How Leading Multiple Projects Can Secretly Harm Your Career

[@ITProjectManagers]

🔥 There’s one skill that separates great IT Project Managers from everyone else-project tailoring. Most project managers get stuck trying to learn every new tool and process out there. They dive deep into theories but still struggle to deliver projects on time and within budget. It’s frustrating. The truth is, great project managers don’t try to do it all-they focus on tailoring simple processes and tools that work best for their team and projects. That’s what creates transparency, predictability, and results. But here’s the thing-tailoring isn’t just guessing what might work. It’s about knowing three critical components: 1) Understanding project management on a deeper level. 2) Knowing exactly what to tailor. 3) Applying it effectively in real companies with real people. That’s why I created the Professional Development Plan for IT Project Managers-to help you master project tailoring and finally become the project manager who delivers every time, no matter the challenge. ✅ Click the link below to get your development plan now and take the next step toward mastering project management. itpmschool.com/get-plan?

You have touched upon a very important point.

[@ITProjectManagers]

Glad you see it the same way. I think most project managers don't realize this. Do you run multiple projects right now? What's your plan to break free?:)

@@ITProjectManagers I resigned. I felt I got lost in a never ending loop. I was mentally traumatised, was lost the appetite to explore and learn new things. The main problem was my colleagues see this as my disability to manage things. Once the unnecessary blame game started being played I couldn't control anymore. Everything you said in the first half of this video is exactly what I have been through. I couldn't believe when you explained it so well. I wish everyone realises this before it's too late.

[@ITProjectManagers]

Sorry to hear that. And thanks for sharing. I hope you recover soon. There are still many great projects out there in great companies. Not all of them are bad.

Me sitting over here in an org that knows nothing about project management, slotted into a project manager role running (at this point) 35 projects...... someone help.... 😅😅😅. Its mostly the IT portion of those projects but still.

I hate leading multiple projects

[@ITProjectManagers]

Yeah, me too. I worked really hard to ensure I lead one to two projects max.
