A little project management tip


Hello Reader,

Here are a few things I’ve crossed off my to-do list today:

  • Drunk a smoothie
  • Reached a satisfactory level of emails in my inbox
  • Drafted my status report for Friday.

That last one is a weight off my shoulders. I know things might change between now and then, but if I’ve got the bones of the report done, the rest is easy.

I actually don’t mind writing status reports because I’ve got it down to a fine art!

I did a webinar a loooong while back about how to write reports that impress your sponsor and you can click here to watch it. I promise it will help you get people to actually take action as a result of reading your reports.

(Full disclosure: There’s a pitch at the end for a course on reporting – I don’t think I even sell that any longer, so stop watching when I start talking about that!)

Have a great week!

Elizabeth

Hello Reader, Here in the UK we’re mid-way through the summer and it’s both dragging (if you have kids that need support for non-screen based activities while still working full-time you’ll know what I mean) and going quickly. One thing I am trying to do is make time to keep learning. I’ve got a bit lazy recently, so in case that sounds like you too, here are 3 signs that you need to speed up your learning. Your PDU deadline is fast approaching and you haven’t got enough banked with PMI or...

If you’re weighing up the Google Project Management Certificate against the Project Management Professional (PMP)®, you’re not alone. It’s a decision many aspiring and early-career project managers face.
