#201 Life is Project Management

When you hear the term "project management," what comes to mind? Task management, schedule management, human resources. All of these are essential elements, but I would like to share with you in the upcoming blog series what I think is the most important thing to remember in project management.

First of all, I would like to share my definition and impression of project management.

At first, I was struggling just to fulfill my role as a project manager.

I only covered the so-called basics such as task management, schedule management, and human resources.

And finally, how to make the data "beautiful" and appealing.

Of course, these are important elements.

But only after these are in place, full-scale project management can finally begin.

Other than the basic elements, necessary fine-tuning and handling of emergency situations are also very important. (Stay tuned for more details in future posts)

There are a few things that I have learned through my experience in project management.

The first is the importance of the people involved in each project.

Of course, no one can understand the project from the beginning, so it is up to the project manager to deepen his or her understanding of the project site and to make sure that the entire project is well understood and that the goals are achieved.

I believe that the human resources involved are a very important factor.

This is something I feel strongly about because I gained six years of experience in the field prior to becoming a manager.

The second is flexibility.

How flexible can you be?

I feel that I am doing a good job in project management when I am able to respond well in this area. I used the word “feel” on purpose, because it is more than just on a logical level - all five senses and intuition need to be on board as well.

The third thing is something I have been thinking about recently: Why am I choosing this role? Knowing the why here is important because getting stuck in the “how’s” can become overwhelming and stressful.

For me, it is not only about being able to see various perspectives within the organization, but always keeping in mind why I chose this role in the first place.

What are the implications of having two careers along with HR development and coaching?

There are many people who are independent, but I am not aware of many dual hatters who maintain two careers.

I believe there are things that I can understand and share because I am still currently out there in the field.

And as for the "life is project management" part of the title, I have recently come to realize that the importance of personnel management, flexibility, and why we choose the roles we do, can also be applied to life management.

When you think about your life management, what comes up?

Please continue to take good care of your health during the full-blown heat of the summer season.

I wish you a week with as many smiles as possible!
