I have been involved in project management for more than two years, and I have passed the PMP certificate examination for more than three years. Unconsciously, THE PMP fee is about to be renewed, but 60PDU has been used up.

Project management, it seems, has always existed in theory, and the PMP certificate is of little use unless it is clearly defined within the company. If your company currently supports reimbursement, it is still recommended to take the time to take the following exams. The purpose is not to get a certificate, but to listen to the teachers’ practical experience.

If you ask someone who has just learned PMP, what is project management? He must be telling you about the big five process groups (start, plan, execute, monitor and close), but the reality is far from that. There is a popular saying that society is very simple, complicated is the people. In the process of project management, communication with people is the most complicated, and communication with multiple related parties exists at any node of the project. You need to learn how to effectively communicate with the various stakeholders involved in the project.

Learn to manage upward: first of all, you should identify your direct key stakeholders, that is, the project is good to talk useful to make decisions, a lot of help and stand in his perspective, often can make your project take a lot of detdetments.

Learn to manage stakeholders: when you do a project, assume that there are complicated relationships among related parties, and there are tangled career lines. If you do not know your main and responsible related parties, and do not confirm requirements and milestones with them, you will be really embarrassed personally. Of course, the communication and management of other stakeholders should be balanced, not favoring one over the other, and the notice must be timely informed.

Learn risk management: to be a good project manager, you need to learn how to research the market and predict risks in a timely manner, keep an eye on risk status, and communicate to mitigate risks and avoid risks. Maintain relationships and avoid emergent risks.

Learn resource management: party A’s resources, PARTY B’s PM certainly can’t just call to move. Learn to maintain good social relations with others. If they can’t help you, at least they won’t bury you and become your opposite. Internally, we should maintain good management and set up our own position. We should not think that we are management and be rude to other colleagues. We should conquer others with our ability. Maintain good relationships with key internal stakeholders.

Learn how to communicate management: how to communicate with project managers is very difficult. A lot of project managers may be licking their butts, but there’s no need. We’re all created equal. However, it is better for project managers to put things in perspective, communicate with a non-humble attitude, and influence and win praise from others with their professionalism.

Project management is not only the collection of cold knowledge points, but also the realization of direct interpersonal communication skills. Don’t be a project manager with low EQ. Learn to be assertive.

In project management, insist on being an upright person and refuse to kneel. Because it’s just a job. Don’t throw away our dignity.
