✅ Get promoted to Senior IT Project Manager, without juggling an unmanageable workload

Great video. Just a note or two on daily PM tasks: I don't find it necessary to meet everyday with the team and owners. Most owners are extremely busy with other day-to-day tasks that generate revenue for the business. I always send out bi-weekly status reports (Powerpoint format usually with updates on costs, resources, schedules, action items, etc.). And, I always put high visibility notes in the email body (like off schedule, overrun costs, etc). If the project is shorter in duration or if the stakeholders want/need the information more readily available, I will issue status reports in a weekly manner. The most important thing I do everyday is ensure that my emails are allocated correctly. Your brain is made for execution, not storing information. Every email is tagged into a project folder or tagged as follow-up. If I need to follow-up, I add it to my daily notebook under each project. If I need to speak to someone, I add it to my daily notebook under each project. I always send out minutes from every meeting. At the end of the day, I go through my daily notebook (Microsoft OneNote is perfect for this) and proceed to mark items off the list as I complete them. This allows me to manage multiple projects at one time. We don't use PM software at all.

As a management consultant who manages projects for a living, but is looking to transition into project management as a career, this video has been an incredible resource in me understanding the theory behind what I've been working on for so many years. Thank you so much!

[bkeir]

Great video, Dmitry. I love the healthy realism (insights) into how project management works in the real world!

[MirandaBoyden]

I've been in operations and project management for 20+ years. Project management is not just a method it's a process that has to fit the environment and team.

[luistillan]

I greatly appreciate the time and dedication you gave to produce this video! It is both insightful and resourceful for people who are embarking in the project management realm. Congrats for the excellent work!

[pabloferreira]

So much value in just 45 minues! Thank you very much for sharing this content!

[JustFunAsAlways]

This is beyond the very best way to understand PM that I have ever seen! WOW! Thank you so so much!

[JasKCful]

Thank you! for sharing! I have watched it twice in two days and made many notes. This has helped me to refine my PMP processes further.

[patriciakerubo]

This is great content. I like how you break down the project lifecycle into digestible components. Thank you!

This is some dense material. Really high quality overview of what PM is, but it's a lot of knowledge in a hour. Instantly subbed. Keep up the good work!

[hussainabbas]

I'm a junior project manager and I've really learned a lot form your tutorial, thank you.

[mokeeiswatching]

This one video is my primer for every Project Management interview. Ordered my book as well.

[khalidsuleiman]

What an incredible resource! This is so practically helpful. I have been through lots of videos which are mostly theoretical. This video shows how project management works in real world. I am saving up for your course :)

[sukanyachauhan]

Yes, please. I watched this video again and again to understand the whole concept. Even if the video is 1hr or more I'll still watch it. Thanks for sharing this information.

[bennyala]

I think you are the only one project manager in YouTube who have practical industry experience.

[sebastianalcaraz]

You've saved my life, and now I'm confident about working in any industry. The best course of project management put into practice.

[anya_kasatkina]

As a Junior IT Project Manager I find this video extremely helpful! Thanks a lot, Dmitry.

[emmagreen]

Not ten minutes in and this is already helping more than any of my lessons have done! I'm doing Project Management in my college course and the lessons haven't taught us anything but the types of PM, not how it actually works. Thanks so much for this!

[projects.distilled]

Just found this. Great approach and love that you have support materials to help!
