As you climb the steps of early developmental stages in life, how many times were you shown a picture of a cat or you literally encountered one, only to realize that the thing lurking around the edge of your balcony is nothing more but a cat? It took time for your memory to register that a specific being that has a bushy tail, sharp claws, and a lot of furs is known as a CAT.

One of the biggest challenges of project management is dealing with risks and opportunities. How do I build a work breakdown structure if I don’t know what’s going to be a problem down the road? How do I build my team if the challenges are unknown? How do I effectively leverage good news? The difference between success and failure can come down to proper management of your risks and opportunities.

Over the past decade, companies have embraced innovation with enthusiasm—Chief Innovation Officers have been hired, and in-house incubators, accelerators, and co-creation labs have been launched.

Once the weather starts to change and temperatures start to heat up, project managers from all industries start to have something in common: it’s hard to stay motivated on your project when you’d rather be outside! I am not an ‘outside’ person. But I still find it difficult to stay focused on project board minutes or tracking risks when it’s nice out.

With an ever expanding global workforce and a recent emphasis on bigger checks for upper management, raises for reliable employees can be hard to come by, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t getting them. They’re just not handed out as freely. But the cost of living continues to rise, and if your salary isn’t following in kind, then you’re losing money.

Are you a better project manager today than you were a year ago? In what ways do you want to grow in the next year? Schedule management. Cost management. Requirements management. Leadership. In his book Talent Is Overrated , Geoffrey Colvin says simply doing an activity is no guarantee that you’ll do it well, much less get better at it.

Lazy coworkers — there’s at least one in every office. They’re the ones who come in late, take a long lunch and leave early. They always have an excuse to explain their behavior and can even be apologetic. But what good is saying sorry if the actions remain the same? These actions can be annoying, but if the lazy coworker doesn’t impact your work, then simply avoid them.

What happens when a new user signs up for your product? If you’re like most companies, you might send out a few half-hearted emails or give a quick ‘tip tour’ the first time they log in. But other than that, you think the tool speaks for itself. They obviously found you for a reason and should be motivated enough to figure out how to use your product on their own.

Any project manager worth their salary will tell you that order and teamwork doesn’t just happen on a project. To get either one requires hard work. That works starts in the initiation stage and continues all the way through close out. It is never a once-and-done action. Instead, it’s an evolutionary activity requiring the project manager to read the internal and external environment and apply their emotional intelligence skills.

If you’re working at an organization that is applying Agile practices across the enterprise, chances are, somewhere early on in the Transformation a tool was selected to help the teams manage their work. And, hopefully provide management with some kind of visibility into the work being done. One of the unfortunate truths about the tools is that while they are capable of doing a lot of things, most companies do not invest the time in setting the tool up to work for them.

This post is dedicated to personal development and a commitment to training. In my experience, I watch organization after organization remove or shorten the length of their projects by two categories: Testing and Training. Why? They are generally at the end of the project and get squeezed in between a date that is arbitrary and project overruns.
