analysis experience, 18 of those years with the IBM Corporation, I am honored to welcome Bob onto The Everyday PM Podcast to share his wisdom with our community. Not only is Bob a certified Project Management Professional by PMI, he also holds university degrees in Operations Research and Mathematics and is the author of Intelligent Disobedience: The Difference Between Good and Great Leaders , which was released in March 2018 by Routledge (Oxford). He is a LinkedIn Learning instructor, with nearly 20 courses on the platform, covering project management, advanced leadership and outsourcing management. In our conversation, we dig into Bob's professional journey, his passion for teaching, and insight into what differentiates between a good and great leader. What is Intelligent Disobedience Leadership? According to Bob, author of Intelligent Disobedience: The Difference between Good and Great Leaders , it's knowing when and how to break, bend or invent new rules to get better outcomes. Obeying all of the rules rarely generates breakthrough business performance because it does not generate new approaches. Breaking the rules randomly does not work either. Intelligent disobedience values improved business performance over compliance with the rules, when conditions permit. This book promotes enhanced performance by promoting a higher form of ethics. Intelligent disobedience seeks to surface hidden truth and to produce actions that are of higher integrity to yield superior results. The book guides the reader to evaluate their work environment, current business results, and risk, to determine if, when, and how acting with intelligent disobedience can enhance their business outcomes and their career.

We've all had that feeling after completing a big milestone - a sense of loss, sadness, and even depression. As project managers, we invest so much of ourselves in completing our projects that when it's over, it's not uncommon for post-project blues to settle in. Our days that were filled with planning, execution, and team collaboration are once again free of the multitude of meetings and interactions that consumed every minute of every day. We're often told to leave our feelings at the door when we enter the workplace, but post-project blues is a very real feeling that may be remedied best through interaction with colleagues to plan for "what's next." In our everyday lives, the most known manifestation of this feeling is postpartum depression. According to Mayo Clinic, "the birth of a baby can trigger a jumble of powerful emotions, from excitement and joy to fear and anxiety. But it can also result in something you might not expect — depression" (Mayo Clinic, n.d.). Most new moms experience postpartum "baby blues" after childbirth, which commonly include mood swings, crying spells, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. Baby blues typically begin within the first two to three days after delivery, and may last for up to two weeks. But some new moms experience a more severe, long-lasting form of depression known as postpartum depression. In this week's podcast, Christina and I discuss this very real topic of Post-Project Blues and give our thoughts on knowing how to identify when you are going through this depression type and coping mechanisms we have used to manage it. Have you ever experienced post-project blues? If so, what are some tips and techniques you utilized to manage your feelings?

Since 1996, PMI has set the standard of terminology and guidelines for the project management profession. It's been four years since the Project Management Institute (PMI) published the The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide – Sixth Edition. Deemed as one of the most thorough and detailed editions of them all, the Sixth Edition was rigid, outlining the project lifecycle complete with all of the EEFs (Enterprise Environmental Factors) and OPAs (Organizational Process Assets) that fed into and out of each process group. Project managers would be tested on this and much more to be deemed certified project management professionals. However, in the last four years, the project management industry has seen tremendous growth. According to PMI, the profession's labor force is expected to expand by 33% globally through 2027, creating approximately 22 million jobs worldwide. We have also seen the emergence of hybrid project approaches that capture both agile and waterfall methodologies. With the demand for project managers growing faster than the demand for workers in other occupations over the next 10 years, it is by no surprise that PMI deemed it time to release The PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition to capture this rapid change. In this week's podcast, Christina, Brian and I breakdown The PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition and give our thoughts on the changes. To see a quick rundown of what's changed in the Seventh Edition, check out my video on 7 Facts about The PMBOK® Seventh Edition . For our in-depth video review and to see whether or not we agreed with the changes, tune in to our newest episode of The Everyday PM (video edition) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PdM-tpHDfw Have you had a chance to review The PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition?

What do Star Wars and project management have in common? You may think very little. However, if you talk to Dr. Joshua Montgomery, you'll find that these two topics are truly synergistic like C-3PO and R2-D2. In this week's episode of The Everyday PM Podcast, I welcome Dr. Joshua Montgomery, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Southern State Community College, to teach us just how Star Wars droids are changing the way that students are taught project-based learning. Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge (PBLWorks, n.d.). In one of Dr. Montgomery's classes, students demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a product, or in the case of Dr. Montgomery's class perhaps a droid, to present to an audience. Students can spend weeks, if not months, building a droid (or other project of their choice). This involves planning and executing the project using a project plan that the student has created. Ensuring the proper budget is available and resources acquired. All the while, ensuring milestones are met to have a project to present by the end of the semester (or however long it may take).

