What is the top challenge for Project Managers nowadays?
If you're a C-level and struggle with working smartly, effectively managing a team or keeping deadlines? This is a common problem. The role of a leader (especially in tech projects) is really demanding. From my experience, I see top three challenges for Project Managers:
1. Communication. If you can’t efficiently manage communication in a team, your project is seriously endangered. I mean two areas. The first is your direct contact with the team. The second is the mutual communication of all its members. The idea is that you understand each other, give precise information and effective feedback one another. Personally, I recommend that you set out clear communication rules before starting a project and use the available tools - for example Slack.
2. Setting goals. Defining your goals will be crucial. However, you have to plan this wisely and decide what actions have a real impact on the development of your business. You should focus on what really translates into the growth of your products and generates revenue.
3. Lack of resources. Without an effective team, you will not achieve success. Make sure your team is made up of experts. Then you will accomplish your goals faster and avoid many problems along the way.
