I liked it but if it was explained with a few examples then understanding would have been great. you should have examples in leading and lagging KPIs

You made some excellent points regarding leadership, thanks. I've been a PM and now Safety Director going on 49 years. A key factor to being a leader is understanding the authority you do and don't have within your position. Is management proactive or reactive. Is your team willing to accommodate suggestions based on years of experience after observing them operate inefficiently. Oftentimes the answer is "no" because change is a dirty word. However I can't stand idle when superintendents and workers are allowed to willfully violate OSHA regulations and management doesn't support my field observations for corrective actions. Do the team members understand their role? As the Safety Director my team is comprised of 6 construction crews. The superintendents vary in age but none of them understand their role within the company. I've tried listening, they reject training, much to their amazement I've jumped into situations when help was needed, I was a troubleshooter for a company that sent me to analyze problem jobsites, I'm not a dictator but a learner. To be a good leader you must know the subject, be willing to listen/learn, and make adjustments to the plan. Learning becomes a habit for life or you're no longer an asset. As a leader you must learn the boundaries between leader and friendship. At times difficult decisions are required. If you aren't familiar with HOP Human & Opertional Processes, I encourage you to learn about the process on RUclips. It works.

Thank you for the light and informative video! Cost: Uncertain. May happen Issue: 100% Certain. Will happen or already happened

I love this video

if there are subprojects set within a project "not linked" can one baseline the subproject ?

Project Managers frequently need to deal with contract negotiations. My own first experience of this was negotiating Heads of Agreement (or Heads of Terms). And, before we started, I had to ask my boss, 'What are Heads of Terms?'

I found your videos today. You explain terms so clarify. I can enjoy listening and learning.

Ich Grüße Ganz FraUAS und prof. Hefter ❤

❤ Excellent! Clear, Cathy and easy to follow!!

For the last 100 years, this was called a "to do list".

It's a great video, but please whiten your teeth.

Contingency and risk… I thought one method was to chart a matrix of 'likelihood' against 'severity' to give each scenario a score, perhaps 1 to 3 on a R-A-G scale. Q: does this have a name?

This has really helped me, thank you!

First of all, thank you for all these fantastic videos, Mike. I've been watching a lot of them recently as I look to transition out of teaching (in recent years doing leadership roles within schools). Do you have any advice around breaking into a scrum master or project management role without any hands-on experience of the methodologies that employers require you to have in job descriptions? I'm poised to do a certification and am wondering if this is all I'll need to start applying for jobs with a hope of landing one.

Quite an amazing concise explanation of estimation....

There is no such thing as Waterfall project management and has only recent currency due to its projorative use by some agilists - as suggested in the video. I understand why the confusion. ALL projects Start, Do stuff then Finish, but that isnt much of a life-cycle. HOW they go about this is another matter. There is NO SINGLE life-cycle that all projects must follow, but a huge variety of adaptations appropriate to a project. Therefore Project management has NEVER been defined by ANY life-cycle, there is way more to project management than that. Just say PROJECT MANAGEMENT, then adapt to the needs of the project, the organisation, the team, the individual and even to the moment. Oh and by the way, the latest bit of nonsense is Hybrid project management, quite without foundation.

Fantastic content as always. Thank you. Your clear and measured speaking style gives me confidence in what you are saying. And what you are saying aligns with my values and actions as a PM so I have confidence I’m on the right track.

Thanks for the good explanation! It helps!

What are my four essentials for project team leadership, and my four skills? Watch this 13-minute video to find out.

This is a great video Mike. One of the best explanations that I’ve come across. I’ve been both a Change Leader and a transformation Lead. They were indeed very different roles, requiring very different tools and skillsets for success. As a change Manager I worked at a tactical level mostly with those within the business. Whereas when I was working on Major transformation it required mainly strategic activities with far more interaction with senior leadership and then translating to actions at a tactical level. Both are great technical roles. 🙌👍

Really like the simple and easy explanation - engaging as well. I tried my hand with Gantt charts, and found it a bit easier to map out things using this Gannt chart maker from Creately, or with similar software.

To be honest, looking for a tool, for mechanical engineering filed (not software)...

intro music so loud hahaha

More histories, please! My take on this is to see how design management, as adopted in British architecture in 1963, has influenced project management, which of course has always influenced business. And how the UK Government introduced a five-step contract procurement process into the H.M Treasuries Gateway programmes. That's now aligned with the eight stage design management frameworks most typically used in construction, but I don't really know how to find out more about it. An archaeology of documents!

Thank you a lot for this video I found it easy to understand but very concise and complete explanation.

Every company in the planet should bring spaces and time to employees and teams to discuss and learn about this so important topic. Great content! Thanks a lot! ❤

I’m writing exams on Project analysis and evaluation tomorrow… thanks sir 😊

You made me hooked on all the way in the video. Amazing lecture.

Number 9 on your list: Otherwise known as controlling the narrative. This is what people with an agenda do.

Thank you so much for information!

This was awesome. Thanks

Great definitions, here. I simply assumed 'transformation' is the process of 'change'. So many aspects.

The details are giving me life.

I need to know, is this just membership or do they Offer a PMP course?

Continuing our series on unravelling fine distinctions, heres one that confuses a lot of people: the difference between change and transformation. What do you think?

Fantastic conversation and very insightful. Thank you gents. Just bought the book 😊

Life saver

Hi Mike! Just want to give some thanks to you. My Supply Chain degree class has been using your videos to help study for our project management module, it's been extremely beneficial to our studies. My friend Harry in particular struggled so much with that module but your videos helped him overcome his challenges. Have you got any advice for my friend who is looking to become a project manager who is struggling getting to grips? Cheers!

Work Breakdown structure to Story mapping :) Fantastic video.

Incredible video! Thank you for the clarity and effectiveness in your approach. Not surprised you planned the video well haha

Nice conversation between 2 intelligent gentlemen! thanks for posting!

Nicely described !

Based on my four decades of experience in the IT industry, I believe that successful projects hinge on effective Requirements Engineering. Regardless of whether you use Agile or another methodology, the core goal of any project is to deliver a solution that meets customer requirements. Unfortunately, this crucial aspect is often overlooked. When I started my career in the early 80s, rigorous training in Requirements Management (RM) was mandatory for writing program specifications, design, coding, and testing. Today, this practice has diminished, with many preferring to spend three times the effort fixing issues during testing rather than investing in proper RM upfront. If you're interested in discussing this further, we can have a separate conversation. Here are some reasons why Requirements Management is so critical, based on my personal experience: - It is essential for meaningful estimation. - It is crucial for Risk Assessment. - It forms the foundation for solution design. - It guides the coding and testing processes. Despite its importance, RM is often undervalued by project personnel. Additionally, it's important to understand that projects deliver capabilities, not benefits. Benefits Management falls under Program Management, and this connection between Project Management and Program Management is frequently misunderstood in the industry. I appreciate your work and passion, and often reference your videos to others. Keep up the great work, and my best wishes to you.💐💐🙏
