Any times for coming onto a project that has already been started? I'm starting on a new project with a new team that is already well into development. I have only been on projects that have started from 0, any tips on aclimating to a new project where the ball is already rolling?
@RealJonSarge, I definitely know how you feel, and I've been in that situation so many times. Here are a few tips from my own experience:
1. If you can, speak to the previous Project Lead who was in charge of the project, so you can get a better understanding of the project background, assumptions, risks, timeline, etc
2. Get a copy of the most important Project Documents and read through them (i.e. Charter, Business Case, Project Schedule, Project Plans, Previous Meeting Minutes, Requirements Documentation, etc),
3. Depending on the scale of your project and team, meet with the key project leads so you can build that trust and relationship early on, and ask them questions you have about the project, so you can ramp up as fast as possible
4. Get to know the Project Sponsor, and any other stakeholders who have High Power and High Interest, so you can align on their expectations on the Definition of Success,
5. Understand what the current Communication Plan is, and how you'll keep the cadence of discussions, steering committees, engagement level, etc sustained
Just a few of my tips from my past experience, and I hope this helps! What are you doing right now to ramp up with your new project?
@@alvinthepmofficial Great tips!
Right now to prep I'm reading " The Professional Product Owner_ Leveraging Scrum as a Competitive Advantage" to help underpin my Scrum Understanding.
I am also going through all our documentation on Notion and Discord.
I have a meeting set up with the current Product Owner and the CEO to get a understanding of their problems and how we can develop a roadmap to achieve their goals.
I also have a meeting set up with our hardware engener who has been acting as the project manager in a limited capacity to understand where the project is at and the needs that a full time project manager can help fill the project gaps.
Is it possible to from a project coordinator to something more technical? I feel like I'm kind of just stuck in a rut.
Absolutely, I've worked with Project Managers who became Project Managers, and even moved up the ladder to be Directors in Program management. You can absolutely do it!
Does the pmp capm cert just need high school/ged/college diploma scan pdf or do they actually call the school and check? Asking for a friend lol
You do not need to scan in your diploma when you submit your application.