Welcome to episode 27 of The Everyday PM Podcast where I welcome guest host, Ryan Myers, Operations Manager/Senior Project Manager , Haven Agency to talk about the importance of planning. The planning phase follows the first phase of a project, concept and initiation, and is one, if not THE most critical to project success. When planning for a project, a project manager in collaboration with the project team, are responsible for documenting project plans, defining the project deliverables and requirements, and creating the project schedule. This phase also involves creating a roadmap to help navigate your team through the execution, performance and control, and closure phases of the project. Not only does the roadmap serve as a blueprint for the team to execute against, it also helps you manage time, cost, quality, changes, risk, stakeholders and other project-related information. Why is it then that when project timelines get squeezed that planning is the first phase that stakeholders look at to shave time? Perhaps there is a misconception that planning can be done quickly or that the sooner the team can start executing, the faster we'll see results. However, by cutting time from planning, you are doing more harm than good. The risks that could have been flagged by the team during planning via a pre-mortem exercise will likely creep up later in the project, costing the team more time to mitigate than if the proper amount of time were given upfront for the team to come up with a preventative plan. This is just one of many examples that Ryan and I discuss in this week's podcast, which also includes insights on tools and techniques that you can utilize to to successfully plan for the most critical phase of your project - planning. What do you think about project planning? Is it critical to project success or could you do without it?

Welcome to episode 26 of The Everyday PM Podcast where I spotlight Sanaz Sadeghian, MSc., PMP, PMI-SP, PSM I , the youngest person in Iran with a Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification and a professional in project management. Sanaz came to America from Iran in 2019, a country where preference is given to men over women in project management field jobs. Not only is Sanaz the youngest person in Iran to obtain a PMP® certification, she is also a proponent of higher education and continuous learning. Sanaz was in search of opportunity and made the move to America to pursue a Masters degree in project management from Boston University. Her list of accomplishments continues, graduating with a top GPA from Boston University in May 2020 and current President of the Project Management Club at her alma mater. Many people dream of coming to America for its diverse job market, especially when it comes to project management. With no promises of securing a job in project management, Sanaz knew it was the right move to make to open doors to more opportunities than what was presented to her back at home. However, her journey was not easy. She moved in the middle of the pandemic when all of her friends back home could not find a job. The question Sanaz receives frequently (every week!) on LinkedIn from other internationals is "how did [she] I find a job as an international here on a Visa and in the middle of covid?" For those who find yourself in a similar situation, Sanaz has a lot to share on this experience. I can't imagine how stressful it must have been to find a job in the US as an international whilst your ability to remain in the country is solely dependent on finding a job and an employer to sponsor you. You can find Sanaz today in a Project Manager role for Waters Corporation . She is involved in large scale multi-disciplinary projects. What do you think of Sanaz's journey? Do you share a similar experience or need guidance on how to navigate the work Visa process? Reach out to Sanaz to chat more about her personal and professional experiences.

Welcome to episode 24 of The Everyday PM Podcast where I spotlight Mr. Brian Summons, MPSM, PMP, CSM, CSPO , Iraq combat veteran to Senior IT project manager. I remember clapping my hands after Brian spoke up in our virtual class about how gaining a project management certification does not guarantee your success as a project manager. He went on to outline the many attributes that make for a successful and effective project manager, like high emotional intelligence and concise communication skills. This moment is when I knew we had a connection, which is why we have kept a close relationship even after the program was over. For this reason, and many more that I've come to learn about Brian, I have chosen to spotlight him in this week's podcast. Mr. Brian Summons is an Iraq combat veteran, having served in the military for 8 years. Following this experience, Brian made many strategic moves to progress himself from military to civilian life, including learning from mentors about project management. Ultimately, he found himself working in both non-tech and tech PM roles. Listen in on Brian's journey from Iraq combat veteran to Senior IT project manager for CHOC (Children's Hospital of Orange County). What do you think of Brian's journey?

Welcome to episode 23 of The Everyday PM Podcast where I welcome back to the podcast Jennifer H. Elder, CSP, CPA, CVP (Certified Virtual Presenter) , CEO of the sole proprietorship, The Sustainable CFO , to talk about Pre-Mortem: What is it and How to use it effectively . Consider the saying, an "apple a day keeps the doctor away. What is that actually telling us? That preventative measures like getting in your daily fruits intake will help you stay healthy. Interestingly enough, we know this nagging feeling in the back of our minds that we should be doing theses things to prevent health risks later on, but it's hard for us to be motivated until it's too late. These risks aren't surprising to us. We see it coming. The same is true for any project manager working on a complex project with several moving pieces. As you move through each project, it takes much effort to wade through the massive list of to-dos. You spend time firefighting while tasks pile up—things your gut instinct is telling you will lead to big problems down the line, but it's not urgent... yet. These risks can become significant and it's partially your doing. This is where the idea of pre-mortem can be of utmost value to ensuring successful project execution. While a post-mortem comes into play at the end of a project, a pre-mortem happens at or around project kickoff. A conversation around what could have been can flip to what can be . Just like that, you have time back that you were likely to lose should you have continued down the spiraling path depicted above. In this episode, Jennifer and I breakdown the pre-mortem exercise and discuss the following: What is pre-mortem? Why should we conduct pre-mortems? How do you conduct pre-mortems? Are you familiar with pre-mortem? Is it something that has benefited you in the past? Share your thoughts on pre-mortem exercises and whether or not it has contributed to the success of your projects.

