ABOUT US OUR SERVICES JOB CURRENTLY PLUG NEWS 2019-01-14 To be successful as a project manager Ylva is an experienced Project Manager with several successful project deliveries in her merit list. Ylva has the ability to not only deliver on target as described in her assignment description, she also triggers her surroundings to achieve those goals as a team. According to Ylva this is an essential part of her success; making every team member responsible for the overall success of the project. A few times during the past few years I have been asked if I could mentor new project managers, to offer advice and an occasional shoulder to cry on when life (or the steering group) is hard. Naturally I respond yes, every time. I think that most of us can relate to the experience of terrible project managers, and I am more than happy to be able to contribute on a small scale to future great project managers. But my main reason is that mentoring is highly rewarding for me as well, and it always makes me pause and remember my own experience - what comes as natural as breathing for me today was not always as obvious. So, what are my main ideas about becoming a successful project manager? I have plenty of insights when it comes to the importance of being honest, not letting anything fall through the cracks, the ability to organize, asking stupid questions, being a pain in the a** when your project needs something to move forward, having super-natural skills in adapting quickly to whichever obscure project management tool your customer has selected and all the rest of it, but in essence it boils down to one thing. The one thing: You and your project members are a team – make sure you act as one Among yourselves, you and your assigned team members will probably have most of the technical, intellectual and personal skills required to complete the project, it is just a matter of applying them in the best way. In my experience a well-functioning team can do anything and a strong team spirit will make work fun despite the occasional long hours and unnecessary interference from people around you who really should not interfere. That sounds rather easy, does it not? The only problem is that building teams requires some skill, a little luck and plenty of hard work. I usually do this and I will be way on my way towards completing another successful project: The team will work for you if you work for them Identify and enable the motivating factor behind each team member’s will to work Recognize each team member’s unique skills and personalities, and make sure they have the premises to put them to good use Communicate. Which incidentally also involves plenty of listening Hard work can be fun – make sure that you have plenty of good laughs and foster a mentality of helpfulness and support within the team You are in this together.
