Project Management Experiences
6 Project Management Mistakes I Made As A New PM: What To Do Instead!
I’m writing today in response to a question that a reader recently sent me. Devin from Wisconsin has requested that I discuss some project management mistakes I made when I was a new P.M…. …and boy, are there plenty. So in this post, I will do just that! This email will be written from a construction management perspective specifically, but I assure you that PMs of all types, or anyone managing anything really – can pick up something here. I should clarify that this particular list doesn’t include much in the way of managing project finances, because that’s such a dense topic
