Ask HN: Tips for a first-time Project Manager.
I fell into a project management position at a web design firm recently. I manage all of the projects including site builds, photo and video production, and design. I'm on my 4th week, and I'm handling it pretty well, but feel I could be more effective. Any book (or any other resource) suggestions to help me with this new role?
- dvdand 13y agoCheck out the PMI.org site for resources. Also, there are several good blogs out there on this topic - http://herdingcats.typepad.com/ http://herdingcats.typepad.com/ is a good one. As for practical advice, I suggest figure out of the three things a PM manages - scope, time & cost - which are most important to your team and focus on them. - Don't forget to communicate every step of the way and make sure everyone is in agreement with the objectives of your project. All the best.
