Project Management Resources

Project managers days tend to vary based on the time of year or where they’re at in a project. Their day-to-day activities will typically consist of: 

• Checking task and project statuses in a project management tool 
• Leading team check-in meetings 
• Meeting with stakeholders across the company to report on progress or clear project blockers
• Monitoring incoming tickets relevant to their project 
• Meeting with their project team to scope work and deliverables 
• Drafting progress reports 
• Responding to emails
• Follow up emails, follow up emails, and MORE follow up emails 

Project management can feel overwhelming if you don’t have knowledge or experience, but fortunately, many career paths have transferrable skills. There are dozens of resources available online, on YouTube, in Facebook groups, etc. to get you going. The best thing you can do is dive head first into a project and absorb as much knowledge as possible. And if you can’t find that opportunity, you can learn from others. Check out Project Zero Podcast, where project leaders recount the tales of their first ever projects.