Welcome to episode 20 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we discuss focusing on the end goal always and tips for staying on-track throughout the course of your project. Let's face it, staying focused in a world full of distractions is challenging. In our everyday lives, we have that singular goal for the day. Maybe it's optimizing our production to be better than the day before. But what happens throughout the day? You get distracted and the biggest, ugliest frogs you should have eaten first thing in the morning (for those of you wanting to know more about this reference, check out my blog post on Eating that Frog! ), is left undone by the end of the day; thus, keeping us from being as productive as we intended to be. Same goes for our professional lives. As project managers, we are the ones tasked with keeping to the agenda and ensuring that we do not lose focus on our end goal whether it be for a meeting or a project.

Welcome to episode 18 of The Everyday PM Podcast where I look back at the age old debate of degree versus experience. As the project management industry continues to grow and evolve, as does its' candidate pool. The rigid dichotomy between degree versus experience presents a question mark for everyone competing for project manager roles. Those candidates who are fresh out of college lack the experience employers are looking for, while other candidates who have been in project management for many, many years are supplementing their experience with certifications and degrees. According to Linsey Knerl (2018), author of Northeastern University Graduate Programs blog post on "Education vs. Experience: Which Do Employers Value More?", a recent survey of 50,000 employers reveals that there's a desire for both education and experience. Ultimately, what employers want to see is real-life application of academics, which means students will want to use their learnings on current projects and veterans of the industry will want to evolve their foundational knowledge by staying abreast on emerging trends in project management. What are your thoughts on the debate between degree versus experience? Where do you stand in this debate? We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below! Reference Knerl, L.

Welcome to episode 17 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we discuss making the connection between project work and business strategy. Making this connection in our everyday lives starts at a young age. As early as we can start talking, outside of what's your name and can you say your ABCs, we're asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" And very early on, we are being asked to start thinking about our vision for the future. It's interesting to think that at such a young age, we are essentially charting out our strategic initiatives for our everyday lives. Similarly, as project managers, it is essential that we make this connection between business goals and strategic initiatives and project management. Jennifer H. Elder, CSP, CPA, CVP (Certified Virtual Presenter) , CEO of the sole proprietorship, The Sustainable CFO , joins me in this week's episode to discuss making the connection between project work and business strategy. The foundation for overall business success and project work starts here, making it critical for executive leadership to be lockstep with project leadership even before the project kicks off. By having corporate and project leadership in sync, project success is likely to increase, and in turn, fulfill company-wide strategic objectives. Connecting project management with business strategy can improve the achievement of organizational goals, strategies, and performance.

Welcome to episode 16 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we introduce a new segment called "Retrospective." Retrospective episodes will look back at recent project project management hot topics. For the inaugural retrospective, I am looking back at Citizen Development. What is Citizen Development? Simply put, it's taking non-IT trained employees and training them to become software developers. I first caught onto this idea when I came across an article published on Wired in July 2019 that stated Amazon, the tech giant, pledged $700 million to teach its' workers to code. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when Yad Senapathy , Founder and CEO of PMTI, a company that specializes in helping you pass various exams including the PMP®, posted his quick thoughts on the potential of Citizen Development . Listen in as I discuss the positives and negatives of this emerging trend. Only time will tell if this investment will pay dividends for companies like Amazon, who cannot seem to keep up with the speed at which they need to hire a highly-skilled and capable workforce. What are your thoughts on the emerging trend of Citizen Development? Are these large companies doing the right thing by investing within? I would love to hear your thoughts!

Welcome to episode 14 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we discuss stakeholder management and dealing with various personality types. A huge part of our role as project managers is to deal with people. Stakeholders are defined as a person or party with an interest in your project. The process of stakeholder management starts with identifying who has an interest in the project and what their needs are. Once you have this understanding documented, you will plan for various tasks like status reporting and approvals to engage each of your stakeholders. Proper stakeholder management is key to the success of any project. For this reason, Ryan Myers and I discuss this very topic and guidance on how best to manage them. Whether you're managing people as part of your project or daily life, it's important for us to understand each person's role. Doing so will not only help in our daily interactions, but in satisfying our collective expectations and needs for the project (we call life). What are your thoughts on the stakeholder management process? Do you have any best practices to share in regard to working with and managing people? Just remember that at the end of the day, stakeholders are just people like you and I. **** Follow Our Hosts on LinkedIn: Ann Campea, MSPM, MPH, PMP Worldwide Readiness Program Manager, Apple, Inc.

