Accountability phrase from this episode is a complete paradigm shift. Thank you for sharing this

[@foluobe5126]

I absolutely resonate with the holding people who do not directly report to you accountable. Thank you.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

So glad to hear that you could resonate with this video! I completely agree as well - it's very difficult to hold people accountable for their work, if they don't report to you - it's why I believe it's important to build relationships so you can tap into the "soft" skill side of things and hopefully, use persuasion and negotiation

Thanks Mark, glad to hear from you! Nice work with going back to the gym and staying focused on being healthier! It's been a struggle for me as well dedicating time to go back to the gym. Also, great to hear that you're looking into business hustle plans to develop some passive income streams. I plan to release an upcoming video about books I'm reading, so that I can learn more about business & entrepreneurship this year. Definitely stay tuned for when I release that video

Can you share the test case report by EOD ? ❌️ Say like this - Hey, Can we count on you to have the test case report by end of day ? ✅️ It shows team work in lieu of authority, trust, respect. Awesome, sir. Please make a full video on such excellent words/sentences.❤

Really glad you found it helpful!!

What type of project management dashboard reporting system do you recommend that can be easily implemented in organization that might not have a standard PM reporting template.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

It'll depend on your organization's budget and what they're looking for. I've used in the past, very comprehensive Portfolio Management Software, that had built in reporting dashboards, such as Workfront and Clarizen. For much smaller companies, I've used simple tools like Excel or whichever PM Software my organization was using. I'll add this a video idea to my list for future videos to create

It's been hard trying to land a project manager job as an entry level😢

[@alvinthepmofficial]

I completely know how you feel, it is extremely challenging to land an entry-level PM job if you don't have experience. I'll be releasing a future video about this, and hopefully it'll help you out when applying

[@rogeliobernal5263]

All that you say here is true.

[@alvinthepmofficial]

So glad that you were able to resonate with what I shared in this video!

Challenges? Scope creep. Definitely scope creep. 🙂

[@alvinthepmofficial]

Completely agree with you, scope creep is always a big challenge!
