This was such a good video. If you could do a video on what to do when you land your first project manager role that would be great. Many of your videos are helping me prepare but I would love to know more.

[@ogagajohnson]

Thank you. Sure, your suggestion is noted. I will do a video on this..p.s. my recent video has some insights into this as well.

Thank you so much.Can you do a video on how to handle multiple risks in projects please?

[@aurorejonesTV]

Amazing

[@oladapobabalola1061]

Exceptional teaching and as always your use of examples to simplify concepts makes it more valuable. I have 2 questions for you. The first one is who determines the contingency reserves? Is there a percentage rule for it that says it has to be a certain percentage of the whole budget? Secondly, is there an automation process to pull data and update across sheets for efficiency? Thank you.

[@rhodaajeigbe2665]

This is great! I love it. Is there a possibility of having the template, please? Thank you for considering.

[@emmanuelkalu6919]

[@lifestyleestatelandsandhou722]

Is it possible to have these sample documents that is already been filled to go through, most online are empty templates. Like already filled documents of a project

[@ogagajohnson]

I'm of the opinion that anything can be found online. It might take a deep search, though.

[@ibitokunjemimah7453]

Hmmn creating the project budget.. Some companies dont allow the project manager have insight into the cost for the project. how do you measur that?

[@gilchristmetonou5863]

i would to suggest that you may put a link to a google drive or a site where one can download the documents or template you use as illustration in the videos.

[@oluulo5740]

Please share your Excel templates
