To be sincere. Are your projects ever able deliver the results you expected? Could it be? This is why? Perhaps you didn’t plan. Perhaps you didn’t manage your team well. Maybe you struggled to manage your stakeholders. Maybe it’s all of these. Maybe it was because you weren’t all on the same page about what the final outcome would be and the vision for the projects. Listen to today’s podcast. To be more confident in your future, learn how to work backwards. This will reduce the chance of project failure and increase your chances of success.

Let’s start with projects. Although you are product-oriented, I think this could be a part of a larger program, or product roadmap, for PMs who manage projects.

It’s an interesting question. We can help our teams and ourselves as project leaders to adopt a more iterative approach. Even though I know you have just written a post about the top ten rebuttals to Agile, it won’t work here. I would like to talk about the challenges that digital project managers face and why.
Fundamentally, I believe clients love the idea that agile work is possible. It doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about agile terms or a delivery framework. Let’s discuss this mindset approach to agile.
Three are the greatest challenges I must address, however. First, I don’t want to talk about client mistrust when it comes to client requirements. The type of challenge, budget and time are the third. Clients want flexibility but don’t have enough money.