Welcome to episode 13 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we debate Agile versus Waterfall methodology. Agile versus Waterfall continues to be widely debated. Many argue that Waterfall is an antiquated methodology, despite it still being the most widely used methodology by traditional organizational environments today. Proponents of Agile believe its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages, making it the preferred methodology for organizations wanting to go faster. Brian Summons , Senior Project Manager at CHOC Children's Hospital, and I enthusiastically took up the challenge to debate this topic in the latest episode of The Everyday PM Podcast.

Welcome to episode 12 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we discuss the Project Management Professional (PMP) exam from preparation strategies to the exam structure With the continuous growth of the project management industry, it is by no surprise that more and more working professionals are looking to obtain the PMP or Project Management Professional certification to stand out from the crowd. The Project Management Professional exam and certification has been around since 1984 and is globally recognized. There are now more than 500,000 project managers who hold this certification and you'll find that many companies list it as a preferred, recommended, or must-have criteria when hiring project managers. Jonathan Green, PMP, PSM I, Editorial Manager for Roku, Inc. joins me to discuss this topic. He serves as the ideal co-host for this topic because in November of 2019, he and I enlisted in PMTI's bootcamp to prepare for the PMP exam. It was an intense four-day bootcamp taught by an experienced instructor that guaranteed you a shot at passing the exam on the 5th day provided you scored reasonably well on the practice exams administered during the four-days of preparation. As you can see from the three letters after Jonathan and my names, we both passed the exam with high marks. While this method worked best for us, I encourage you to find a preparation method that suits your needs. Give the podcast a listen to hear our thoughts on making this determination to take a bootcamp over self-study and our perspective on the exam itself. Are you considering taking the PMP exam? What is driving you to do so? Are you PMP certified? Do you see value in holding the certification? We would love to hear your thoughts on the PMP exam and certification.

Welcome to episode 10 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we talk about women in project management.

Welcome to episode 9 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we talk about lessons learned. Projects can teach many valuable lessons about teams and processes over time. Those insights can then be used to create process change, run more efficient projects, and work better as a project team. Project failures can also say a lot about processes and communication when those failures are analyzed to determine where a project went wrong. The best part about learning a lesson from a project is the potential to improve the next project and this is where a post-mortem can help. By taking the insights that come out of these discussions and applying them to lessons across your team, you can pave the way for more lessons learned to avoid repeating the same issues and ensure success on each new project you take on. The same practice can happen in your everyday life by taking some time to reflect and asking yourself: "What went well?" "What did not go well?" and "How can I improve the situation next time?" Christina Olivarria, MSPM, PMP, HACP, LBBP , Project Manager/Communications Manager at Yellow Brick Consulting, Inc ., joins me to discuss lessons learned, tools and techniques we employ, and how to infuse lessons learned as an integral part of your company culture. Yellow Brick Consulting's mission is "To deliver unparalleled project management expertise to the healthcare industry." To learn more, check out Yellow Brick Consulting's website .

Welcome to episode 8 of The Everyday PM Podcast where we talk about risks versus issues and how to manage it. Risk management can proactively safeguard businesses against negative risks today, while taking advantage of positive risks tomorrow. There is much value in cultivating a strong risk culture. However, in order to enhance risk culture, a business needs to establish and grow risk management as a priority within the organization. Creating this culture means managing risks will take a collaborative approach, where teams are equipped to formally discuss risks and opportunities while tracking contingency and mitigation plans. William Wilson, MSPM, BGS , Branch Manager at Smithfield Foods, and I cover topics spanning risk versus issue, how to proactively monitor, document, and track risks, and cultivating a culture that embraces risk management in our professional and personal lives. How do you identify risks and issues within your organization? Any best practices to share with the PM community? Feel free to drop a comment within this post with your thoughts.

Scope creep... It happens. Simply put, scope creep occurs when the scope, deliverables, or features on a project expand from what was originally set—without being accounted for in additional time or budget.

Managing scope creep is an intricate art, as it can have both positive and negative effects on your project.

I welcome Jazzie Craig, Business Coach, Online Course Creator, Digital Marketing Expert, and E-Commerce Business Owner to this episode of The Everyday PM to discuss how to gain confidence in starting your own business or pivoting your career to one with a project management focus.
