Season One of Sprints & Milestones was all about the principles of digital project management, taken from Brett’s book Project Management for Humans. We released seven episodes full of discussion and stories about our experiences leading projects. It was very much about us, but really it’s for you. In our final episode of the season, we respond to questions submitted by listeners.
Several questions about project leadership came in, so we sat down to share our two (sometimes different) perspectives. At the direction of our listeners, we cover:
- The PM career path
- How to scale your PM tasks on projects of varying sizes
- Questions to ask PM candidates in job interviews
- How to develop trust with a team
- Managing people without being their “manager”
- And more!
