Project managers are not just managers. They’re leaders. Project managers shape and influence their project culture for good or bad. Tolerance can be a great trait. However, project managers must be deliberate in what we will tolerate and what we will not tolerate. Project managers must refuse to tolerate things that cause disorder, degradation, and uncertainty.

One of the first things that I usually hear after describing the Scrum framework and its five events to someone new to Scrum is, “that’s a lot of meetings!” . . I get it — at first glance, it seems like a lot. But it really isn't when I get the person to take a closer look.

In the last couple of weeks I’ve turned into a woman who runs down Regent Street in ridiculous heels to get to her next meeting on time. Who has said, “Sorry, I’ve got a mouthful of lunch, hang on,” too many times on the phone because there isn’t enough time in the day not to work through lunch. Who has paid library fines even though the books are just there ready to go back, because she can’t get out of the office for 20 minutes to return them.

And while it’s true that many project scheduling systems involve much of the same worksheets, putting together a practical timetable for a project requires so much more. You need to consider both qualitative and quantitative data, all the while dealing with a limited budget, resource constraints, and time pressure.

Work/life balance comes up time and time again when I speak to people. We’re all desperate for a bit more time in the day, either to fit in more work or to fit in more slippers-and-TV time or something in-between.

Smart managers are always on the lookout, focusing on hidden risks that can sidetrack any project or business. Without a contingency plan, there is no risk management recovery plan. Even if your plan was designed with the help of planning software, it could fail anytime. You can apply a contingency plan to any business or organization. Government institutions, for instance, use it to prepare for an economic crisis, like those we experienced in 2008 or during the coronavirus pandemic.
