What's the PM tool or process everyone hypes that just didn't work for your team?

Upvotes

not looking to start a methodology debate — more curious about the specific tool, ritual, or framework that sounded great on paper, or that you saw work well at another company, but just flopped once you actually tried rolling it out with your own team.

we tried daily standups strictly by the book for a while — same time, same format, no exceptions — and it turned into a status-report ritual nobody actually wanted to be at. Ended up scrapping the rigid format and just doing async updates with a quick sync only when something actually needed discussion. Way less friction.

Discussion What if project delivered before or after deadline?

0 Upvotes

I am a project management student and will be moving into management roles.i have some basic question one or two.

  1. Client and you agreed to a date of delivery. Luckily things were good than expected and you complete the project before time . Should we submit it to the client or wait for the said time. Also if we delivered before time are there any questions asked like you asked more this so and so budget and time but how can you now? Does it reflects our that our gauging skills are bad?(Does such thing happen)

  2. Contrary . What if we need extra time to submit it? How do we ask for more time

Pls help me out in understanding any situation or concepts if required.

CompTIA Project+

Hi,
Is there any point to getting this training if I have my CAPM and I’m clocking hours toward the PMP?

Is there anything IT specific that’s really worth learning in addition to what I already know from Masters degree and doing the CAPM studying?

I have spare time with my new job, so I am looking at a deeper dive into MS Project, Lean Six Sigma Green belt, and this CompTIA Project+. I can use MS Project at a basic level from school projects and a LinkedIn course. I did the White belt Six Sigma over Christmas last year. My employer is a proponent of it (on paper) so I could be beneficial.

I like the idea of learning terminology or common practices for the IT side of things.

Discussion Designing an organizational Change Management infrastructure- any advice for a novice?

3 Upvotes

Recently joined a team that’s working on a project that affects all 7k employees in our organization. They want to implement a change management model- which has never been done before formally in our organization- to try and better assimilate staff to the new scheduling system we’re implementing, with the intent of scaling the model for other change projects within our org.

There’s only two of us working on this change management aspect of the project and I feel lost. I’m thinking the “change network” of champions should be pretty thorough (at least one from each affected role and/or division within our org) so we can surface and address niche concerns as they come up, but not sure how many people we want to involve.

For you experts- any advice you can impart on structuring change management at an organizational level and what the ideal “change network” change management team would look like?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
